Why all the defense of toxicity?

UncaringNonchala·7/12/2017, 12:03:43 AM·1 votes·484 views

I'm with a lot of people here in saying that trolls and toxic players are like 4 outta 5 games. The thing I don't get is that there seem to be an equal amount that SAY they don't see all the toxicity and that it's really not as big of a problem that we all make it out to be... but... how many games do those people play? Do they only play with friends? I don't know, it's just absolutely confusing to me that there seems to be this giant denial of how bad the community has gotten.

The new honor system is great and all, I hope it does curb it more and help bring back some of the common decency, but as of right now there is a LOT of people blaming everyone else for their own mistakes, trolling for the fun of it, being jackasses to everyone because they think they're hot shit for playing a video game, etc., and it's just getting really tiring.

"Report and move on" doesn't mean anything when it shows up game after game after game. It's just brushing away the real problem.

With everyone who ques it is just luck of the draw if you get with someone who already has intent to be toxic. There are also those who may just tilt easily or those already at the end of their rope.

I only get someone who wants to be toxic 1 in maybe 15 games, I'm lucky. But i have had plenty of experiences with the tilt toxicity. However, it is possible to calm them down to.

Reporting an moving on is still ideal even if it seems like every game. Slowly you are helping the system, even if you don't get the notification. So thank you for being the valiant who deal with the bad so more may be better off.

it really depends on the time you play.

I rarely see toxicity cos I ghost early morning when a certain population is asleep.

I usually play somewhere between 1am to 5am, so maybe that's why I don't see it much. But in the end, I'm being honest that I really don't run into that much toxicity. And the toxicity I do run into, is usually mild passive aggressive shit and then a raging emotionally unstable person here n there. You know, pretty much what you would expect when playing online video games.

I have a feeling a lot of the people who bitch about toxicity are the victim mentality people who actually engage with trolls or people being intentionally toxic, so they just make it worse, and then come whine here on the forums about it. I think part of why I don't see toxicity, is because I'm just good at ignoring it and not feeding them the sweet arguments that they are looking for. So usually they just shut up because no one's taking the bait. And if someone does, I don't read it and pay attention to it. I just play. Just play people.

When gg ez is triggering you. You need to get the hell off and take a break I've had people do that either they are 2/20 20/2

Don't feed the trolls!

Youre biting the bait hook line and sinker

The funny part here is they are only getting perfectly fine players perma bans by triggering them with This shit
