    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.
