They need to fix false positives. 5 of my 6 team mates left the game. I was pretty much trapped alone in the spawn room so I did not leave. Ended up getting punished for it.
Yup, especially in Dota and Hots it just goes into flame war. People stop playing and start typing or shouting. How helpful!Most of the time negative attitudes and trash talking doesn't make the team step up it makes moral shit and the team lose quicker......
You are playing a video game, not preparing to be a killer. In war lack of empathy and dehumanizing certainly is a plus!If a mercy is being trash, I'm going to tell them, if a DD isn't killing, I'm going to tell them. I work too much to waste time coddling bad kids. All my trash talk is gameplay related, I don't attack them personally, I don't know em. But I know if they're playing like shit. I've been master past 3 seasons and gone as high as 3900. It's worked for me since day one. I play in a group of 3 and we maintain a 50%+ win rate. You can defy trash talk without demoralizing people. Look at the army.
Fuck that, I talk trash all the time. Makes the team step up. Don't punish me for thin skinned people who can't mute folks. Grief is a whole different matter and should be a bananable offense.

I'd like to see some examples of what people think is appropriate trash talking.

Some people don't have any grip on reality.Did someone just compare behavior in the army to behavior in overwatch?

What is the point with this? What does this give to someone who says it? Isn't the purpose of this to be genuinely an asshole?
Understandable in comp, quick play is for casuals thoughFuck that, I talk trash all the time. Makes the team step up. Don't punish me for thin skinned people who can't mute folks. Grief is a whole different matter and should be a bananable offense.
Michael Jordan routinely verbally abused and antagonized his teammates to 6 championships. Call it what you want, but Overwatch is an competitive game, trash talk is inevitable in competition. You don't see people in Hockey shutting down the fights cause some of the dudes don't have hands. What makes the competitive gaming scene so different.

when people like you are on my side, i purposely fuck the team up to see your reactionFuck that, I talk trash all the time. Makes the team step up. Don't punish me for thin skinned people who can't mute folks. Grief is a whole different matter and should be a bananable offense.
nofunallowed.jpegDepends on the context. If its just two friends ribbing each other, sure thats okay. But if its with someone you don't know, I would say yes. Context matters and the person you are playing with on the other side is a human being whose experiences might differ from yours greatly. I think its overall just a lot more respectful to be nice than to automatically resort to that kind of messing around.
A game of Overwatch without spamming "Hello" isn't a game of Overwatch that I want to play...
You're not being thick-skinned, you're being a dick if you direct that at your teammatesFuck that, I talk trash all the time. Makes the team step up. Don't punish me for thin skinned people who can't mute folks. Grief is a whole different matter and should be a bananable offense.
Trash talkers are usually the worst players.Fuck that, I talk trash all the time. Makes the team step up. Don't punish me for thin skinned people who can't mute folks. Grief is a whole different matter and should be a bananable offense.
I'll just say that you aren't part of competitive gaming scene, queueing into ranked play doesn't mean you are being competitive it's still casual/amateur level. In tournaments, in the pro gaming scene, let the organizers set their own rules.
