The game has just launched. Not everyone is a CSGO Global elite with 7k hours. Please chill out. Don't chew someone out for not clutching up or playing as well as Shroud. For some people this is their first FPS game and your toxicity probably knocks their confidence to 0.
Unranked is a casual game mode. Grab a beer and breathe.

If you're interested in helping to shape our community in a positive way, here's a fun fact! Bystander intervention is the most effective method for dissolving a situation with a bully. However, that doesn't mean to start insulting and berating them. Comments like "Hey, we don't do that here," or "They're clearly new, and yelling at them isn't going to help." can be really helpful! (It's better to address the behavior, not the person.) Then, engage with the person who's getting bullied in a positive way. You might root them on, give them gentle feedback on how to improve their gameplay, or even just ask them how their day is going.
Hope this helps :) And thanks again for looking out for our newest recruits!
the reminders are great indeed. i was ready to flame my teammates, but quickly checked reddit. luckily i saw this post and remembered 'not everyone is global elite in CSGO', so then i quickly changed my ways. all it took was this reminder
also you must be new to the internet if you think saying 'hey we dont do that here' will have any positive effect... lol. if youre gonna stick up for the person being made fun of, you better do it will full commitment & aggression or not at all
Definitely not new to the internet :P. And I have indeed seen it work! But hey, if that language doesn't feel right for you, don't use it. I'm just not an advocate for defending against verbal abuse...with more verbal abuse lol.
I have a quick question regarding how reporting people who harass via voice chat works. Does RIOT record and monitor the voice chat so that when reports are made, RIOT can hear and punish those who are incredibly toxic?
Some people abuse the fact that in some games, the only thing that can be reported is text chat and go off in voice chat. Are we going to see the same problems here?
if you could provide some insight, it would be very much appreciated !
I'm not sure exactly what the system is right now...however, I can tell you FOR SURE that the goal is to have not only voice chat recorded for review, but to have AI that can recognize the worst of the worst (like racial slurs) to facilitate reporting systems. We're aware of the loopholes in other games. We're working really, really hard to seal those up in ours :)
