Top ones I know of these days are siege, but some people have made a case that dead by daylight is pretty bad as well. Like if any of you remember the Xbox 360 Halo days. I think those would pass for toxic today. What do you guys think? Is the most toxic community out there in gaming?

Marvel Rivals, you hardly ever hear people talk shit to the opposing team but everyone seems to LOVE talking shit to their own teammates any chance they get.

To me, trash talking opponents isn’t really toxic, it’s part of the fun of competitive game modes, but trash talking teammates in a game that stresses team work? Why do you think that helps???

I was really surprised how rivals got so toxic. Are you gonna yell at some cild playing a game that is geard towards children? Pathetic. I got yelled at as a solo healer with a team full of dps. I got yelled at for not having a lot of kills as tank. People start throwing games if they don't like something. Ranked is the only game mode that is playable because of the bot matches. Ranked is also ass because it's pretty easy to rank up, it's less about skill and more about putting hours in. They have such a weird ranking system. People think they are hot shit because they are diamond or gm. But in overwatch terms, being diamond would be gold or silver.

People are going to yell at you no matter what you do, and it’s almost always dps insta-lockers blaming everyone else. I main healers and I can get 25k+ healing in a game but dps will still yell at me for not getting enough kills, as if that isn’t their job.
