Hear me out. I’ve played this game since it came out and in no way am I denying this game has toxic players. But so does every online competitive game.

Not counting clueless players (because there’s a ton of those with 0 game sense) — toxic players are pretty rare for me. Maybe 1 out of every 10 games someone TK’s a player on my team, but even then I’m rarely on the receiving end.

What I have seen though are people who think they’re being helpful, and by all accounts are correct in what they’re saying, but just awful at saying it.

We had a roaming doc on our team last night. Kid hops on mic and yells “yo Doc why the fuck are you roaming? How does your operator fucking help us if you’re not on site when we’re getting pushed and half health?! Jesus Christ I hate kids like you”.

Like by all accounts the kid was right, but then next round that Doc TK’d the kid who said that and I have to assume it’s because no one wants to be screamed at like that even if they’re wrong.

Is there a chance that this is what’s happening more often that not with the people who keep posting about this toxic community?
