When are we ever going to address being one of the most toxic online games.

Since nothings funner then seeing another player say "I'm tilted - I feel like feeding"; then continue to run down the lane suicideing (Ending the game 0-14). Yes, I get the response "Just report" - but, I feel like lately the ban feature isn't doing it's job. It's way to often things like this happen and what I noticed from that game; was that it ended up making three of those players toxic (Even though they normally wouldn't be).

I'm noticing games like Overwatch (Been out only a few months) has already accomplished so much more then our support team has in over 6 years for player moderation. I'm curious of why were so far behind in that department. We have one of the worst reputations in online gaming for toxicity and that title doesn't seem to be going away nor even addressed for that matter.

I've seen a few posts here and there stating there goal is rehabilitation/not punishment, but my question is; Is it really working? Even banned players are openly encouraged back under the pretense "Your welcome to try again" including a bunch of other systems in place with the sole purpose of protecting offenders/giving them more chances.

I've been playing 5 years now and every year it seems to be getting worst as the game grows in popularity. If it's getting worst - isn't the current system not working?

Yeah I don't think I've played a single game this season without at least one person out of the ten being toxic. Usually it's the losing team but sometimes even the winning team has somebody flaming the whole game. I don't think I have to mute anyone half as much in any other game as I do in this game.

just delete the chat function from the game , have pings and pre made messages but dont allow people to actually use chat and then they cant be toxic or flame

That does not solve people intentionally running down mid and going 0-14 for lawls; you can counter peoples language - you can't counter a 4 vs 5.

feeing isnt being toxic, you were talking about how to stop the toxicity. if people cant talk shit/flame/rage ect then its less likely someone responds by running down mid and intentionally going 0-14 as you claim. usually people do stuff like that after verbal abuse from toxic assclowns. get rid of the medium in which they use to be toxic then how can they be? and if they are going 0-14 it would be so easy to report for intentional feeding and im sure all 9 other players your 4 and enemy's 5 will report because every sees it , there is no lost in context ect
