A new study has found that 70 percent of gamers avoid certain games because of ‘toxic communities’.
Big part of the reason why I enjoy cooperative games nowadays like Risk of Rain 2, Helldivers, Deep Rock Galactic, etc.
You can occasionally come across a toxic person, but the broader communities in said games are amazing on the whole.
I avoid any fast-paced competitive game designed to appeal to 13 year olds with no attention spans and inferiority complexes.
Absolutely. I enjoyed playing a bit of Smite at one point in time (mostly that big open area map) and some Heroes of the Storm, but I’m not a big MOBA guy. Decided one day to give League of Legends a try, why the hell not ya know?
I have never been called a ‘fucking fag’ and been told to kill myself more times in a 5 minutes period of time in the entirety of my 40 years on this flying shitball of a planet. Not in public school, not on Xbox Live while playing Halo, not from my abusive family, never.
Uninstalled that shit 10 mins later and went back to TF2 where I get called that only once an hour.
That’s why I liked hots, the capability to block chat from the start and for everyone.
It’s not really a problem in non-competitive modes, as people usually just use on-map alerts.
