A new character was released for a game I play (Celeste on Deadlock) and someone wanted to talk about whether they were trans or not which attracted… attention. So, I just used the thread as a list of people to block and it just felt pretty great to take out the trash, as it were.

Having switched over from DoTA I was trying to find a MOBA we could play together but had trouble with the toxicity. I love the complex and competitive nature of those kinds of games, but the toxicity that comes along with it doesn’t sit with me as easily anymore. I just want to play collaboratively with a group, I want both teams to be interested in a good match and, at most, good spirited jabs in the chat.
The matchmaking disparity was there when I played as well, but I wasn’t sure if they made changes. If you’re still sticking with it it might be a good reason to try and get back into it a little
I think it would be prudent to also mention the reporting system in the game: if someone is reported for abusive behaviour, they get a chat ban for varying lengths depending on how repeat their offence is as well as being placed in a low priority cue with the other toxic peeps. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard happens, haven’t experienced it myself.
