By this logic 99% of players are losers who you cant help anyway.

Nailed it, gold star for you 
Keep this in mind and you’ll rank up in no time. Also never get wacked by the DM. Why state the obvious to those it’ll just offend and mean nothing to?
So you came in to an already tense situation and your first thought was ‘I know what’ll make this better: being sarcastic in chat’?
If you make a habit of being like that in match chat, I can see why you’d catch reports. Most people aren’t looking for any kind of critique on how they’re playing. Especially when things are going badly. Everyone’s pretty frazzled by that point, so it’s not a good idea to wade in and start being sarky in chat about it.
No, but you can be quiet about it.
You don’t have to pretend at all, we’ve all been in that situation, you just have to not type your grievances in chat.
Emotionally: we’ve all been there. Backfill into a team of potatoes and wonder what you’re doing so wrong in life to end up here. But you put the spuds on avoid after the game, you don’t embroil yourself in chat.

If you only knew how many times in any given day, a couple hours into a session, that I ask myself something along these lines.
I’m convinced one of my ancestors must’ve pissed off a voodoo witch doctor or something because I get more potato teammates than I know what to do with most days.

This is exactly why you are having a disagreement. You believe your teammates are just being immature and you said nothing truly offensive. They likely feel the same way about bringing up a hypothetical reason for this discrepancy in perspective.
There was a GS Raider video where he defends telling people to give in to their suicidal thoughts and he, somehow, believes that is normal and not completely sadistic. But laughing at a thumbnail is horrific because it alludes to a tragedy. I think he is an idiot, he thinks I am an idiot. We all have different tolerance thresholds.
Offense can never be given, only taken. Your teammates took it from you in the same way you stole it from Applesoup. It happens.

I have no issues ranking up but the majority of the player base needs to learn what constructive criticism is instead of forcing a square peg into a round hole imo.
Not your job to make others better. Thats their job.
How would you take advice from a stranger in a video game, in all honesty? I can’t understand it, such a waste of time. And so easily misconstrued, or taken offense to. Madness that anyone even tries.
This right here. Outside of comp, there is no reason to be in any type of comms channel. Just do what many of us do now in QP - leave voice, team and match chat and just enjoy the game without having to read or listen to annoying interactions.
My moms a teacher, she teaches pre K, so 4-5 year olds. There are 2 lessons she teaches her kids.
- The golden rule - Treat others as you wish to be treated.
- If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.
Like that fact that I need to tell people here about this is kinda sad.

Hard disagree. Id rather hear what they have to say. I started off playing this game with a bunch of GMs and improved rapidly by doing just that. It was the same when i first learned fighting games. Got put in the blender ( similar to qp now) but listened to people who were giving advice and took something from every match stomp or not. All valuable experiences

What can you really take away from a stomp though? Honestly asking cause I’ve never been able to wrap my head around anything other than ‘well then. We just got messed up’

Quite a few things to be fair. Positioning of enemies, hero pick, taking different routes. I always try to see the why and how this is happening. Then try to change something the next game instead of hitting tab and looking for an excuse.
Usually there is alot to see besides…wow they are just mechanically better that me.
The beauty is OW is a game where you can hit masters with nothing but game sense

Apparently your mother did not emphasize the importance of this lesson hard enough. Ayy! /s

Imagine taking the time to belittle someone thinking you are being righteous and good but in actuality it’s just condescending and needless.
The same as this reply to you but the difference is I didn’t start my post talking about my mom. Bit cringe.
Edit was for a spelling typo. Figured I should correct that since your mom is a teacher.

Do you not see the irony?
While I try and hold to those ideas, im no saint. Im quite toxic at times (I blame LoL)
I never claimed I was a good person, you can look at my forum post as proof of that.
But you saying
Is the most ironic thing!
Thanks for the laugh! XD

Need to get with your mom to review your grasp on reading comprehension.
This has certainly taken a turn that I was not expecting!

Hey if you keep talking about my mom so much, I might just need to introduce you to her.
Be warned she is married though

I’d be cool with that but the fact she has a kid that talks about her on forums as a leading point is a huge red flag. I don’t think I could handle you as your new step dad.
Shes into older men, so I got nothing to fear.
Unless your secretly 60 years old which opens a different cans of worms to unpack
