DRG is in a class of its own for a cool playerbase.
I’ve had the opposite experiences with Deep Rock Galactic, I think mostly because there’s no enemy team, but I’ve also had good experiences with Deadlock (valves new moba). Of course there’s still toxic shitheads in Deadlock, but they are few. I think this is because of how bans work; you’ll still be able to play the game, but depending on why you were “banned” you won’t have certain features. Like if you were reported for abusive text or voice chat, you won’t be able to use text or voice chat, only the in-game pings (which are pretty good IMO). Similar with other reports, but they aren’t exactly relevant.

Deadlock isn’t as bad but god, the amount of racist, bigoted, and straight up fucked up things people have said are tiring and enough for me to never want to be on a mic
There’s only so many times you bother listening to someone yelling at their teammates, throwing out slurs, or even telling people

Interesting. Deadlock went straight in the “mega toxic comms” bin for me. Same experience as I had with DOTA.

Damn, I’m sorry about that. Some of my steam frens have said the same thing too. Idk what’s up with that. Maybe it’s my subtle, yet devastating comebacks: “Your depression doesn’t scare me” (they don’t know they’re depressed) and “Meow” (someone just called someone else a “Pussy”).
I’m also a big fan of the Mute button (which they recently added for the enemy team as well); it can make for an awkward game though, saving/healing someone that you muted. I haven’t used it recently though. >.>
