I've long since blocked HexBear , but will occasionally click the "show me anyway" button just to validate that decision. I'm somehow still surprised by the advanced stage brainrot every time.

almost, it's missing the obnoxious reaction image, though helpfully another user supplied that in a reply.

Those are a bunch of terms I don't know. Go enjoy whatever that is I suppose. Or not, that's also fine.

Its a competitive game, it's going to be free 2 play, so it's naturally going to attract all kinds of people, including the heated, toxic, and as you put it hard-R league players. It comes with the territory of playing a competitive PvP only game. Report them, laugh at their smooth brains, mute them, and move on.

I've been playing quite a bit since May, and I've encountered way more friendly people in voice comms than not. Most matches are silent with people only using the ping system/wheel the game has baked in. About 1/2 of my losses are hit with a "gg ez" in text chat though. I respond along the lines of congrats bro, you're better than me at a closed beta testing game with an NDA. 😂

Running cover for them though.....Cmon now....thats a huge stretch....

I've had far less obnoxious people in deadlock compared to Dota. There was some smart decisions to have fewer defined "roles" and less emphasis on having one or a few players pop off with all the resources.

The game itself is so solid, has good balance, the movement and abilities are fun... It's good. Some people are going to get annoying and sweaty in a comparative snowbally team game. I like to thank them for making my games a win-win. Either I get to win the game, or my obnoxious teammate gets to lose.

I too hate the average g*mer but I'm not going to let them steal my enjoyment.
