Overwatch and Marvel Rivals Have the Exact Same Problem, and Neither Will Ever Fix It

Yet for as much as I love Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, I usually find myself getting angry when playing them. To me, nothing beats that feeling of getting into a long final fight in a hero shooter, then working together to finally synergize abilities and come out on top. But at the same time, few games — barring the infamous League of Legends — are as toxic. Whether it’s throwers, leavers, cheaters, or flamers, it’s all so frustrating. The worst part about the hero shooter genre, whether it’s deserved Game of the Year winner Overwatch or up-and-comer Marvel Rivals, is the communities. And, while Blizzard and NetEase can do what they can to mitigate this issue, the toxicity problem runs too deep for any one game to fix it.
