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
Being able to get kills don’t really make you better or worse when you’re new, primarily it’s how you interact as a tank (yes I know it’s not a competitive mode but people still don’t want to lose). Things like protecting your team, big plays, cancelling or preventing big plays by the opposing team, or targeting the most annoying enemy.
Overwatch is more than a stat game and there will always be toxic people (guilty I’ve been there but it’s never personal).
