Battleground Blitz Toxicity

Just hit the item level for Blitz. Wanted to hop in one and see what it was all about.

Took one match to receive some of the most unhinged verbal abuse I’ve seen in a game in years. Nice to see nothing has changed. Aren’t video games supposed to be fun rather than the source of a stroke every time you lose a match?

Sheesh. Happy Thanksgiving.

Make friends with your ignore button. A bunch of grown man children play this game. Take nothing personal.

new game mode
same player base
you’re surprised?
maybe just play regular bgs like we’ve all been doing for 20 years instead if thinking a rated mode is going to fix “it”.

A lot of the toxicity is due to the broken mmr system / RNG nature of the mode. Some people quit and others crash out.

anything aside from that is your usual egos / dramatics.

OP just have fun, and report all verbal abuse to Blizz, thats one thing they are big on getting out of the game. And verbally abusive players need to go.

The PvP season is dead unfortunately, the exploiters and ratings sellers every season run players off. Nothing left but hardcore sweats, and real money boosters selling ratings. Blizzard does not stop the exploiters so its only gotten worse.

Don’t take it personally bro, it’s just frustration at Blizzard’s indifference towards us, who have been ignored for almost 2 months now with no signs of reflection, but they are making a thousand changes to the PVE game.

We should petition to have safe spaces to get your feelings checked in bgs as well.

Most toxic part is the parent company that through inaction basically allows the 3rd party websites to take over and monetize all pvp rewards. But if Mythic+ has a problem its all hands on deck, blue post to the public the works.

I know thats kinda of hard to understand nowdays, but 99% of this kind of problem is in our own mind.
Humans are like this, MMOS, specially PVP are about social interactions so it will happen, its up to us to absorb or not, life is not always about people embracing us. It happen in ALL SPORTS.

The ideal scenario is a place that this kind of behavior will never happen, but it will never happen, games that punish its players hard for this reason tend to die, League of Legends is a good example, its not a dead game yet but its losing LOT of players.

Blitz queue is already about 15 min, imagine punishing players for chat, its just a matter of time.

I got flamed yesterday, i complained about damage and my team said I wasn’t doing objectives, how im suposed to pick orbs if my team is not killing enemy orbs… i had 300M dmg and the feral druid that said this had 70M…

It will happen forever, im not sad about this, its just nature.

M+ toxicity is way worse than anything I’ve experienced in Blitz.

guys… I think we need to be more toxic, even the dragonslayers are doing it better than us

i’m disappointed in all of you

Id like to know what was said if possible cuz a lot of whats said in this game isnt toxic its just not what some wanna hear.

me to my team “if you go do the anniversary stuff you cant ruin 7 other players gametime.”

suspended for 4 weeks

Low MMR solo battleground and related quests are a good way to get gear, along with doing all of the other content types, at least once a day for a win and war crates, however some people expect everyone to get bis gear and only play their main character from the start of the season. It’s not nice or fair or the right thing to do to verbally abuse someone that’s not geared yet, but people will do it.

I second the motion to exercise your ignore button when you come across someone that’s not being nice.

I mean a lot of people are just cluelessly bad as well. Not always bad actors. Im abouts to start playing my rogue like a warrior because i cant trust 7 other people to do their jobs, while im doing the rogue things. stopped playing hunter for the time, because base sitting one base all game while your team cant do a thing feels bad. DH, tho underwhelming, at least is forced into more team fighting.

edit: and i know i could rotate off a base after it becomes uncappable, but the risks are too high to be able to get back and recap it, nor can i trust my team to press “M.” or even have their objective tabs open to see the timers.
