Toxic sweaty players are the bane of internet gaming. Can't beat each other so they go to smurfing. Fuck it up for everyone.
Yup. It's why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it's pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.
Check out Deep Rock Galactic. I've been playing for 5 years now and have never ran into a toxic player. The community is known for being pretty friendly.
Tried that one. Wasn't fun for me sadly
Its intense at harder difficulty and better weapons. The game shines at around Haz 4 & 5 missions.
I play with my wife, and it's over of the few games that has stuck around over the years.
But yeah, I get it.
I knoooooow, I've had like three people ask me to get that game lol
It's on the list!
ROCK! AND! STOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNE!!!!
Someone say ROCK AND STONE?!
Mushroom!
Its a shame in a way but me Im juste muting when possible. Dont want to depend on mate and I have none on gaming actually.
Ive even played again to counter strike source. So much fun in the old ways. No pressure. Trash talk to fun. You can change server by navigating on browser if unfriendly.
I don't want to be tilted when I play. And I report a lot too XD.
On LOL you can mute by default in settings. In ranked I mute as soon someone start raging and I don't care of the rank finally.
By this way, ignoring others, you can focus and improve your gameplay easier.
When its too much and I don't see non sense to mute in an online game, I stop play or go solo on others games. After all my steam library is full of unplayed games.
If one day I do an smurf, shame on me, it will be just to be toxic and don't care of the game and go trash others by revenge. I've no smurf yet and I'm an "old" gamer now.
I hate twitch/YouTube/esport for all the non sense they made theses lasts ten hear and how they influenced in a very bad way the gaming scene who were in a sense "free". Ty capitalism (I know its non sense but in a way )
I understand that, but muting toxic people on those team games defeats the purpose for me. The point is to communicate and work together, when you can't do that effectively because they're being shitheads then I'll take my ball and go home, so to speak. I have plenty of wonderful single player games and am lucky enough to have some friends for co-op games when I'm in the gaming mood.
You do you, but that technique just doesn't work for me, personally. I think it's good to get a different perspective like yours though, to each their own ☺️
Its true, but thanks ping's system exist and on the game I play is fully efficient. But in a sense I'm still like you. I've stopped OW definitively for example bc of what you said.
Me too. The only two games I have been playing in the last 2 years are insurgency, division 2 and payday 2. All PvE. Fuck competitive players. The little time I have available to play, I want to have fun.
You mean competitive games right? Cause it sounds like you should avoid competitive games and game modes. The competitiveness is the point on of competitive games. Which is fine, not everyone needs to enjoy every game genre/mode. Just don't think it's the players fault in your outlined situation.
I’m waiting for some age verification system so that us older gamers can enjoy playing games without having to compete when we don’t want to. I don’t need to feel elite, I need to feel an enjoyable gaming experience without feeling like I’m not doing something right.
I don’t want a guide to tell me the best build for my character, or tell me how much damage I’m doing. I want to figure shit out without having some kid berate me for not “taking it seriously”.
Bring back games for enjoyment, not achievement farming to brag. No one fucking cares how “good” you are at -any- game when you’re my age.
We need full time job only servers or something.

Why aren't you working in the video game industry? Missed your calling.
Hell yeah. I'd pay money to play with regular people. I fucking hate getting torn to pieces in game and verbally by 15-year-olds that have sunk 10,000 hours into a game. I'm a grown adult with minimal gaming time.
I really like games that have a separate "competitive" section of gameplay....then I avoid it like the plague. I'm a "filthy casual".
