Eh, my opinion is that games should be far more stricter. It's really not fun when every match devolves into toxicity

I think you can allow for a reasonable level of trash talk. Calling someone "noob" is fine imo. as it remains in the game, rather than getting personal.

I'm more shocked people actually use "noob" still. It's basically antiquated at this point and incredibly mild.

Gamers need to be stricter with themselves if they have more than 2 brain cells. If a space is overly toxic I will just leave. There's too much competition for my attention, and I dont enjoy getting spat on when im losing.

If enough people decide theyre not willing to deal with it any more, there goes your casual player base, thats longer queue times and more aggressive microtransactions as they desperately milk the whales before the ship sinks.

They should think about it for a moment before they lash out at people.
