The reason it was mentioned wasn't the multiplayer though. It was about all the nerdrage over ME3's ending.
Yes it sucked and deserved to be criticized, and Marauder Shields was amusing, but the reaction was pretty over the top. Sending death threats to writers families? Come on!
Hmm, maybe the E: D community isn't so bad after all?
Never liked watchmajo, and that video is no exception.
While he may raise some valid points his opinionated rant about games he doesn't like, is not my kind of entertainment. Pritty heavy bias.
Any internet game that let's you communicate with your enemy will encounter abusive players, don't hate the game, hate the player...
The easiest solution to dealing with any toxicity is to remove yourself from participating in it even as an observer.
I have noticed the same. I have a good English friend working with Russians and Belarusians, and in his opinion they don't really understand swearing. In my own experience it comes across as the sort of stuff 12 year old boys spout to seem cool and tough. Repetitive and annoying (which is probably the point).. Russians in particular, seemingly only communicate with expletives in Dota. I rarely play for this reason - there's nothing more sobering than listening to some man-child rage when you're trying to relax and play a game. disease and death upon you and your family.
But I played Dota for a long while and watched it become more and more toxic over the years. Back when I first started playing Dota I could have maybe 20 games without a rager (which was around 10 hours of play). I can't remember the last game I had without one now. Literally every game I am in. Every single one - someone rages. That doesn't always lead to someone getting abused but most of the time if they're raging they're also looking for someone to take it out on.
I think this is the case with F2P games.
World of Tanks has an incredibly hostile atmosphere at times, especially at the higher tiers. A bad match can really cost someone silver, and so poor play is considered by some players (presumably those with nothing else in their lives with which to measure their self worth) as actually stealing from them.
It's worth checking the rager's service record. Quite often they have a win rate of 49% or less, so they tend to be pretty bad players. Dunning-Kruger's hits hard, and they are convinced that their losses are always the fault of others.
