>When Overwatch first launched, people were remarkably non-shitty to each other. Now that the game’s been out for a bit, however, things have taken a turn.
>“It’s a big concern for us,” Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan told me in a recent interview. “I think, for the most part, the Overwatch community has been fantastic. But [toxicity] is not just in Competitive Play. I think as the game ages a little bit, people’s dark sides tend to come out a little bit more and definitely when you put the competitive stakes in there, it raises a little bit.” I honestly haven’t played that much competitive in the past week because I just got fed up with teams fighting each other. Slurs were lobbed, feelings were hurt, and the word “cuck” was thrown around like confetti at an asshole parade.
>“For example, there’s the report function, the way that works,” he explained. “Since Competitive has been live, we’ve been doing some under the hood tuning and tweaking on that feature to be more aggressive about handling toxic behavior. I wish there was more that was visible to players in a way that wouldn’t allow for other negative players to exploit it.” Kaplan conceded that, if nothing else, the system could stand to give the players who do the reporting a little more feedback by notifying a reporter that action was taken.
>“We’re brainstorming systems right now where you’re sitting at the end of the match and you’re like, ‘Hey, that Steven guy and that Nathan guy, they were actually pretty cool. Fuck, I wish I could just play with them more, so I’m just going to click this button then if they do the same thing, then we can all just keep playing matches for the night.’ It’s not some permanent friend thing. We’re not sharing real ID’s or anything like that. We’re just saying, ‘Hey, I like that group who I happened to be put with. How can I play more with those guys because they seem nice or confident or whatever,’” Kaplan explained.
Should Blizzard crack down hard on toxicity in Overwatch?

Yes. I'm 28 and only play Overwatch Monday through Thursday when I get back from work. I play it to unwind and don't really need to deal with a bunch of memespouting kids. I come to 4chan for that.

"The toxicity of our city, our city"
I think they should crack down on it. Obviously a good chunk of their playerbase is coming from LoL which has some of the most toxic players imaginable. LoL became quickly unplayable due to the shit you'd have to put up with. Better in the long run if they get people to realise they can't behave the same as soon as possible.
>tfw get the urge to be toxic more and more lately

How about you quit playing video games to unwind since you're fucking terrible shit at them and watch a fucking movie or TV show instead, instead of wasting everyone's fucking time by ruining their enjoyment with your piss poor performance?

Please. Stop. We dont need a new "autism" epidemic. I'm tired. I'm old. I just want to not like video games in peace.

The toxicity started right when competitive opened, I blame the fact that a ton of tryhard MOBA faggots are playing now. These fuckers will glitch a map just to get out of a comp game without a loss and try to boss the whole team around like little Napoleons.

blizzshit can also ban your ass from the game for " gameplays troubles "
You know the stupid shit you can do in actual good games like tf2 ? Fucking around with your teammates ? Playing friendly ? Baiting people ? Playing combat medic?
It's a " serious violation " for blizshit and if enough assblasted cuck report you for " not playing the game the way it's supposed to be played ", your account will be suspended

competitive is fucking cancer because the people who play it are fucking twelve year olds who want to be better than everybody else. thus they bitch and whine if anybody makes a mistake they can use as an excuse for their own autism, they play the same god damn maps over and over again because they're afraid of trying new things, and their egos are landwhale-tier

>>345137875
There is literally nothing you can do to avoid it. You don't have any control over the placement matches, so you can easily get stuck with them there. And they can drag you to a lower rank no matter what you do. I only won 3 placement matches, and I had 3-5 gold medals every single match. Got put in rank 45 where I still ran into shitters that treated the game as if it was just normal quick match.
>>345137793
People were avoiding good players because they were mad they were getting outplayed, said players then took longer and longer to find matches until they were pretty much unable to play at all.
>>345136918

Except for 3 lifetime bans. You make it sound like those bans were to get you to change and not to just get rid of you.

