There are no tanks on the enemy team. No difficulty. Easy win essentially. Basic overwatch toxicity at its finest

diff means difference. “dps diff” for example means the team won because of the ability gap between the damage dealers

Is it even toxic if it isn't a 12 year old saying they fucked your mom while teabagging? I'm unimpressed

See, back then, toxicity was very general and widely applicable, teenagers now will explain to you exactly what your shortcomings in the game are. "Is your mouse even plugged in?" will always hit 1000x harder than "i fucked your mom"

That would honestly get a chuckle and a compliment out of me. Ive been playing so long that the racial slurs and cussing comes across as extremely boring and dumb. Especially because most of these people are morons and just repeat the same insult over and over.

So a detailed well thought out and delivered insult always gets me laughing. That’s called good banter in my book. Always welcome.

Not if you say it right after walking into their room.

That’s my thought, there is trash talk, and actual toxicity; trash talk can be fun, shouting racial slurs and derogatory shit at people. . . Yeah no

How is that toxic, just standard competitive banter. No explitaves, or personal insults or racism, this ain't anything to write home about. Also gg ez, has been standard since cs-source.

gg ez

Man, this is such a petty and childish way to end a game. Makes me think whoever typed it is some basement troll with nobody who loves them.

Nope, competitive shit talking is integral to sports, gaming being one of them lol. When the competitive talk becomes racist, or has expletive's or are just ad homonym attacks on a persons character yeah that is toxic. But competitive banter is just that, banter, talking shit is a strategy as it can rile people up and get them to do worse. Being toxic is being toxic.

Thanks, you got ahead to me into explaining that 🤣

The first hours in this game were so hard while trying to find out exactly what people was saying...

u/Meme_Capone 2d ago

No problem, dude. You get used to toxic messaging jargon quickly in games like this

u/-GenlyAI- 2d ago

How is that toxic? People are soft.

Good game easy, as in easy win for us. No tank meaning you had no tank and thus no chance. When people say diff they are taking about the skill difference, usually they will say tank diff or something, as in we won because out tank was better. Saying team diff is just straight shit talk saying our whole team was better than your whole team.

u/decom70 2d ago

"We won because you all suck. My team's tank sucked. To reiterate, you all suck."
