Overwatch?
R6?
LoL?
CSGO?
CoD?

Imo, it’s probably csgo.

I haven’t really played much of CSGO so I can’t go off of personal experience but I’ve watched it a good bit on Twitch. Its filled with incredibly toxic people. Trolls, hackers, racists, you name it, it’s there. Now a lot of shooters have all of the above but not nearly as frequent.

R6 community can be super toxic to new players from what I’ve experienced/seen. Not sure how it is in higher elo but lower elo is straight up cancer majority of the time.

Haven’t played a lot of LoL but I’ve heard it referred to as the most toxic gaming community plenty of times. And I’ve seen a bunch of pics of toxic chats, and i gotta say that some of the insults are pretty creative. I would pick it as #1, but the lack of voice chat makes it less toxic to me.

OW toxicity wasn’t so bad for me (consolelol), occasional racial slur here and there, but it was filled with smurfs. PC is a different story. Seen gm/top 500 level streamers literally quit playing because of the constant throwers and trolls. OW is one of those games that gets more toxic the higher your rating gets.

CoD can be pretty toxic at times but the toxicity isn’t that frequent. Maybe because most people don’t use mics or they’re in a party chat/discord, not sure. Definitely not what it used to be back in the og xbox360 days.


So which game do you think has the most toxic community attached to it?

Counter Strike has always had a very elitist player base, and I'm sure not much has changed with GO.

Siege has a special place in the toxicity rankings because getting TKd at the beginning of a round typically results in a ruined match. Nothing worse than getting blasted and then getting a 30 minute timeout for trying to retaliate the next round. One of my only gripes about that game.

Didn't counter strike invent swatting?

I'll go with that one

League is by far the most toxic community consistently.

CS:GO has spinbot issues but if you can at least get into high nova the only thing you really have to deal with is the occasional tryhard.

League is just a ticking timebomb to see who makes the first mistake so the flame wars can begin.

I've played R6 exclusively since launch. I've never loved and hated something like I do this shitty, amazing game.

Madden-Ultimate Team mode



The toxicity has toned down a bit since the mass shooting last year, but the fact that it took a mass shooting to get some of these people to calm the frick down is enough to put this community in this category.

you nubs have never played the game.

DOTA2.

With that being said, as toxic as it can be. You do at times find a team of 5 random people have get along well and manage to have a blast.

I've always heard it was League of Legends. I'll go with that one just because how much I've heard it sucks compared to everything else.

Never really had a problem with counter-strike. I never really played with ranDUMBS on CoD so never ran into an issue there.
