You know what's worse than sore losers? Sore winners
I don't get this. I've seen it cropping up a lot lately though. Why the hell are you acting so salty when your ahead? You are winning. Not just your team but YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL are winning. You have a good k/d/a, you've dodged skillshots etc. Why are you acting so toxic?
And it is not in response to another players toxicity, they are not REPLYING to somebody, they are the instigators of these interactions. I know that most of them are trying to tick you off to tilt you but that doesn't make it any better.
We play games to have fun. So when a player uses a certain function or feature of the game (like all chat) not for the direct purpose of winning but strictly trying to make the opponents experience unfun it destroys the game. It should be more harshly punished than other cases
