I've played shooters for the better part of the past 15 years. Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Unreal Tournament, CS:GO, etc. and i've never had a real problem with any of the communities. Sure, sometimes I got a little angry and became that guy who blamed his teammates, but it's the nature of the beast when you play shooters, a little gamer rage is to be expected.

Then comes the year 2018 where Sparta was introduced to a popular game called Overwatch. I admittedly got hooked, it's actually my most played game of this year by a country mile because the game itself is fun and well designed. The community on the other hand is by far the worst community i've ever experienced and i'm actually about to abandon Overwatch for Halo again (good idea right? leave a popular game for a dying franchise, lmao @ me)

Unfortunately, Overwatch is a Blizzard game so it naturally attracts the stereotypical WoW/MMO player. Lazy, no respect for others, no drive, no desire to work as a team, prone to rage, can't take criticism, sometimes you run into players who actually becomes sad in a losing game and instead of leaving to calm down they stay around to encumber your team. Worst of all, there's the entitled player, the one who picks a character and refuses to play absolutely anything else when needed. The problem increases if its a group of friends who all pick damage heroes and laugh when you say the team needs tanks and/or supports then proceed to stink up the joint with their inability to kill things.

I've heard similar stories of League of Legends being an awful experience for the same reasons, but i've never played it so i'm going with Overwatch as my personal choice for worst community.
