How is League not on there?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 75 points 15 hours ago

They thought it was an outlier when the data said it was 136%, so they left it out

[–] known_unknown@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

My guess is they meant harassment BY 10-17 year olds, it's well known that the youngest living league player is 26 years old

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

Huh, I thought that was the oldest living League player, because all older players had either quit League or quit life.

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm honestly suprrised. Is Lol really good at keeping toxicity down? I play Dota and used to play league, I would still agree that Dota may be toxic than league, but I wouldn't say its a huge difference. Lot more Smurfs in Dota if feels though.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Id say Dota was way more toxic back in the day compared to League. Idk aboot today because by default everyone is muted when i play league now lmao.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 28 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Harassment ‘of’ 10-17 year olds ‘by’ the game? My brother in Christ, 10-17 year olds ARE the harassment. As a 40+ gamer, I’m confident that we can drop harassment levels by 90 percent if those kids weren’t on it. Little sweaty shitheads are why I stopped playing multiplayer games.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, that is not the case. In my humble experience, the most disgusting (and/because inexcusable) shit comes from grown up guys who were 10-17 years old 15-20 years ago (and they never changed). Online gaming is a hostile environment for girls and women, and it's by far not only due to 10-17-year-olds.

Pretty hostile to us men and boys (and anyone who identifies otherwise) who dont need to be toxic to cover up fragility either

[–] Allero@lemmy.today -2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting. From my observations (I'm male, so take this with a grain of salt), women and girls are generally given positive attention - which might be unwarranted in its own right, but I rarely see hostility to this group of gamers.

There is even a phenomenon of male gamers, especially among teens, to represent themselves as female to either just get more positive response in players or to actively abuse this for gaining social perks.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Then maybe you should do some research. Every female gamer I've talked to told about harassment. And, mind you, screaming "b*tch", demanding her going back to the kitchen, threats of rape are not the only forms of harassment.

Here are some examples for videos that depict a different experience than yours:

I also recommend looking into the comments every now and then. They're usually either confirming the experience, relativize or being oughtright harassing, too.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Thanks for challenging me up on that with evidence.

Sad to know this does happen.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 27 points 16 hours ago (6 children)

People are toxic on FF? It was always so friendly when I played it.

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I've played thousands of hours of that in the last 2 years, I've never seen any toxic behavior.

Even when I die like 10 times in a dungeon everyone is always like "You'll get there". 🥹

[–] SuppleCoffee@midwest.social 1 points 2 hours ago

They’re all in my Frontline matches.

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 9 points 14 hours ago

Yeah idk where those stats are coming from. Everything I’ve ever heard and experienced with XIV has been nothing but glowingly positive. I have never seen more welcoming and patient players in an MMO in 10+ years of playing online, than in XIV.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

100% of the people we surveyed said they love to take surveys

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

FFXIV is by far the friendliest MMO I've played. Overwatch definitely needs to be on the survey.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 9 hours ago

Still is. No idea how people are taking that as toxic.

In WoW I was told to kill myself for picking a flower.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

Yeah this list is very dubious. FFXIV is possibly the chillest multiplayer game I've played.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 16 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Where is LoL

And why is PUBG:BG

[–] poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds

[–] PrinzKasper@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

For reasons unbeknownst to mankind, that is what the game is actually called these days on Steam.

[–] Gremour@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago

WINE Is Not An Emulator Is Not An Emulator.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 12 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This is surprising. I thought Valorant was very strict on harassment since it had the biggest female playerbase of any multiplayer comp shooter. To beat dota in toxicity is impressive (however its probably only because no one under 18 plays dota)

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 10 hours ago

Yeah that restriction is probably also why LOL is not on there

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 hours ago

It's a statistic from the ADL. Wasn't that thing full of shit or something?

[–] mrmorganiser@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 hours ago
[–] owl@infosec.pub 9 points 10 hours ago

? Where LOL ?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

The difference is that its 30-40yo's harassing you in Dota2.

OH you aren't playing to the exact meta in last years TI whatever...

[–] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

I call BS, CS2 is not even on the list and it's way more toxic than Valorant with all ruzzian shits playing it.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

Looks like I need to try Valorant.

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

Overwatch didn’t even make the cut! Good job boys n girls

[–] Gwyntale@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Buddy here watermarking their bloody memes

[–] Jeraxus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 hours ago

Meanwhile LoL: "Amateurs... AMATEURS!"

[–] Floopquist@lemmy.org 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

God damnit, Counterstrike really fell off.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

When they got rid of the open voice chat between teams at the start, halftime switch and ending it basically went away.

I do miss the halftime shit talk spam though. The picosecond everyone could talk to each other you would just get 10 open mics screaming random shit. One guy would just be calling the opposing teams top Fragger a cheating sack of shit. Someone else would bully the bottom Fragger on the other team for only having 4 kills in a half. Someone would blast ear rape music.

A simpler time. haha
