There's nothing like toxic players to make me want to NOT play, jfc
I think I'm gonna disable my lord icon, it's pretty, but not worth it when people go "hOw arE YoU loRd lmao u suck" hah, like. I play a lot! That doesn't mean that I'm good!
Also I got called a "loud-mouth" by someone today for?? Making a silver fox joke about Magneto, I think? Gamers are fucking weird, man 🤣
turn off all chat, tbh. it's not necessary to win and no amount of good games with great comms is worth the onslaught of shit you have to trudge through. (source: over 2000 hours of overwatch and 180 in rivals)
i always play rivals with a friend and we climbed to gm, nearly celestial (one win away! 😭) without joining chat. i still play overwatch comp solo and it's fine. and a lot less stressful without some loser shrieking slurs in your ear
Yeah, I usually mute people in voice who are annoying 🤣 I've not muted the chat yet, but I have considered it a few times.
And ranking with a friend is sooo much better than solo! I'm only gold 1/plat 3, I can def feel that hero shooters are a whole different thing than the games I usually play 😆
people are so mean lmao i was called a mutt and my husband is on gm lobby now and people are so shitty all the time rip
I'm sorry :( it's always shitty, no matter the rank. people say the vibes get better as you climb but I've heard some of the worst shit in my life in high elo overwatch games. gross
Mar 10, 2025 13:55yeah ive seen it the other way around tbh. games get higher quality for sure, but people are nicer on bronze/silver
i find marvel rivals is easier to solo queue without voice chat than overwatch tbh, but I am on console so people rarely type in chat
hello fellow console warrior 🤝 OW is easier for me solo bc of role queue, so I can actually play the role I want instead of filling tank because everyone wants to be a pew pew shooty boy
everyone wants to play dps so bad aaaa, though strategist seems to be rising in popularity as well
i just started playing dps and am having such a good time but its so hard to stay dps the entire game bc I care about team balance/comop too much!!!
