MabusIncarnate 02/12/18 12:56:12 AM #5:	I always hated this mentality, but it's just about all online games. If you are on the losing end, and at the bottom of the list, it's apparently an offense worthy of reporting you for. I get it if you are team killing, or are idle multiple times during the game, but if you are that concerned about winning, find a full team to play with so you aren't concerned with how randoms are performing. Some communities are better than others, but it's definitely just not Overwatch. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:895920254] in Why is the...
