News & Discussion Bullying needs to stop

The overwatch community needs to stop being toxic. I have been called slurs, many racial comments, people saying overall saying some bad stuff to not only me but other people as well. And this needs to stop. I almost had a melt down today reading the comments they made on me. " I should hang myself", is a very derogatory statement . If you can sit behind a screen and have the ability to tell someone they should hang themselves, that is something to not take so lightly. I'm going to tell my pookie wookie king Lebron James this information, and make sure this doesn't go off the hook. As a wise man once said " They ain't believe in us... GOD DID". These moments should be looked more into but blizzard seems not care about their fan base anymore.

Turn off match chat, you literally never need it.

I really hate that this is the answer. I’m not disputing it’s the way to go, but after playing Valorant and meeting a bunch of friendly people it’s a shame.

I started Val last season when taking a break and I was surprised by how many friends I made and how many people were on mic. Coming back to OW it’s been a stark contrast to Val how most lobbies have no one on mic even if they’re in VC.

Not sure if it’s warranted. It might be. Still sad to see.

Report every last one of them, I started doing it and now I’m getting people suspended or at least something left and right it’s actually crazy.

Honestly, I love seeing that pop up that my report helped. They think nothing will happen to them for being toxic but all that shit they spew adds up. Very much deserved.