It's only considered a violation if you do that in competitive, IIRC. If you wanna dick around then that's what quick play is for.
>>345137793
People were avoiding players for being better than them so they didn't have to play against them again. One guy got avoided so much that his queue times skyrocketed so Blizzard took out the system.

What it really takes for this kind of problem to be fixed is to have a player get flagged for one report,
but at the same time have a large force of employees look into reports on one person just to weed out the possibility of toxic false reports
its kind of weird how its starting to spill out into quickplay too.
Why do people meme out and all pick one hero WHILE expecting to win. Never pick all genji then flame eachother for losing, what the fuck were you actually expecting?
The dumbest part is that people who do that only have themselves to blame, they agreed to go all one hero. I used to try and reason with people to not do it because it stopped being fun after the open beta, but now I know to just leave.

Not sure how this matters.
I'm used to normal FPS games, so you basically have to do all the work yourself and wipe out the enemy team while your teammates just go around being retarded.
How does it work out in Overwatch? Is it like CS where basically 2 guys fight it out and the rest of the players just bumble around until they die? Or does teamwork actually matter below the high levels?
I have fun reporting people that break Blizzard's code of conduct.

Quickplay is shit and nobody play it, this game have a scandalous lack of content and gamemode so please blizzshill, stop blaming the player who try to have fun in unusual way.
Also ranked is supposed to put the player in the rank he deserve, no matter the way used to get here, so there's nothing wrong about trying to play combat medic.

>>345136260
normies using cuck unironically
>>345138570
It's all about coordinated assaults in Overwatch. If offense can't all jump in together, the likelihood of one man regardless of how good he is ramboing for a win is very very low. This is in part due to skill level matchmaking in every form of play. In CS you can choose a server and end up playing against scrubs. In OW you will pretty much only play against people you can lose to unless you are a god.
>>345138570
Teamwork is important at most levels of play. It's a lot harder to carry a team than in CS
>>345135734

>>345137161
Epic and badass. Toxic, triggered and cringe all have their own individual meanings outside of social interactions (ie toxic can signal whether a certain material is posionous, or triggered could signal that something was set off, hence "triggered").
Epic can be used like these other terms, but epic is used to express something "big" or "significant," in which we have many other words for this concept. Badass isn't really a huge issue, but it's used by a lot of people who try to hard to sound "cool."
>>345136603
What do you own, the world?
>>345138934
Yes there is a problem with 'combat medic' if the losses it takes you to get to a low enough rank where it is viable is dragging down a bunch of other people trying to climb ranks by picking proper heroes.
/v/ only defends this shit because the word "toxic" triggers /v/.
Why are people "toxic"? I personally don't give a fuck if I get insulted but I don't insult people either. Is it because they had their feelings hurt at some point and they feel the need to do it to other people or something like that? Is it because it's fun? I mean, I can see it being fun if there's a reaction but most of the time no one says anything.

>>345137276
I think the "reported" thing is a joke. If somebody legitimately reports you for asking to switch heroes, they're the dipshit.
I just want them to come out and say they're just doing it for more potential profit. The bullshit moral grandstanding is just laughable.
I have never seen a multiplayer game that wouldn't be considered "Toxic"
Even Hearthstone was, and the only way you could communicate with the enemy was through emotes, unless you added him to friends to make fun of him

>to fix negativity and toxicity we're going to stop players from having the ability to express their rage
First off, what the game needs is a dislike button. A 'don't match me with these cunts again' button. Until that happens we're going to keep seeing vulgar messages because it's the only way players can give negative feedback.
Secondly, they need to make the following changes to comp rankings:
1. You don't lose any rank if you lose or leave a match after a teammate left.
2. You don't lose extra rank if your team loses to an underdog team that's equal or greater to your personal rank.
3. You lose less rank after a loss if you have gold medals and gain less after a win if you have none.
Unless those changes are implemented then comp will remain a laughing stock and Overwatch will be deader than dead before the year is out.

