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
What I learned about overwatch since playing in 2020, is that 3/5 people are extremely insecure about their gameplay and will either A) always subconsciously compare themself to you, or B) compare themself to the other team, most of these combined with a stressful gameplay experience lead to a lot of whiny and toxic people in chat often
I don’t think I’ve had a single game since 2022 where atleast one person in chat hasn’t shit on someone else or attempted to say they’re better than everyone
