One of the most disheartening things about online play are how truly horrible most people are.
Nobody in Overwatch, particularly, wants to take the time to be nice to someone, show them how to play a character, give them advice, tell them what not to do, etc. People just want to be dicks, passive-aggressive, and any other assortment of nasty adjectives.
Why are people like this? Why can't people be kind to one another?
No one has ever been nice to me why the fuck should I be nice to anyone else?
Take your fucking lumps
Adam Johnson
>Why can't people be kind to one another? Because they're children. Literally children. Either emotionally stunted, or 12-22-year-olds. But you know what? They'll grow out of it. Everybody does eventually.
Oliver Taylor
Why do people complain about the toxicity of overwatch's community?
Whenever I play, fucking nobody even talks.
Mason Miller
low self esteem they need to win to feel good about themselves because they have nothing else, and if they identify you as the person who stopped them winning, they take it out on you. they're not interested in helping you get better, they want you to feel as awful as they do
Wyatt Rivera
Look out. Big man coming through.
Grayson Turner
>play a game in which 2 teams have to kill each other to win >teamwork is necessary to succeed GEE I DUNNO MATE IT'S LIKE THE GAME WANTS YOU TO BE AGGRESSIVE AND COMPETITIVE OR SOME SHIT
Sebastian Barnes
>people retarded enough to play a game as shitty as Overwatch are trash
Who could've guessed
Grayson Stewart
I'm sure you're a super nice guy op c:
Landon Anderson
I just play Mystery Heroes.
Bentley Gonzalez
Yeah, the most chat I get out of 5 games is one person saying "gg ez" and nobody replying because nobody takes the bait anymore.
Although I do get a fair amount of people who use the chat wheel I guess
Kayden Bailey
and the next person you're an asshole too says: No one has ever been nice to me why the fuck should I be nice to anyone else?
Take your fucking lumps
desu with an attitude like that, you deserve everything you get
Justin Wood
Is this your first day on earth? Fucking faggot.
Luke Collins
unironically the most fun mode
Asher Bennett
this and also please kill yourself as soon as possible
Jason Gonzalez
>playing overwatch >not being a B A D A S S and playing Bloodborne with nice people
Caleb Rodriguez
yo user, i don't know if it would help you (as im not an expert on all of the characters) but im more then willing to play with / help randies. lemme know if you wanna play a couple games sometime and ill impart what knowledge i can!
Jaxson Watson
Even if they are """"toxic"""" It's usually so over the top that you can't take it seriously. I'm just glad that when some dude is fucking around the games end pretty quickly.
Ayden Phillips
Because if you gg after pooping on some snowflakes you're a toxic player. >we live in a world where gg after a game is now poor sportsmanship because some sissies can't handle losing
David Long
>You should just let the whole world cuck you and do nothing about it :) :) :)
Fuck off queer.
Noah Green
what are you doing about it? nothing but crying about how no one is nice to you, then continuing it so that more people can be assholes to you are you retarded?
Hunter Jenkins
You get fucked over until you learn how to fuck over other people. Thats how the world works.
Jacob Sanders
Same reason with every other different people shittalking groups other then them
What you can do is mute them and play with your friends or a group. Other then that, random strangers will scream or insult you because they can.
Gabriel Lee
Either play with friends or play on console, its that simple
Parker Cox
Because if you're not perfect at the game, which by you're attitude you're clearly not, you fucking shitter. Then, you're trash and a literal waste of space, and should be treated as such for the sake of negative reinforcement. It's a team game and if someone isn't pulling their weight, 5v6 is a massive disadvantage and it's all your fucking fault. It should be common courtesy to harass them til they stop being so fucking shit at a videogame made for fun. If I ever find you on my team I will throw the match and report you. Kill yourself.
Brandon Smith
see lmao get some self esteem, you fucking child
Gavin Wilson
>Overwatch
Lucas Powell
Because human nature. People are assholes, it's just how it is.
Ryan Morgan
>people tend to get frustrated when the enemy team rubs in a loss right afterwards
Woooow
Mason Davis
what a sad existence
Asher Martin
There's no point in being nice in Overwatch. If you are playing competitive and are playing like shit or making poor hero choices then you deserve everything you get.
All it takes is an hour in quickplay with any hero of your choice to learn to play them sufficiently. It's not really a meme when people say overwatch is a REALLY simple game. It is, and that's why people get so angry about it. After a long days work or school and dealing with retards all day, they get to come home, log in and guess what? Deal with more retards.
Brandon Wright
i suspect that some part of this articles were written by a cat. i detect some cat type writing.
Nicholas Ross
But if you shit on them then it wasnt a good game was it. Typing gg after a crushing victory is purposefully inflammatory and you know it
Adam Smith
THIS POST RIGHT HERE OP!!! IF YOU ARE ON PC LOOK HERE!!!
Benjamin Morris
interesting user, considering i don't fuck anyone over and am respected in my community for it, leading to people not wanting to fuck me over. are you sure that's how the world works?
Isaac Peterson
>what are youtube video tutorials
Liam King
Helping and teaching new players isn't fun, and they have to deal with the same stubborn mentality from them as well. Why would they waste their time trying to teach someone who probably wouldn't listen?
Why would they slow down their good time to help you?
It's kinda shitty, sure. But it's also understandable. Don't like it, don't play then. I don't.
Ethan Mitchell
And these are the same guys that go "lol brah It's just a game why are you getting so upset" after having a bad game.
Julian Edwards
Cool arm chair pyschology bro. Now tell me how I want to fuck my mom
Jackson Lewis
No community.
You join a random game and end up on a team with 5 people and against 6 people. After the match you'll never ever see these people again. So no one cares about how they act to anyone because they'll never see them after the match.
Josiah Jenkins
Fuck you
Juan Long
The community of you, a cleenxed box and a penny aint much
Carter Ramirez