Teamwork is extremely important as a single player simply doesn't have the sort of tools that allow them to win against the various types of opponents. Unlike CS where one player can win a round by singlehandedly wiping out the entire enemy team with a series of headshots from an assault rifle in a moment, it takes many whole seconds for most characters to kill any other character in Overwatch.
It's a team fight game. Without your team at your side, you're going to get wiped out by the enemy group bearing down on you before you kill anyone. They'll heal up all of your damage done like it never happened. The entire team of six are encouraged if not required to stick together in one organized formation to gain any ground, only a select few can really break off and attempt flanking actions or disruptions.
It is a "class" based game. At a minimum, at least three players need to be on point, covering what is effectively the "trinity" to ensure they can match an enemy team with any degree of cohesion.
A strong damage dealer who can take out high value targets, or a character that is very effective at contesting/capturing the objective.
A tank who can push the frontline while his allies behind him throw out damage, and/or a Tank who can jump in and disrupt the enemy.
A Support healer to give the team the survivability to stay in a fight

Except every single team you fuck over on your way to get to a pack of retards that you can actually contribute to as a combat medic. Except the fact that you're probably still gonna fuck them over when they try playing properly and expect you to as well.

What were you expecting?
If somebody (or me is playing badly), there are two ways to go about asking them to change.
Option A:
"Hey m8, you should switch to Soldier 76 from Reaper. That Pharah's basically got us pinned down and some hitscan is what we need."
Option B:
"Switch off Reaper to Soldier, you fucking suck"
Which one will I/the other team member listen to? Probably Option A.
>"B-but just get a thicker skin or mute them!"
I can understand doing that in quickplay, because you'll meet all kinds of jerks. But competitive requires you to work together, and if somebody's being a standoffish dick then they're not playing as a team.

>I play it to unwind and don't really need to deal with a bunch of memespouting kids

Pretty much these.
In the same vein, though, if I start playing something that's even remotely competitive I'm fully expecting the occasional shithead trying to ruin my night.
I'm not saying it's okay, or that it should be accepted. I'm just saying that's the way it is right now and players should prepare for it. Will it get resolved eventually? Hopefully.
>>345136918
you are an ok guy
too bad people cant handle the bantz
>>345139640
>>345139550
No I don't. I never cared about rank (I do care about comp points which you don't get for losses). But I also wouldn't fuck my team over on purpose. I don't know what kind of person would do that. It's also weird to me that you might be serious. I just can't be that selfish in a multiplayer game.
I do get the impression that you are actually the kind of person who would be called toxic and resent it. Try to act right and think more about the people you're playing with. If they play/act poorly another person doing that doesn't help anything.
>>345140234
I've tried both. Both get me the "lol u mad why you taking this shit so seriously man get a life you virgin shit" response.

if tf2 is boring, what about safespacewatch, the most bland casual fps you'll ever find, where everything is done to keep the normies in?
>>345136918
Holy shit man, those replies. I think you should take a break from the internet because it looks like that's the only thing you got going on kid.
Why dont people use the mute button like well-reasoned adults would do instead of "He said nigger im so hurt blizzard please let him never play this game again to punish him for his wrongthink"
>>345139353
in this day in age the range of "toxic" is huge.
a few years ago when I playedLOLwith friends, I had someone on the enemy team sperg out on me and my team because when he fucked up a flash and died I said "lol nice flash"
that was it.
Most people would of laughed it off at the time, but nowadays I'm supposed to say nothing in fear that I could get banned.
Another thing is about 10% of any online game I play nowadays if I say "gg", someone is going to get upset
>>345140354
Problem is, I'd be a dick and switch to Reaper as well if I see B. If I'd be just another person on the team obviously.
>>345137160
God damn my man you see I can't understand why you want to say nigger to your brother man.

Sounds like TF2.
there's nothing wrong with toxicity
>>345140362

you have obviously never played the game and just hate it because you are a tf2 fag. no point in trying to converse with someone who is just shitposting. hell there is plenty of things about overwatch that is bad, but bland and casual? no, lol you probably suck at tf2 and just own your own server and cuck around on it
>>345135734
"Toxicity" is only a problem in shitty games like ASSFAGGOTS anyways, so who cares.
You ever see anyone complain about "toxicity" in a game like TF2, or Quake, or StarCraft, or Fighting games? No.

