Young_SanityRockoEvery competitive video game has toxicity.Im extremely toxic. Im toxic if you arent putting in the same effort Im putting into a game. I know when to not cross the line at times but, at the same time you can just fucking turn off your monitor. I don't let toxicity affect me if I can most toxicity comes from shitters that are in an extremely low div.
TF2's seems to be specifically bad.
I've been playing tf2 since 2013 which i understand is a late entry compared to others. I'm not some famous competitive player, youtuber, streamer, whatever, but I do love this game.
It's been difficult to get into competitive and I know for a fact that many of my friends alongside people who used to play comp with me just dont want to touch the game anymore. Which just leaves me with so many questions.
If you're playing with toxic people, why? Isn't it better to try and grow as a player around other people who make you feel welcome and compliment your growth? If you're a toxic player, why? Does it make you feel good to belittle rando's online cause your life sucks irl?
Obviously this is addressing players that go beyond your usual smack talk in games, this is about harassment and true toxicity.
We are all part of an extremely niche community, if you decide to be a toxic person what you are telling everybody around you is "I want this game to die and I'm so obsessed I'm pumping in thousands of hours because I'm a no-life."
Can people please try to cut toxic people from their teams or discord servers. Me and all of my friends actively avoid toxic people and its working out pretty good for us but if you dont have access to teams or discord servers that cull awful people (or you are new to competitive and wanna try it out for the first time) it is extremely easy to run into rude people and instantly get turned off.
Anyways you can disagree with this all you want but idk felt like making a thread and hearing if other people in the community have experienced what I have.
Take care out there in this pandemic. Love you all!
