League of Legends. I used to enjoy playing it but could only do so many games before I got sick of the angsty teenagers
It's been years since I ever played CoD but my experience was that it is basically a racial abuse simulator with an FPS in it.
Nowhere near as bad, but I was shocked how intensely elitist and gatekeeperish Hollow Knight's community can be. I'd already finished the game when I found the sub on Reddit but damn they are mean to beginners!
For some reason all fighting game communities seem to be split down the middle between friendly, chill people who want to help you learn and complete, uncompromising psychopaths
Path of Exile. If you say anything positive about it you get shit for being a mindless fanboy, and if you say anything negative about it you're a mindless hater. Plus the whole "zoom zoom" meta
So you're saying it's a game community? ;)
FFXIV for sure. Endgame players who have tryed this game understand how much is toxic be actually part of challenges. All the time FFXIV is advertise as happy place with happy community but no one talks about the toxicity of making groups for raids. I don't regret to have quit and I don't looking to returning as well.
I mean id understand endgame players but 90% of the people you will see in game are nice people who are just playing the game, like ive learned so much about xiv just from talking to other players.
Left 4 Dead 2 versus. I dare you to join a random match online and last longer than 10 minutes without getting kicked. Or just search for "left 4 dead 2 versus kicked" and you will find countless examples of people complaining about it.
It's become a meme at this point and I'm pretty sure that people kick for fun although some claim that people kick you for not being good enough or too good. Just play with friends instead or play campaign, people are nice there.
League of Legends is toxic in the way of people getting too emotionally invested in a game, but Counterstrike (in the old days, pre Source and GO) was toxic in a casually bigoted way almost completely detached from the state of the current match, which I think is worse.
Haven't played in a while but Warcraft all day unless you're on an established RP server.
The Barrens chat used to be this weird wonderful mix of helpful, toxic, and just strange.
I even had the T-shirt "I survived the barrens chat". I might still have it in a drawer somewhere. If so, it vastly outlived my interest in playing WoW.
Individual pokemon fans are sweethearts, but forever reasons, most major online pokemon communities are dens of awful where some of the worst people gather and make you question why you're even a fan in the first place.
Cyberpunk, easily. Everyone loves to hate it for some reason, and shit all over everyone that dares to enjoy it.
Escape from Tarkov
WoW's right now is something else. (timed M+ ruined everyone's chill mindset)
Technically not my own experience, but my partner plays Dead By Daylight and the community there seems absolutely terrible. I ask them why they play it at this point and they don't even know.
