I have really had enough from how much toxic is my server, I play on Middle East server. I encounter daily toxic and bad behavior players whether they are in my team or the opponent team. Here are some explains:
*A player will demand/order you to change your character or to heal them in the most rudest way. Or they will call you in a dirty names in voice or text.
*A player will pin point another teammate and shout to show our opponent team how bad our teammate is by showing how much they kill and die. (This is much worse to make fun of that player also to tell the enemy team that we have a weak player.)
Nearly All games whether my team or opponent team, whenever the team win they will write “Ez” to refer as this is an Easy match when in fact we put so much effort and tried hard to win. It is super annoying and make the game not friendly. Or they will use the word “Braa” as it means GET OUT.
*I have also seen a Reinhard who was super lucky with heal who constantly spamming voice line “Come Here”, will kill us and then shout out with | as way for him to flip us off. it was just unbelievable and inconvenience match that I had to play different game.
Hear me out, the feature to “Mute” Players is certainly amazing, but not enough to stop these people, especially they wouldn’t know if they got muted or not by you. I am suggestion to add a text/function to muting a player.
For example, a toxic player demanded me or another player to switch character or used bad word or spamming voice line or after the match ended the wrote Ez or Braa. I would simply go to the player and “Mute” them. Then a message will appear to that player In bold saying "You have been muted by a player indefinitely or for 2 weeks (whether to mention that player name or just say a player like the way endorsement work) . The point here is to tell that bad behavior player that some people chose to stop receiving any communication with them. Furthermore, when a new game start, that bad player should be able to see people who muted him whether as in the teammate list or enemy list…
Can you imagine when those people who say Ez to provoke you at the end of the game then leave then they receive a message from the system saying You have been muted by a player indefinitely . It will hit them pretty hard and they may consider to watch what they write. Make sure the person who got muted can see who mute them if they pull teammate and enemy name list.
It will also look funny when someone start to make fun of their teammate damage and death then he receive in game text “You have been muted”. I know I would mute someone from the enemy team who makes fun of their teammate to show them that we do not care.
Please reconsider this solution a player should be notified if they got muted and the person who mute them will always appear with a special red X icon or anything indicated that person intentionally decided to stop communication. Then a message from the system after that bad player receive over 10 mute to tell them to act nice.
Or maybe the mute option can be reset with season end if Overwatch wants people to communicate… I am just saying I am tired of those kids who ruin game experience.
The reason why I suggested the mute message should be appeared to the other person because I get offended so many times for no valid reasons, yelling calling me names or that if I dont do what they want they will disturb the game. I always ended up responding with offensive words because they know I am reading what they say or they would make fun of me in the team, but with what I suggested above if one person about to start a fight getting them mute and that message would show to them will prevent fight back and would slam a hammer to that toxic player… I hope I have deliver my point.
Thank you
