This community is so bizarre

I no other game I have played besides smite have people gone out of their way to make their teammates feel like garbage, then expect them to play well. They don't trash talk their team for literally no reason besides making one small thing they perceive as a misplay.

You see, I grew up on CS, early CoDs, halo, and battlefield, where the community was so toxic that it wasn't even funny. Even when people complained, they waited until AFTER the game to complain, because even the 12 year olds had enough common sense to realize that belittleling your teammates for no reason was going to get you nowhere.

The trash talk was generated towards other teams because people at least had a certain self awareness to realize that they can improve and do better themselves so there was no point in putting your teammates down. Instead, they tried to boost themselves up and put the enemies down.... which resulted in some funny situations to say the least.

It's funny because when I played those games I had so many death threats leveled towards me, hate leveled towards me, heck, I was even hit offline more times than I can count, but it never got to me in the way that people's toxicity in this game does. Maybe it's my mental state right now that's letting it get to me, I don't know. One thing I do know is that this game and it's community is beyond weird.

league players who flame you and expect you to play well have the mentality that everyone else needs to "grow a thicker skin" and "live in the real world", they are never, ever, the problem.

this is why I don't take people who say those kinda things seriously because I see it being used by the type of people you describe to try and dodge any responsibility for the loss because they just couldn't keep thier mouths shut

in thier minds its not thier fault for being toxic, its everyone else's fault for being sensitive "special snowflake cucks" or some shit

I honestly just got out of a game where a blitz support walked away from the jungle leash because the jungle said something, not offensive and I honestly can't even remember what it was at this point, then after that I just muted everyone. I tend to mute everyone in toxic matches, then I noticed the blitz just standing under the nexus tower while we were all still playing. So I un-muted everyone and sure enough he was running his mouth and not playing, bringing the entire team down, telling us its a waste of time to keep playing, were going to lose, who cares. The standard stuff when you're game isn't going well. Three games in a row I got people like this, why isn't there more harsh punishments for people like this? If league wants to grow wouldn't it want people to see it has a good friendly community instead of a bunch of people calling each other names and bringing their team mates down. I'm struggling to move up from bronze and through silver and I do my very best to be positive, boost my team mates up and be an all around nice friendly player but all it takes is one person to ruin everything for the whole team. Speaking of HOTS im going to reinstall that and play that, maybe I'll get less people over like the people I encounter on the league side of things because the league community, the bad side of it, is a certain kind of special. I paid a lot of money into LoL to support the game but this is getting to be ridiculous.

I feel that a large percentage of gamers in general are toxic. I'm new at playing Rainbow Six Siege which is imo not that serious of a game. Got booted from a game simply because we were on a new map and I didn't know where I was going.

And in another match when I was protecting an objective while everyone else got killed, they started up another boot for me just for not dying with them I guess.

Moral to the story: Gamers are toxic. You should look at some of the MKX/SSB/IJ2 tournaments and you'll sometimes witness it live. [sg-miss-fortune]

oh if your getting flamed so hard your not just making one mistake. People usually flame you after you have done multiple things wrong. There are people who flame for every little thing, but if you miss smite on drag people just get angry and thats the end of it. If your being flamed repetitively your doing something wrong.

Heroes of The Storm has some toxicity too. I guess it's just the genre of the game lol. There's toxic people everywhere though.

it's probably because you can't trash talk the enemy, or you get banned, so then you start looking at your own team because you want to prevent a loss and start pointing all their mistakes

You are weird. Worst shooters of all time list or what? Maybe I can get Perfect Dark on my phone.
