I’m hoping this isn’t a common thing, but my very first match I got some toxicity from my opponent in chat. I was remarking about how goofy the catapult looked and he responded back about how it doesn’t matter because I’m losing so bad and he had 5 bases, name calling etc. I know there’s a lot of overlap with the SC2 community so it’s probably coming from there? Anyone else getting toxic opponents already?

Edit - many of the responses here are very telling of the type of community this game has. Unfortunate for sure, it’s good that there are many friendly players who are willing to be civilized. It’s a game we play for fun. No reason to be negative. No one wants to be called names and talked down to while spending their free time on a game, sharing that time with another player online somewhere.

I played sc2 in beta and it definitely was not this rough. This game has unfinished animations all over the place, placeholder models and textures. Sc2 open beta was basically finished

Not saying it’s bad, this is a small team and SC2 came from one of PC gaming largest developers. But this game is 100% not comparable to SC2 in open beta.

If I recall, SC2 was in “beta” after 7 years of development, and within the year it was released. Totally different situation. That was more of a marketing beta—we are still very early on and in active development.
