Why is that the sportmanship in Overwatch 2 is at an all-time low?
Especially on Youtube, Tiktok and Reddit, the discussion about the game is horrifically bad and unconstructive.
People blaming each other, thinking that playing a certain role in the game makes them the most important person in the community. You have DPS players trash talking Supports, Supports trashing Tanks, Tanks trashing DPS…it’s just a cesspool of toxic indivualidty in a team based game.
Seriously just go into the comment section of any discussion video about Overwatch and there are dozens and dozens of comments trashtalking a certain role and reducing whatever achievements people have made playing that role to nothing. And this 100% spills into the actual game itself, almost every single game sees “[role] diff” comments and people just being hyperfocused on themselves.
Maybe time has somehow made the memories more sweet but I think I never saw this kind of elitism in Overwatch 1 days. What happened?
I think it’s because everyone secretly hates each other. I honestly blame the state of the game. They don’t want counter-swapping to be a serious thing but they purposely make characters to diff other characters. The matchmaking is ass. And the people who play this game refuse to believe it’s the game but want to blame it on each other. It’s unfair to everyone and I feel bad for everyone who plays this game.
