That is the main problem with the game.
Yes, it's nice to help and coach players BUT
People who NEED coaching and help DO NOT BELONG IN COMPETITIVE and they should not be ALLOWED to queue for it.

I stopped playing competitive, due to the fact that I can't handle losses and Competitive Overwatch makes me a horrible person. And believe me, I tried talking to them, but after trying to contact someone, in text and voice, for an entire game and have litterally 0 response, that's more than I can take. They are litterally as much of bots as of humans if they can't even handle the most basic communication, even a reply "shut up" would be enough sometimes.
Simple, everyone who complains about toxicity are probably prone to it themselves, reign yourself in, if everyone did that a big portion of the problem is solved..........oh and actually use the report system (many claim to but probably really don't).
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thread about stopping toxicity has people getting offended and blowing their lids and being toxic.... MMmmkay, check and mate. /close thread
Just humans being humans, the worst thing about prison isn't the walls, it's the people in the walls with you and it is you.

The game hasn't done anything to you, you have decided to behave a certain way and then you justify it by blaming everyone else. "Only you can prevent forest fires, but in my case the woods was making a lot of noise when the wind blew so I was like, fuck it I'll burn it down but it was totally the forests fault."
If you push a button that finds you a 'random group' and it gives you a random group of people with random skill and random knowledge then you have no right to complain that a 'random group' button did what it was designed to do. The fault lies in your inability to make friends to play with instead of relying on a button designed to be random. It is a 'random group' button, not a 'best of the best' button.
It would be less toxic if your real name, address, and phone number were used as information tags accessable to all people.

Stop being a politically correct cuck and realize that people are going to do whatever they want and learn to not let it affect you.

That is not correct.
Competitive only means you get a "grade" for your play.
Nothing else.
There is a place for everyone on the scala. If you're bad and you need mentoring/help . you will just be lower in ranking than the player who doesnt.
Thats what ranking is about. finding out where you are against the rest.
If you get put into bronze. ... maybe there is a lot to learn for you left. but that doesnt mean you cant play rankend.
What makes games toxic are people who think are the pinnacle of overwatch but don't look onto themselves first when something goes wrong.
I like how Sp4zie interacts with other players in rare occasions of him playing overwatch. You just need to not be toxic yourself, report and mute other toxic players. But remember - when you report or mute someone who are not being toxic, but simply underperforms or he doesn't do what you want to do - it's you being toxic and reducing your own chances to win the game.
Every single time you say "Genji pls pick Tracer" because you are a genji main and "he obviously can't play it right" - you are being toxic and only do worse for you tea, by triggering said Genji and by throwing assumption that his Tracer is better than his Genji. Yeah, that's just awful. In general - just be positive and condemn toxic attitudes, it will sort itself out eventually

That's not how it works. Teams with 5 "leaders" as you express, will only fight about who should lead who.
Maybe you meant "playing your character properly"? Aka, calling shots and opportunities "genji sleep", "mercy pink" etc? It's not about leadership, it's about communication. And not the "genji low genji low kill him kill him now guys", it's about useful communication, not just voice spam of gibberish

Wait, so sitting quietly reporting and muting exactly as told is 'doing nothing'? Telling them to shut up and focus and play, is 'doing nothing'? You realise they dropped RealID after Bashiok was doxed, his address and his kids' details were made public?
That is why it's giving keys to the inmates and punishing the innocent.
