Look, I get our game didn’t go well and you blame everyone but yourself for losing. Why do you need to send me a friend request to flame me and call me garbage and or kill myself? Do you really think I’m going to accept your friend requests? No. I report you and block you for harassment. You sound like you’re 30 years old. Act like it. Can’t believe how people act on a video game. It seems this quarantine is bringing out the worst people.

It is often easier to blame others than to admit your faults. Those people cannot accept the reality of what just happened so they vent it on others.
Sadly competitive games can bring out the worst in people.
I would not pay them any mind. Those people tend to have anger and communication issues.
I guess people feel like the time in match chat when the game ends isn’t enough for them to complain so they decide to add just so they can continue their rant.
People can be down right awful at times and refuse to take blame for themselves. If anything they are setting themselves up for disaster if they keep thinking like this. It’s not like their bad attitude will magically make the game better, if anything it makes it alot worse for everyone including the perp.

Pretty much this.
Usually they’ll come up with some “epic roast” to hit you with after the lobby has closed, so they, thinking they’re so badass and awesome, decide to friend you just so they can get the last word in.
Classic preschoolers.

I’ve only had this happen a handful of times in the years I’ve played overwatch, but yeah. Can agree to all this. Toxic people will go out of their way to try and make you feel bad. Them older folk who rage need to act their age - and the kids who do this probably need an adult in the room or they’ll just grow up to be like Randy Marsh’s online persona “S****hunt42”. Nobody needs to send someone death threats or suicide encouragement over a video game.
Oddly, I’ve never gotten a response from Blizzard about the reports I’ve put in about these players. So they’re probably still out there doing this to other people.
Blizzard could have saved him that step if we could just talk directly outside of game, like how it was in Brood War.
Happens sometimes… normally just people trying to validate themselves. Luckily most friend requests are people who I pocketed as Ana that want me to follow them to competitive. I always turn em down tho…
I’ve had that happen to me only once but i knew theybwere going to flame me because they did during the match.
I just wanted to see what he said so i accepted, but all he did was still blaming me. I tried to talk with him like a normal human being but he ignored all of it.
So i unfriended him and moved on.
People like that are seriously so annoying, like what do they think they will get out of that? Befriending me and keep talking like that will get you nowhere and you won’t feel better about yourself either.
They probably just have huge egos and think they are on top of the world and are better than everybody else. How am i able to talk it through with someone like that?
