Isn’t that true of every character though? Someone can totally suck at Mercy or Reinhardt too. Obviously if you suck, I don’t want to play with you, and it doesn’t matter who your main is.

It is abuse of the reporting system to report players who choose to only play one hero even if they suck at it.

But I’m inherently biased against people who obsess over rank play to the point where they abuse the reporting mechanic.

It’s a sad commentary on the state of internet-based media criticism that I was fully expecting this list to be ordered in a totally controversial way, like declaring San Andreas to be the best GTA of all time, or whatever. Good on you for not going down that path, Zack.

Can we discuss the active toxicity of these players versus the phantom passive toxicity you’re implying is present?

For all those a**holes who keeps telling people how to play the game.

Except this isnt in Ranked/Comp mode, this is in quickplay and arcade modes where the goal is to have fun.

A person doesn’t pick Widow to throw the game, unless that’s some deep meta shit going on intended to give Widows an even worse black eye.

I thought I might have been missing out by not getting Overwatch, but apparently not.

The easiest people to blame are the snipers, since they’re by a rule disengaged from the objective.

You guys keep saying that it only matters in higher levels of competitive play, but how exactly would someone who isn’t good with a particular character and only uses that character get to those higher ranks to begin with? Maybe it’s an issue of the game not rewarding the right things that Blizzard should address?

That may be true, but it’s also unfair to put that only on Widow or Hanzo and ignore the people who are bad at any other role.

It will be obvious to YOU. As I said: The average person doesn’t have a clue as to what’s going on. It’s not obvious to them.

Not griefing, throwing the game, cheating, or actually being toxic. For playing the way you want.

Random people online are not your friends, they are fellow paying customers.

You need to be getting picks at a pretty high rate to be useful on widow and that just usually isn’t the case.

I do this all the time. If there are assholes in a session, I’ll immediately pull out my Progen Tyrus, let them blow that up a few times, and see how they like the bill.

Maining a hero in Overwatch is like maining Rock in Rochambeau.

There’s something equally infantile and absurd for people instantly abusing report mechanics because other players won’t cow to your whims.

Not everyone shares your mentality of playing a game meant for entertainment like a job...
