What Makes A Toxic Community?

Overwatch, Counter-Strike: GO, DOTA2, League of Legends and even Rocket League. All of these games have one thing in common, but it’s critical praise. Toxicity within the communities is a something nearly every player will experience. We’ve all played a fair amount of matches peppered with insults, trolling and rage quitting. The problem isn’t exactly new, every single multiplayer game suffers from the same problem.

Its not about the age it's about the individual.

LexHazard793384d ago

Agree, it comes down to the individual. But I guess when you dont want the spotlight on you. You move the focus on others.

Are you like 40+ years old? Millenials make up vast majority of the gaming population.

Casting the blame on an entire generation of people is rather daft.

MRMagoo1233384d ago (Edited 3384d ago )

you only need to be 34 right now to not be a millennial actually ,the millenial age bracket is between 1982 and 2004 .......but it was a joke anyway I blame everything on millennials it's just for fun.

MRMagoo1233384d ago

technically tho "millennials make up the vast majority of gaming population" if that statement is true I guess I may be right because the majority of toxic players would be millennials 🤔 😂

@mrmagoo123,

Would you say that you're acting like a "millennial" right now?

Dude it more than that. You cant just cant blame the young, when even older gamers do it as well.

We can take this site as an example, do you blame millenials for all the trolling on this site? We are all guilty of it and some more than most. The same people claiming "millenials" are some of the worst on the site. Thanks for reading my comment.

The constant fanboy wars we get on here every single day. Things like that have made the gaming community as a whole very toxic.

Nintendo Switch 2 Drops Must-Play Free FPS You Can Enjoy From Today

In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.

The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.

As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.

Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.

Neonridr32d ago

you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.

that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.

repsahj32d ago

They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD

League of Legends Chat Bans Are Being Replaced With Something Much Worse

Starting Patch 26.5, severe toxicity gets you removed from games, not just muted. Riot says DMs will count next. League of Legends Patch 26.5 bans will get a level up. Riot Games has revealed plans to punish people who are abusive in chat with huge bans. Starting in Patch 26.5, gameplay bans will be given for players who are “severely disruptive” in comms, rather than just chat bans.
