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
There are nice people, but they’re usually quiet, or have chat turned off to not read/listen to the jerks. The rude people are the loudest. I’d say 1/5 are jerks, 1/5 are nice and vocal, 1/5 are nice and quiet, and 2/5 are neutral and just playing the game. And rarely there are jerks who realize they were jerks and apologize halfway through the game (which I respect).
I’m sad that you haven’t had any nice/vocal people stick up for you. <3 I wouldn’t call myself nice (bc my internal monologue can be mean lol), but if someone on my team is flaming our teammate, I usually try to tell them to chill at the very least.