Levi Scott
Because only a douche would pay for a cynical TF2 Clone
Connor Foster
xD!
Jack Lewis
It was a good game. Not my fault man children take everything personally and let a video game determine their self worth. I don't even talk in all chat except to gg
Nathan Peterson
Who cares?
Post Mei.
Wyatt Rivera
if it was a close game then i can appreciate a gg in chat, but if they beat us in like 3 minutes and someones drops a gg then its quite obvious theyre just trying to be a cunt
Colton Morgan
there's not much mei yuri worth posting sadly
Jonathan Lewis

Gabriel Edwards
I just thought I had the makings of a dank copypasta when writing that post off the top of my head. Didn't go so well. I just think that if you get mad at a videogame, you should stop playing the videogame.
Nathan Smith
Shut the fuck up, reddit.
Brody Ortiz
>Play For Honor. >Team constantly runs away and leaves me to get fucked 4 on 1 >Tell them to stop throwing the game and get into the fight >Reported for griefing, enjoy your ban.
I didn't get banned, but I uninstalled. Thin skinned fags are basically making multiplayer games unplayable. "Any and all criticism is toxic behavior!" Eat my dick.
Daniel Gomez
I've been playing competitive matches (Diamond MMR) and everyone's been pretty nice so far. I even messed up severely, but our team still kept a positive attitude and won the match in the end.
Maybe it's Plat and lower that are absolute toxic shit heads
Angel Nguyen

Parker Collins
It wasnt bad, but its gotta be more vague, also more caps and retarded arguments. Everything you said is true, which is the problem. Also you didnt sound mad enough
Lucas Fisher

Elijah Sanders
I'd gladly fight on your side in AI matches
Dominic Moore
Master and Grandmaster games seem really friendly, i wish i was that good at video games
Jaxson Morales
No, I'm in plat and everyone is generally nice. People get annoyed sure but even the games where we had a griefer on our team everyone moved on after a bit banter.
Nathan Lopez

Matthew Bailey
Please stop any time.
Easton Carter
>That fag who commits to every single fight 100% and doesn't know when to fold 'em
Alexander Morgan
I used to be nice, telling people I loved them at the start of the match. Now I'm all shitty...
I shall try being nice again!
Dylan Reed
Shitter here. It's Gold and Silver that's the problem. Seriously people in there will repeatedly harass one player just to be a cunt, even if they're playing decently.
Anthony Lewis

