found the carried shitter who won't change from his "main" to a class the team needs and then gets insulted
I don't understand why people who aren't actually trying to play comp and just pick it as another quick play button don't just stay in their lane and pick quick play. Though I also don't know why Blizzard doesn't just lock comp behind groups of 2+
You can't name a competitive MP game with a good community.

Competitive means competition.
Competition means people play tough. They shit talk the people on their own team who fuck up. Fun takes a backseat to performance
I don't like that shit, but that's why I don't PLAY competitive multiplayer games. If you don't like it, maybe you shouldn't either.

Toxic means "hurts my feelings", and carries with it the assumption that having your feelings hurt is A. a bad thing, and B. someone else's problem
A bit of the ol' feelz hurt can encourage you to face your problems and overcome them, or give you joy when you then beat the guy that hurt your feelz.
Think of it like a game for your personality, rather than your motor reflexes. Your personality can git gud, but first it must get rekt.
As for it being someone else's problem, not really. The #1 cause of your feelz is yourself being oversensitive, just like the #1 cause of you dying in game isn't enemy attacks, it's you being a scrub.

I don't play overwatch.
Being banned from 1 server literally bans you from the entire game.
Forced 6v6, i.e. you can't just set up a 16v16 server if you want
Server's backend has a delay of 50ms (20Hz), which leads to some janky bs.
Plus I've heard there is some crap hitboxes, though that's probably just related to the 20Hz issue.
Also, a full price game that also sells le gambling lockbox + cosmetics? Count me out.
Now, if there were a game where I could run my own server, and just modify however the fuck I want, and allow (or ban) whatever degen shit I enjoy (or don't enjoy), I'd play it.
Oh wait, I do.

Oh yeah definitely he's right, people do not like when you pick a character they think is subpar and they will tell you. Somehow these people also don't seem to realize that yelling at your teammates will in fact make you lose the game almost every time and they will be less likely to switch hero.
>>343586982
Like that guy. I've played with a double attack Torb and nobody complained and we won, I play attack Hanzo on payload map a few times and I've only failed once to reach the end, because a premade group of 3 players on my team decided to rage at me before the start of the game, we didn't even get the first point.

>>343587509
Because when someone says "Toxic" "Offensive" "Inappropriate" "Creepy" "Problematic" "Racist" etc
They don't want to avoid it
They want to encounter it
Because they enjoy getting hurt feelz and complaining.
Getting hurt feelz and complaining gives you victim status, which means guilty white men will do stuff for you and give you free things
And everyone likes free stuff
So the "I'm offended" crew actively seeks out things that offends them. Their intent and goal is to get offended, so they can get them guilt-fueled compensations.

I think the negative attitude of the word comes from special sally's who need a safe space after being called a cunt or some shit in a competitive game.
Most people who use the word toxicity are faggots who can't even handle the smallest of insults thrown their way. They don't know how to ignore dickheads in chat so they have to bitch and moan about it every chance they get rather than laughing it off or ignoring them.
I personally think it's hilarious when some asshole is screaming in chat and try to egg him on as much as I can.
>people complaining that competitive mode is taken more seriously
WEW
Also I guarantee this guy is going to end up at like a 30 skill rating.
One thing I've noticed is the higher skill rating you get, the more people actually care about team composition rather than being a hero. Even around the late 40's early 50's is a bunch of obnoxious assholes who have no valid complaints. Once you get to high 50's and up people seem to be a little more coordinated and better at reasoning.
Frankly I don't know why Blizzard lets people solo-queue for a competitive mode in a game that is heavily reliant on teamwork. That's just asking for a bad time.
>>343589394

Bullying tryhards in competitive is the life. It's different if someone just says "Hey we should have a Reinhardt", but when you get someone who whines every single time he dies because the team isn't how he wants he can get fucked.
I have a lot of fun with Overwatch, but I can agree that all the kids come out of the woodwork on competitive with LOL SHIT TEAM, WHY TF ARE YOU PLAYING, YOU SUCK, and it's like...why play at all if you get that upset to the point where you're just being a huge dick? and why play competitive at all if people like that make you so upset? It's not hard to ignore them..but at the same time, it reflects poorly on the community as a whole when every other match is filled with babby-tier whiners when they don't win.

