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
If you mean literally everyone in the game, no. In quick play and bronze 90% of players never use text chat except to say gg at the end, and way fewer people use voice chat. Though the higher you go up the competitive ladder, the worse the toxicity gets. In silver, almost every game has somebody using voice (because you can call out enemies much faster that way), which means an increased chance of running into toxic players.
