Non-stop machine gunning toxic comments towards EVERYONE filling the vc the whole time. And when teammates suggested him to tune it down or have his head check out (trust me it’s a VALID suggestion had you been in the voice channel.) He refuses and proceeded to turn on his volume way high so no one else can get a word in vc.
It really scares me when he claims he has multiple accounts and we could run into him anytime when we log on on any rank.
It was a short game, 2 CP.
By the time we got over the shock and thought of muting him, the game was pretty much over. But I’m not exaggerating it… it was shock because how much this guy can speak (like a true maniac) in such short amount of time.
I was genuinely scared after he insulted me (and everyone else on the team.)
He’s gonna give me nightmares.
I mean, I’m sure he’s a mentally ill person and I shouldn’t be prejudiced against it. But he refused to acknowledge it and went on and on and on and the thought of I’m gonna run into him on whatever account I log on to on any rank really scares me.
Either grow a thick skin or keep voice chat off like me .
I don’t know, he was communicating right? so comms is supposed to directly help win games, it was the rest of the team that was being toxic to him perhaps?
Or just simply mute the player
Such an easy solution, yet people seem to ignore it for some reason
You should realize that this is online game right?
I feel like there’s lot of what you’re not telling us and maybe lies on this one.
Please read my post again he was toxic towards everyone and no one can get a word in.
If you are scared of a person that talk too much in a videogame and that you can mute anytime, then you have some problem too
Like I said, not a long game at all, it was 2CP, by the time we thought of/decided muting him the game was pretty much over. People were still trying to communicate and maybe win before we realized it was impossible.
Time to get off the internet.
The way you describe it I would have had him muted in the first 3 minutes of the match
It’s not that I have “thin skin” or would be offended or anything. It’s just annoying
Is this your first time playing an online fps? Trash talking in voice chat has always been part of the fun in competitive games. These days there’s too many crybaby snowflakes who can’t handle the slightest confrontation. The worst part is that people can have the game they paid for taken away just because someone’s feelings got hurt in a random match.
because if they mute them, they can’t come onto the forums and complain about how emotionally straining the match was 
What would I be lying about and what purpose would it serve?
It might be because it’s late night in the dark. It might be how unusual it is. I’m not scared of anyone who talks too much… that wasn’t what I described.
No, it’s not. I’ve played FPS for 20 years and Overwatch for 2 years and have 3000 hours in this game. I know all about trash talk. My post isn’t about trash talk geeeesus. Since when did you consider trash talk in a video game mentally ill?!!!
Tell your teammates to mute them too. Best case scenario they shut up, worst case scenario you all mute them and carry on as usual.
Yeah we did, like I said by the time we did that it was kinda too late, it was like, when the defeat screen showed up. >.<
What bothers me is the thought that I could run into him again on any account and any rank. thing like this I only need to experience once, seriously.
Don’t let it. It’s the internet, people are going to make up anything they want, or do anything they want based on anything they’re talking in or playing.
If you didn’t know this sort of thing about people, this was a good lesson. Don’t let it bother you too much though. Picture the person doing this like a chihuahua, they are loud and have very little bite.
One of my younger brothers has schizophrenia. I’ve grown up dealing with this mental illness for years, which became especially worse in adulthood. You can be sure of one thing with this sort of behavior, and that’s it means nothing to them physically nor emotionally, and you should also give it that much power.
Mentally ill people can be in one of many many mental illnesses. I know it’s difficult to deal with the people at times, but just like anyone else online you don’t want to hear, put them on your block list.
Try living with one who is obsessed with guns, rofl. It is so much fun… 
this is the worst experience i have ever had
that said most people with mental health issues are not toxic, yes they do exist but just because someone is toxic doesnt mean they are mentally ill, i mean i am mentally ill but that just causes me to shut up the entire match 
Honestly sombra players like in that video get bullied in OW very often, it would be understandable why that person would be so defensive, specially with that dps moira.
Also edit out that video, it has some serious foul language in it.
Integral tools such as muting and avoiding players needs to be more smooth and accessible in this game, not have to navigate through multiple menus to achieve a simple thing.
It’s important to mute folk faster before they can tilt you. I mute players in seconds after two sentences or even single words (like n-word, r-word, homophobic slangs, sexist slangs are instant mutes for me). Sometimes I will mute folk just for being unnecessarily noisy or plain stupid.
It’s never the victims fault, muting after the fact cannot stop it from happening in the first place, but you do have a choice after that. Once you know someone is not healthy to listen to, you have a choice to mute them and save oneself from further abuse.