"Toxicity" has been a term in competitive gaming for years and it's been used to describe the kind of faggot who won't stop whining while losing or literal autists who think they are better than everyone andif you get rektwill PM you after a match saying how much better they are.
Holy fuck /v/, Overwatch isn't the first videogame to have a competitive mode. This kind of behavior is only natural, the journo is literally right you know.

Ever since competitive was released everyone in quick play has been a lot friendlier, a lot of compliments are thrown around and people are willing to go one-character teams just for fun.
I wouldn't mind shit talking but nobody in Overwatch can do it properly, calling your team retards then immediately leaving isn't shit talking, if people actually said what their team was doing shit or said something smart then I wouldn't mind their spouts of autistic rage.

You referred to millennials in a way that implies you aren't one.
Blizzard should implement a system to punish players who cause others to quit the game.

>>343583084
I used to do competitive L4D many years ago and let me tell you, people don't know what a bad community really looks like.
Solo Queuing was a literal nightmare, where people would start griefing at the smallest slight made against them. People leaving midgame could cost you 2 hours of an uphill battle, where you have to spend another 15+ minutes just to form another full lobby. Playing with a team was the only escape.
>>343594940
That so. I thought I was generation y. Who comes up with these? At least I'm not a pussy.
>>343594250
The only time I find this annoying is when they start sucking themselves off when Im fucking around on unranked and doing stupid shit like convincing randoms to be all one class with no real intentions of winning.

I really wish they would add statboards. Seeing who is the useless piece of shit on the teams is one thing, but in TF2 if it was ever me that was on the bottom it was always my motivation to switch classes or change tactics as it was solid evidence that whatever I was doing wasnt good enough or working.
I'm playing on PS4 currently and my time in ranked remided me thar I'm nit great at it. I placed at rank 41 after the placment matches (the first of which became a 4v6) , and repeated losses with a win or two sees me at 36. I need to git gudder so I can get awsy from the scrublands. That, or I need to purposely head toward rank 1.

Had a lot of good matches with my friend during placements, won 7 out of 10. I got rank 60, he got 65. After placements everything went to shit, we constantly kept getting paired with teammates that couldn't do a damn thing. Two games in a row we got the same 2 people, a McCree and a 76, both that played that class and only that class. They were both awful, the McCree especially, he was complaining constantly about characters like Tracer and Winston, he was absolute garbage yet ranked 56. We've decided to just give competitive a week to wait for ranks to settle down more and for blizzard to do changes to certain things such as people leaving games.
>>343596268
I don't think Blizzard ever actually used the term MOBA themselves. Mostly just retarded game journalists. Could be wrong though.

(Hint: if you hit “P,” it brings up the voice panel, where you can text and voice mute people. And don’t forget to report them!)

I'd be fucking pissed if I was playing with some retard shitter who was ignoring my advice and probably whining at me on voice chat too. And report them? Seriously? You can't handle someone telling you to get your shit together so you ABANDON THE GAME and then report then? What the fuck?

People need to understand the difference between pointing out a bad pick and starting to call people for mongoloids for not playing the exact character that you want them to play. I can understand getting mad if you pointed out to the two Hanzos on attack that maybe one of them should switch if not both of them, but just starting to yell at a guy because he picks Torbjörn on attack is not a good way to behave either. Most people will understand it if you explain why it's not a good pick, and hey, he might be extremely good with that one character that you don't really like, and actually win you the game. But talk it over with them instead of just starting a shouting contest.

