You know, even on the worst day in league, you can take solace in one thing...

...the overwatch community, is worse.

WAY WORSE.

Not only are the people over there toxic as hell...but when they are bad, they are REALLY bad. As in, game is decided from minute one - bad.

And there is no punishment system. Nothing. Oh, you can get chatbanned. But that#s it.

There is no permaban! There is no suspension! There is NOTHING. The only thing that comes close, is being locked out of ranked, and that can ONLY happen, if you leave games. ONLY THEN. Toxic behaviour or trolling will get you no further than a chatban.

So they can just insult, harass, troll and basically do whatever they want. Noone can stop them.

And at that point guys, after playing it for 2 hours now, I am ready to fall down on my goddamn KNEES, and thank Teemo, that we have the punishment system. Because thanks to it, the worst day in League, is still better, than the best day in Overtroll.

I play both games.

Overwatch community has significantly lower levels of intelligence across the board (Myself excluded obviously) but less toxic. League of Legends has more intelligent players but higher toxicity.

Yes , Overwatch players are less intelligent than League of Legends players, think about that for a second..... good lord.

Ok dude. That's why there are so many articles about people getting permabanned from Overwatch on the internet.

Leagues community is full of saints compared to that of smite, and even Paladins (now that Paladins is on steam it allows wallet warrior children to flood chat.)

aren't overwatch games more fast pace and just last 10 minutes max?

so that 1 min is like our 5 mins?

Huh.

All of a sudden I'm not so keen on getting Overwatch, considering how bad I think this community is sometimes...

This is simply false, I have played League for 4 years and played Overwatch extensively from Day 1 and I can without a doubt say that League is by far top 3 most toxic games on the entire web worldwide.

Furthermore, I have actual sources and proof to back it up if requested, as per any fucking website on the entire planet ranks League as one of the most toxic games in the world, and people have actually killed themselves playing League of Legends.

You're just spewing garbage from playing 2 hours of Overwatch on a bad day, but I can tell you after playing over 4500 hours of League and 500 hours of Overwatch that Overwatch makes League look like Guatemala Bay Prison in terms of community.

League community is only toxic towards players that don't follow Summoner's Code paragraph #1 and are bad.

Toxicity of league is very overrated.
