I’m (F24) new to Overwatch & have been learning the game on Xbox over the last two days. I don’t have many heroes unlocked and I’m only semi-decent playing as Dva. It’s been pretty upsetting trying to learn a new game and have some fun while being told I’m trash every 5 seconds. I know I’m not great but I’m getting about 15-20 kills during a good game. The toxicity of the chat makes a newb like me feel pretty crappy lol. Is everyone a jerk on overwatch? The game is fun the ppl suck
I’m just estimating with the 1 in 5, and it is only my personal experience. Also, that’s not really how probability works. Sometimes you might get 3 toxic players in one game and others, none. In my experience, I go 2-3 games with everyone being friendly, and then you get a game of people arguing. I’d say 1 in 10 games, you get someone truly abusive. Despite the player-base’s short term memory, I think toxicity is not as bad as it was in the beginning. Reporting/actioning and endorsements have helped (but they will never completely prevent toxicity).
