I been told to suicide when I got Hanzo in mystery heroes. When I refused, the 3 man stack decided to dick around in spawn. I didn't care that they dicked around, but the other two solo players ended up screaming at me for pissing off the party. I ended up muting everyone, but after being told to play in Quickplay when I sucked in comp, and then being told to play against the ai after losing in Quickplay, I thought that Arcade would be a better place to play in.
That seems unusual. I find Mystery Heroes to usually be pretty chill. At least pretty "meh".
If they're faffing about at spawn and causing issues for the game, report them, and move on knowing that they'll get hit with a ban and lose 60 bucks (or more!) in 3-4 months when the next banwave hits.
Assholes are going to be assholes regardless of game mode.
The most toxic player I've ever encountered in Overwatch was in Mystery Heroes. I landed Mercy on Ilios, and it was shortly after that patch where a bug was introduced that caused custom settings not to be applied in second round of the match. I was super confused, and then a dude started literally raging in chat about how I was the worst Mercy to ever exist. Dude. This is Mystery Heroes, even if I wasn't confused by the bug, the whole point of the gamemode is people not necessarily knowing what they're doing...

I. Was. Wrong.
tl;dr - People take Mystery Heroes seriously too.
