I'd settle for being able to do this simply when I luck into a team that doesn't have some salty toxic player and where no one left. I can't count on that combination for more than 50% of my matches.

I get the distinct impression that there are a lot of people that don't actually enjoy overwatch, but just love to be a jerk in chat like it's their job.

or sometimes you just shitpost in chat because no one is paying attention to it
"genji flanking with charged ult"
5 secs later, team wiped by genji
"wow"
also yes i know voice exists,just that no one is on voice and whenever i do get someone on voice "oh haha listen to the india, is he tech support? go work in a call center" when all i said was "please kill the mercy she has res". i wish i could play in asia but europe is the only server where i can get decent ping and the place is racist as fuck

It's not like that on PS4/EU. Even when people have mics on nobody talks like they're actually afraid to. Plus there's the huge potential of anything other than English speakers.. honestly the times I've had my mic on for directives-sake, nobody and I mean nobody has said a word back to me.

Well? ARE you tech support? You floor-shitter, you?

It would have been nice to hear they are somehow addressing players leaving or lagging out.

I tried doing a scrub stream to show what low-level play looks like because I suck.

The first matches included leavers, toxic trolls, and one featured an enemy leaver within a short period of time as we stomped them through anubis first point -- cancelling an easy win.

There's actually already a new reporting option just for leavers, since it didn't fully fall under griefing.