>>343599173
The key is tone.
If you just talk normally and suggest they do things they have a good chance of listening.
If you yell and berate people they will most likely not only not listen but also play worse because you will tilt them.
No asking nicely will not always get you what you want. But it work a lot of the time and being a dick works none of the time.
I was doing poorly in placements. I went 4/10 and after I placed into 47 I lost 2 more in a row and went down to 46.
The whole time I grew angry if we started losing and if people were doing something I thought was dumb I would yell at them to stop.
After that 4 game loss streak I decided that it wasn't helping anyone and I was fucking myself with stress so I would just not get mad and lash out at my team.
If I wanted them to do something else I would just ask. If they did not respond or said they wouldn't I just let it go and tried to run with it. After we lost objectives/games I would encourage them and try to stop people who started flaming. Even if I knew they were right and that idiot should switch off torb on KotH.
I went up to over 60% winrate and now am at 58.

You forgot to call them scrubs and tell them to git gud while you're at it.
Also why do faggots shoulder clap themselves with this "gg" shit? I only say that to my team if I win, or if we lost and the game was actually good, as in they completely stomp us, or the game is extremely close.
>>343586378
>toxic has been used to
Stopped reading right there.
Its a retarded term invented by riot to denote "dick behaviour" in a game.
No one ever used "toxic" to describe behaviour prior to that.
Oh shit, you can turn voice chat off? Time to finish my last 7 games of placement.
>Blizzard is going to have to put a lot of effort into doling out warnings and bans in the coming months. Obviously, you’re never going to eliminate toxicity completely, but it’s just such a night and day switch from the state of the game before this, and now, where everyone is flipping out if their team isn’t performing at a professional level.

Toxic is the stupidest term in gaming. I can agree that overly angry people can ruin the experience but people just use it as an excuse to want to sit in a little hug box.

>>343600648
Too bad Serj is garbalo on his own.
Most people who play Overwatch are bad at videogames, so of course you're going to have remarks
>>343600690
And yet the point is the training would still have a lot of stress associated with it.
Which you do not need in normal life.
You guys
Here's the thing.
The point of the game is to have fun.
Even in competitive mode, the point of the game is to have fun.
Unless you are ACTUALLY in a multi-million dollar tournament competing for an ACTUAL cash prize, the point of the game is to have fun.
If you're not having fun, stop playing.
If you're actively subtracting from someone else's experience. You're toxic. It's that simple.
>>343583084
Canadian Street Hockey
>>343600892
Agreed, people who are bad at the game and don't carry their weight for the team subtract from the experience of others.
>>343600860
That stress isn't likely to break anyone though, especially not now with how nice DIs have to be. Even a pansy SJW faggot could probably come out of it (unfit for duty and) without their "temporary PTSDs".
>>343600892
then people that are bad should go be bad in the mode where there's no incentive to win or lose other than an EXP bonus
>>343600892

Why do people get absolutly buttblasted when I pick Zenyatta on Attack?

>he fell for the fun meme
You know what would fix all of this? If people lost or gained rank depending on how well they did in the game, instead of just wining or losing. Good players who lost the match because of a bad team might still gain some points, though it might be less than a win, and bad players will loose rank, even if they where on the winning team, if they where bad enough. People would stop giving as much of a fuck what other people do, because at least they'll still gain something from actually being good at the game, and all the shitty players will quickly fall out of their skill rank so they can play with someone of their own skill level.
>>343601305
It would have to depend solely on objective time otherwise everyone would just continue not working together because their independent score is all that matters.
>>343601305
>You know what would fix all of this? If people lost or gained rank depending on how well they did in the game, instead of just wining or losing.
That's literally exactly what happens, yeah. Your objective time and objective kills directly influence how much you go up or down. The only difference is you only go up if you win.

The amount of shit talking that went on in UT and Quake games dwarfs this 4chan starter kit "toxicity". Except back then everyone was in on it and knew it was all part of the fun.
I wonder if any of those posters have siblings? Probably not. When you beat a sibling at something you gloat like crazy and pretend you were never in doubt. That's what this kind of stuff is. Most kids stop telling mommy about it by 10.

