Gamers, what was the most toxic moment you've experienced in a online video game? For me, it has to be grifters on fall guys. Like step out the way and let me finish the course!

Mine would have to be from Pokemon unite. I was playing a standard match testing out a new pokemon that I wanted to learn. We lost the match and I went on with my day. Later I find a new comment on one of my YT vids trash talking me and telling me to quit the game from a player who was in that match
Ah yes, the toxicity in Unite. I'm so sorry about that. I had an experience like that in a ranked match except that this guy was trash talking me and the team over the mic lol. He said I was being bad mid lane (I was playing Garchomp at the time) even though I outperformed him? But he cursed us out
For me it was in dota 2, one of my teammates had voice on and as soon as they found out I was a woman they started literally SCREAMING at me, calling me a c*nt and similar horrible things. 🙃
Not too bad but the only one I can think of, there was a hidden item and someone was blocking me from getting to it and demanding my armor in order for me to get it. Unfortunately for him I was on an ironman profile and I also had a warp to right above the spot. I switched servers and blocked him.
Personally nothing beats old CoD lobbies
But in recent times in games like OW2 where players on your team just go out of their way to lose the match or leave. Hate being hard stuck in ranks because of teammates not playing
That's nothing compared to the most vile racist/sexist/down right disrespectful stuff being said in the earlier CoD games when voice chat became a thing.
I'm sure it's still bad but I tend to mute voice chats in mp games now unless it's with all friends.
I play valorant comp and dare to use the voicechat as a woman, do I need to say more? 😅 Surprisingly enough only 1 grape-threat in the hundreds and hundreds of hours playing tho, usually it's just tamer sexism
There’s so much. COD lobbies, don’t even have to say there. Played ESO as a female elf and was relentlessly bullied and had lots of lewd comments. Minecraft(crazy I know) got targeted by a group of players every time I logged on and was killed or griefed. There’s so much more lmao
Was on both sides of this, but spawn killing on Nuketown. Making the game almost unplayable for the other team. Like we knew what line not to cross so that they'd continue spawning there. Then, we/they would have traps set up if they were to spawn in the respawn behind us. It was awful and glorious
the one that stood out to me the most was i got called slurs over fisch on roblox for catching something LMFAO it was just so ridiculous it stuck with me
In SWG, while flagged for PvP, I was followed all the way into the back of a cantina where you can un-flag, and killed. I was nowhere near a battle or a base that was up for the taking. There's was no point - no loot to get, no badge or achievement to gain by killing me. Wholly unnecessary
For me was in FFXIV, people will spend time and effort in spawning S rank hunts and actually do call outs so others and share in the spoils. And you always get that ONE asshole who pulls before everyone else has a chance to arrive. Completely ruining spawners hard work.
I have a few (all final fantasy 14). But the main one that annoyed me was a dude queued for a dungeon, tried to pull to much because he was in a rush for a hockey game. We wiped because of it and then he disconnected
It's possible he was doing his daily roulette and got too close to hockey game time, but like... Plan better? Say f one day so you can enjoy the game fully, or be okay missing some of the game to not screw over the party by rushing cause bad planning...idk. lol
He was also the tank

So, I annihilated him and replayed him the favor
Nothing specific, just... Mario Kart. In general.
Overwatch lol
