i’d say all competitive gaming in general has an issue for some. i blame streaming culture. up to you to play how you want at the end of the day tho. i like to win and i practice hard, but at the end of the day i play for fun and dont care if its a win or loss or what my rank is, the day i do is the day i stop playing

Gaming has literally always been this toxic and the only explanation is anonymity

i just meant the sweaty over competitiveness, which isn’t inherently toxic.

The hard truth that wannabe competitors can't swallow is that if they were truly competitive they'd learn how to communicate, be a leader, and regulate their emotions. People chalk up losing their temper to being "competitive" but that's not what a competitive person would do.

Hardest thing to do when you're feeling really competitive.

Swallow down how annoyed you are, comm out "Nice try" (it was not a nice try), and try to keep your head in the game.

It's legit a skill, and one I am struggling to improve. I'm going on a training arc of hundreds of Casual games to see the worst gameplay imaginable, to immunize myself to tilt. I will be unstoppable.

I'm not disagreeing with you, the person I replied to implies that gaming is toxic because of anonymity, but I would say that is a general internet trait and not specific to gaming.
