Overwatch does several interesting things to try to limit bad behavior. For example, there is no scoreboard at the end of a round like you'd typically find.
As a result, there's very little "git gud" trolling or toxic chats were a player will blame his whole team when losing. It's a much friendlier atmosphere overall, and seems to attract a more diverse crowd.
- Cyph0n 10y agoSorry, but that doesn't help with flaming. The losing team will find a way to criticize your play if they want to. You may not see that in the game now, but you will when ranked play is released. What it does help with is teamwork imo, as the scoreboard in other games like CS usually diverts attention and makes play focused on individuals.
- doktrin 10y agoIn my experience with Overwatch, it feels about as toxic as LoL when adjusted for match length and the ease of dropping out. There's a lot of "gg ez", "trash [hero]", "kill yourself" - at least in my games.
- fenomas 10y agoMaybe it varies by region (I'm playing in Asia) but I've played tons of Overwatch and seen no toxic chat whatsoever. (I've also seen very little positive chat. Most matches have no chat at all, or just some default "Hello!"s.)
- ryanlol 10y agoI've had the same experience playing on both US and EU, the chat gets very little use.