>>345140362
well TF2 is better than something like counterstrike but overwatch's gameplay is superior.
But yea, you're getting blizzard fans and former league players so the community has a huge segment of idiots.
I personally got bored of TF2 extremely quickly because I had already played the old fortress games and they were way better with far deeper gameplay.

Fuck, I wish I could just play with them more, so I’m just going to click this button then if they do the same thing, then we can all just keep playing matches for the night.’ It’s not some permanent friend thing. We’re not sharing real ID’s or anything like that. We’re just saying, ‘Hey, I like that group who I happened to be put with.

>>345138313
Its an average. So a good player can get matched with absolutely awful people against a team of average players. And one good player can't pull an awful team to a win against an entire team of average players. Once you actually get to competitive things even out better, but placement matches are usually just whatever unranked people are queueing, very roughly matched up. Sometimes actually ranked people will get thrown in, or get thrown in as part of groups, but its usually super rough matching, skill wise.

I remember about four to five years ago there was a fad for "trolling" people online in games. What ever happened to that? I want to watch kids scream at their parents over Xbox.
But nope. That's "toxic".

20 tick rate and no maps is the only bullshit things in the game atm. the hitboxes have been fixed next patch.
but the netcode IS superior to source. if they made the tickrate even 60 it would play excellently.
>>345139587
The entire concept of upsetting people only because you can (for the lulz!) and not because you have anything against them is irrational.
We do it because we ourselves are upset in some way, passively, all the time, about people. We can't cope, and of all the ways you can attack people, by far the easiest and safest is to make them mad via anonymous channels. You just type whatever. We're all hateful and lazy and cowardly sometimes (some of us most of the time), so the natural path we look for to express our hatred at those times is the easy and safe one. Then we use cutesy phrases like "I rustled their jimmies" to make it seem like we're not full of frustration.

What they really need to work on is everything wrong with ranked right now. They need to roll out a patch to make hero stacking not allowed, and change it so if someone on your team leaves you can leave without getting a loss.
Seriously, how the fuck is it fair that I get a loss when one guy leaves a round into the game?
And the hero stacking needs to end so teammates won't keep being fucking retards
>Playing ranked the other day, capping the points instead of payload

The problem is the idiot players. It was fine the first few weeks because everyone was thinking "okay the game is new so I'm gonna give these people time to learn that 3 widowmakers is not an acceptable team comp." Now they still haven't learned so it's the right reaction to get mad when you lose the game before it starts.

To reduce toxicity in OW, they need to make mmr more reflective of INDIVIDUAL performance. A shitty player on a team should not significantly impact the ranks of his teammates.
Also, competitive points should also be given for individual performance to sate people like me who don't care about ranking, but still want gold skins...
And bring back the "avoid this player" option but make it such that it only prevents them from being on YOUR team, that way shitters cant use it to avoid people better than them.
They could just banwave genji mains.
If there's one player who never switches but tries to dictate everyone elses picks, who blames everyone else for his fuck up and who bitches when nobody supports him from the other side of the map, it's always the genji. ALWAYS.
>>345135734
They created an EXP system. This breeds [toxicity] because wining means more exp. Faggots get addicted to getting exp for their widowmaker skins and shit. Its the same fucking problem as league. DotA2's community is shit, but no where near the shitstorm that League is and its because there isnt some grinding mechanic that encourages tryhards to go full retard over it.
TF2 (before the sudoku update) also had a community that wasnt toxic because drops were random and nobody cared about wining or losing. Now everything is awful and the tryhards are, like Overwatch, League and other grinding games, being giant faggots.

Nothing boils my insides more than seeing a complete lack of banter. There's no fun in it anymore. Just soulless, play the game have fun mentality but don't you dare say anything that might slightly bother someone.
