Some people play pvp to compete and have fun With silver (and below) regularly being matched against plat+, there is no real competition.Unless you enjoy CC and condi spam, or just destroying the other team, which often has no real chance of fighting back, there is no fun to be found either. Ranked, despite its name, simply isn't competitive (anymore).This.I think that the matchmaking is one of the biggest problems which fosters toxicity. While online gaming will always have bad apples in every game, pitching veterans with years of experience against people who havent even played for a year is bound to be a frustrating experience for everyone.Even in plat the gap between players is huge - due to the relatively low player base there is pretty much no middle ground between vets and newer players. Take my own experience for example: Ive been playing PvP for about 2 months and im in low plat.Depending on the time of the day the game just decides its fine for me to be matched with MOTA finalists and veterans who have been playing for years.This is bound to lead to frustration, problems and extremly uneven matches.And while i do understand that people get mad when they get matched with people obviously worse than them, i still cant help but have mixed feelings when people (who have thousands of games played) start trashtalking me (or someone else) for being "bad".Its especially frustrating when you have streamers (who you try to learn from), that have been playing for years and sometimes even attended multiple tournaments, shittalk you or others. People seem to just ignore the fact that playtime is one of THE biggest factors which determines how good you are at a game and just want to vent their frustration about losing - while simultaneously perpetuating the problem of the low player base and the small influx of new players.
