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.

millennials

oh snap

[Lennoxb63]

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

[LexHazard79]

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

[Pandamobile]

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.

[MRMagoo123]

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.

[MRMagoo123]

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 🤔 😂

[Pandamobile]

wow great joke

[LexHazard79]

@mrmagoo123,

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

[LexHazard79]

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.

[Fist4achin]

The cheaters.

[Angeljuice]

MURCANS

[Deadpooled]

The EU? hehe...

[2pacalypsenow]

Hard being humble when you're the best..

[LexHazard79]

Wanker, Lol...

Where are you from?

[TXIDarkAvenger]

A big part of it is ranked. I play a majority of the competitive games you listed and that's where you see the worst in people LOL.

[CrimsonWing69]

Radioactive waste?

[Aenea]

Ehmm, you might want to eat better!

[slate91]

N4G fanboys.

[game4funz]

People who cant agree to disagree, name-calling, inability to put yourself in someone's shoes and superiority complex.

[OB1Biker]

Baked beans

[Deadpooled]

Fanboys false-worshipping their favourite game playing box of plastic, metal and silicon, connected to their TV. And the ones bragging about how their box has 240fps overclocked intel i7 and GTX-whatever comparing gameplay from it to optimised gameplay from a box called a 'console'.

[opinionated]

Radiation.

[DillyDilly]

If we can include sites here n4g is one followed by IMDB being another

[SojournUK]

People who only choose to buy one brand of console.

[Kiwi66]

No, as there are some level headed people who only have one console who don't downplay what other people have its a minority who spew hate & bs

[mocaak]

Teamwork, all of these games are very dependent on teamwork.

[TheColbertinator]

Sony. Period.

[Last_Boss]

Overhype , and an inherit belief in only one type of media.
