I see people saying SCR is somehow uniquely toxic and that is what turns people off.

I think the clear issue is (as usual) a failure of Blizzard and Activision Blizzard to provide any active moderation (I assume someone has been banned after being repeatedly reported for hacking after months of abuse but I have no proof of that).

Even Minecraft anarchy servers have more moderation! In my experience those have a much higher % of attention seeking toxic ppl. BTW owned by Microsoft so I am sceptical any improvement will come on that front.

If you have spent more than 24 hours browsing the interwebs you should be used to seeing high level discussions like the examples below.

In conclusion if you spot a new person send them to the Coach Pupil League and they will have a blast!

Examples of toxicity: 1 image is from Today (took me 3 mins to get it cuz I had to update SCR), 1 image is from earlier pandemic times. See if you can tell which is which. Also 1 from Minecraft to compare (timeless).

Microsoft owned Mojang just released a Minecraft update this week that added exactly that: user reporting which can result in bans. Despite strong disagreement from the community.
But then again, Minecraft brings in a lot of money, SCR doesn't.

If players are looking for a solution then the answer is obviously community driven, SB in this case. My guess is players can have much more influence on the direction of that platform than they ever will on bnet lol.

True. But now with MS I don't think regular battlenet would be shut down. So moving ppl to SB would be harder.

What you have against potheads? In my experience they are great to play against. I am the worst person to play against on ladder and I've only smoked twice in my life.

BW got probably one of the nicest communities i participated in.
SF4>BW>SC2>SFV>HoN>Dota>CS>LoL
And games like LoL got a system to report "toxic" behaviour which didnt change anything.

What's sad about BW toxicity is the fact that the player base is most likely in there late 20's to late 30's.

Aengzi, a female BW streamer reported toxic viewers to the police and revealed when the police caught them, they were men in there 40's... disgusting.

Maybe the police should spend their time hunting real criminals. Lul.

I don't think you understand the extent to how bad these people get. Last year a BW streamers mother was murdered in cold blood because she would ignore him in chat and not play BW the way he wanted her to.

In less extreme cases, you have viewers finding where streamers live and stalking them all day and night. There was a stalker who truly believed he was dating the streamer and was turning more and more aggressive. There's a lot of fuckin weirdos out there.

Stalkers were a thing before SC2, BW or even the internet! A few bad apples do not represent the community. I think you are missing my point.

On a side note we all will be in our 40s one day hopefully... And still enjoying the beautiful game and people involved. ^_._^

Who cares about people being toxic online in a game? People have been that since the internet was established
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

Well let's just agree to disagree. I'm 1000% fine with teens and young 20's being toxic. It's just part of being young and competitive. But when you're in your 30's and 40's being toxic that shit is a no go for me.

Wait what? Which streamer's mother was murdered by one of their viewers? I've never heard of this so I'm definitely curious now.

I very well understand you handpicked a case to showcase how serious it is.

People are murdered every day for bogus stuff.

Yea but this murder happened at a time where there was less than 30k viewership on average in the whole BW category. Murderer had a reason specific to the game not for some bogus reason. Make matters worse there were community members making jokes and cheering his actions on.
