The most toxic communities I know of are the Genshin community, Payday 2, FFXIV and source games communities in general.

    Easily Rocket League. It’s always been toxic but it’s been much worse since becoming free to play.

    • Rage quitting
    • Malicious compliance (AFK, accidental own-goals)
    • Team mates playing for the opposing team entire games
    • Passive aggressive quick chats
    • Overtly aggressive free-form chats (being chastised over every tiny mistake)

    The game’s competitive ranking systems makes it so each win and loss matters, and people often take their vitriol out on their own team before looking inwards.

      I turned the chat off a long time ago. Instantly made the game better. I don’t need a kid to show off his NSFW vocabulary.