Dylan Ramirez
thanks i will
Brody Watson
get over it pussy
Jacob Perez

Justin Flores
Because emotions are for fags. I'm not playing to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I'm here to score points. And I need you to be less shitty at the game, or get off my team. Just because someone isn't holding your hand and pointing out that fire is hot doesn't mean they aren't giving you feedback; either you get the hint and change the behavior that people are being mean at you for, or you go cry somewhere else.
You try to chastise me for calling you bad words when you're out here ruining my experience? Get fucked.
Mason Scott
Honestly, the nature of the genre encourages it. You're thrown into a game with 5 faceless strangers and then expected to work as a unit. The feeling of powerlessness when you perceive a teammate to be under-performing can be very frustrating. Theoretically, putting the blame on your team should protect your own ego and allow you to continue playing at your best. In practice, of course, this is never the case. Basically, if you are not in the specific frame of mind where you are willing to recognize your failings but not let them overwhelm you and play to win while also accepting that sometimes this will be impossible- it can become very easy to lose your composure.
Jayden King
I want to taste Mei's honey!
Caleb Rogers
Honestly, Nintendo got it right in not letting people have voice chat over Splatoon.
Isaac Diaz
that was all the mei i had anyway, bye bye
Jace James
stop being a pussy. its a game about killing people not barbie's adventure
Zachary Howard
I'm always nice to people when healing
Parker Watson
dunno, im always nice to people because i like being team mom
Owen Lewis

Jason Jackson
I do this all the time whenever I play FFXIV though.
Charles King
Honestly, it's white knight faggots like you who are cancer. You're always bitching about the community or complaining about getting your feelings hurt. Shut the fuck up, get good and stop being a over-sensitive faggot
Carter Cruz
That's weird, I play in comp at early diamond and people are pretty chatty. What's your rank?
Gavin Hughes
Or just mute that shit and pump up some music
Jose Kelly
>show them how to play a character
you literally only need to play a character for 3 games until you've learned everything there is to know. All to do after that is improve your aim.
Logan Campbell
how overhyped is this game?
i cant play at night without running into a stack
Adrian Murphy
>he doesn't mute and ignore all in-game chat
Robert Howard
No it's not you fucking retards, it's courtesy and good sportsmanship, you shake hands after every game of whatever sport you're playing because there's no hard feelings win or loss because that's what decent human beings do
Gavin Nelson
Theres a big fucking difference between shaking someones hand in person, and typing gg in a chat anonymously
Jaxon Adams
Because games don't have servers any more.
"matchmaking" encourages being a cunt because you're not joining a community when you play, you're just jumping into a set match with other people, and will then leave when the match is over.
As a result, there is no need or desire to be on good terms with the people there because you'll never see them again and the focus is on winning, not playing.
Wyatt Peterson
>Getting curbstomped in battle >A couple teammates leave >Enemy team BMing after kills >Game is over under 2 mins >"gg"
Anthony Phillips
The irony in how spot on this is to current times is amazing.
Nicholas Ross
This, im sure there are people who say gg in chat and mean it, and arent trying to be inflammatory, but the vast majority are just trying to be cunts. If you really wanted to convey that you enjoyed playing youd actually type your shit out and make an attempt to come off as human
Jeremiah Martinez
overwatch seems like a game only gays/mentally ill people would play anyway. idc
Jack Rogers
Awww look at the little baby bitch who wants everyone to play nice in the sandbox!
If overmeme is too hostile for you, perhaps you should go back to minecraft or gmod on a rule heavy server! Hmm? That sound like fun? Gmod? Minecraft? Hmm?
Lucas Hall
>all these Redditors whining about mean words on a video game demanding that they be handholded by other people What the fuck happened to this board

a good minecraft server is always fun user

Colton Wilson
Children don't like conflict. They want their happy marshmallow land where everyone can be happy. They want a box of hugs and their bottles, ya know.
