So how’s everyone doing?

So far tonight I’ve had 3 games where I’ve had a team mate leave. Admittedly, this is the first time I think I’ve encountered this many leavers, but still, worth mentioning.

Then I got into a match with a guy who instantly started throwing abuse at me for picking Mercy, then he threw the match. I was doing fine btw, out healing the Ana no problem, but that didn’t matter. I was instantly the target for abuse/blame before the round even started. I quietly report him, coss who wants to respond to this sort of abuse?

Anyway, next round I get put with him again and the same story ensues, abuse + throwing but this time he decided to pick Mercy and sit in the spawn to spite me, so I pick Moira, then he switches off of Mercy so I go back to switch back to Mercy, but he returns to switch first, ect-ect…

Anyway, not a terribly fun experience, and totally unwarranted. If this guy had just played without being toxic we’d have probably had a fine match and won those games.

So, this is where we’re at now. Me playing Mercy is justification to throw the game and be abusive to me for some people. Even when I’m doing my job well and out healing Ana.

The obvious answer to this is “report and move on”, which is what I did. But, I am a forum frequenter and I see people making silly threads about pretty unimportant things. I think this warrants posting about, as it’s completely unjustifiable toxicity / trolling, ruined my gaming experience and all because I’m playing the hero I enjoy. It’s not on.
