What do you do when your own team dogpiles you in chat?
Not sure if the flair fits, but I didn't think this counted as fan mail since I have no screenshots.
I just played a game where my tank and other DPS tried to ban my pick. It happens sometimes, and I always select their heroes for bans if that happens, cause I figure tit for tat is fair game. Is it petty? Yeah, but so is permabanning a teammate's pick imo.
Anyway, the other DPS got their pick banned (with Sombra somehow not being banned) and proceeded to throw the game going 1-13 and spending a lot of time at spawn. Did anyone call them out on it? Nope. Other than our Ana, who defended me because I was trying, everyone else on my team AND two people on the enemy team were hurling insults at me. Two of my teammates cussed me out in chat. I was the only one on my team with a positive KD and the only one putting time on point to capture.
The game was lost in a huge stomp. I muted all the people trash talking pretty early on and of course reported, but it just sucked. Idk why I should get all this hate, get called slurs, and be accused of helping the enemy team when I just want to play my favorite hero. I know I'll get over it. I know it shouldn't bother me anyway, but it does. I just wanna enjoy the game.
Does anyone else feel this way? When this happens, what do you do? It feels so pointless when most of the team hates you and cares more about bullying in chat than trying to win.