It's overtime we're going to win.
But fuck that guy, had enough victories on my calibration matches, I just decided to deny this little shit the win. Got off the payload and told everyone on chat I was throwing the game so one piece of shit on our team would lose
Probably got reported out the ass but it was worth it

Competitive ANYTHING brings what dumb bloggers call "toxicity" into the mix.
As soon as something becomes competitive in invites shit talking, taunting and otherwise typical gamer behavior.
That's what happens as soon as it becomes a competition and brings out winners, losers, and all the fucking salt that those people bring.
What the fuck did they think was gonna happen?
>>343583757

>>343605117
The only reason I was interested in competitive was the hope that the matchmaking would be better with more people playing to win but since it isn't, what's the fucking point?
Is there any way of knowing who's in the top 500 or whatever
>>343597098
Vet here. Can confirm. Only yelling. No touching unless the boots get uppity. DIs are basically mall cops now who can train.
>>343605242
It uses the same matchmaking system as quick play so you will always be playing with people as if it were the casual mode. Your rank literally doesn't even matter so it's pretty much a waste.

It's a fucking nightmare. I had to carry my team the other day in Mount and Blade, 1 v 16 so this guy can take his hurt feelings and shove it. And Mount and Blade isn't even ranked.
He would have a point if he was contributing to the team, like if somebody is blaming him for losing even though he is doing his job. Considering he couldn't refute any of the claims his aggressor made I assume he wasn't achieving much and dragging everyone around with him.

it's the best thing about competitive games - if a game has a flaw that makes it "unfair" it's only because other players refuse to utilise that flaw on the basis of morality or "it's not fun" rationalisations (you're in a game, who gives a shit about what's wrong or right, and if fun is what you care about forget winning in competitive environment where passion or enjoyment are only a part of the picture rather than the whole experience)

toxicity is a SJW word now
What term would be better? Toxicity defines bad attitude that spreads between the community, which is completely true, that happens more in competitive mode because people take it more seriously so they care more and get mad more easily.
I mean getting triggered by a word is pretty pathetic, suggesting a better word or term instead of memeing would be better.

I'm fine with constructive criticism. I'm even fine with trashtalk. It's when people act irrational that I get tilted.
For example:
>Playing a round of defense, in initial select
>I haven't selected yet
>Notice that we don't have a sniper
>Teammate says in chat: "We just need a torb"
>Notice that we have 3 tanks
>Figure one of them will go torb, so I pick Hanzo
>Guy in chat: "Wtf I said torb not fucking hanzo"
>"I'm so sick of these trash hanzos making me lose games"
>I ignore him
>One of the tanks goes Torb
>I do pretty well on hanzo and even manage to get POTG with a quint kill zarya/hanzo combo
>I proceed to get matched with this guy 3 more times in a row and he flames teammates every time they pick hanzo or genji
First of all, you can't just assume people are going to be shit just because you've been matched with other shit players before.
Second, if you start flaming teammates before the round even begins, how is that going to help your team win? You can criticize teammate's picks without being a fucking asshole about it. But if you flame, chances are they'll stick with it to spite you, even if they're being countered, and they'll perform worse because of you.
Why the fuck would they make a competitive mode before fixing all the fucking bugs? Two weeks ago I ragequit again due to constantly dying (to normal bullets) from behind corners and walls, and haven't touched it since.

I trash talk everyone even on my own team. It's great because I don't swear so they can't ban me or anything. It gets them riled up though and people will be arguing the entire match and I'm pretty sure it has cost the enemy team a win more than once.

Rock is legitimately the best option in Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Rock is the most commonly picked of the three by a pretty large margin, which any Rock, Paper, Scissors player worth his snuff would know, which means statistically paper should win you the most games. Because of this apparent advantage, the only smart option is to pick scissors lest you be knocked out by a scissors yourself. Rock is the best because of this, because it beats scissors which is the "smartest" option. That, coupled with the fact that no one expects you to actually pick the most common choice and the fact that rock is the fastest, meaning no one can react to it in time makes rock the best option.
