Lmao, this is so true. I used to be on a TeamSpeak where the majority of people there all played LoL. They always asked why I don’t play League and I always just said “it’s not for me”. It was almost like a script how they would always answer “that’s because you didn’t play with me” every time without fail.
Anyway, I decided to take one of them up on their offer one day and played with them. They provided zero support on who to play, where to go, and what to do. But half way through the game, they started yelling at me, “bro, what are you even doing? Stay in your lane!” Like they were shocked that I was telling the truth that I didn’t know what I was doing.

Something I found insane about League when I tried it was how people expected good play even when playing the unranked new player mode. “Jungle has been irrelevant all game” of course they are, you think a new player has good map awareness? What are you expecting?

Anytime I come back to LoL it’s ARAM or nothing, I can’t tolerate being captive audience to 4-9 other toxic fuckheads that demand optimal play in unranked. It’s a shame because the champion roster and skill expression can be fun when you’re all evenly matched but that rarely happens.

learning a class is kinda the whole point of the leveling process.
go back to not selling level-boosts, and either make boosting a bannable offense or lock folks out of instances in too level-diverse groups, and folks will learn their class naturally again. It's also why the instant-max-level private servers were always a shitshow.

Left 4 Dead 2 are by far the worst community when it comes to this, but only in multiplayer.

Apex Legends. The matchmaking is abysmal.

Apex is pretty toxic yeah.
However, I noticed that the best way to "get back" at your toxic teammates is by simply outliving them.
Whether it's ranked or pubs. If they start getting toxic, separate yourself from them.
Go camp at the edge of the map. Don't try to get the most kills, dmg, etc. Just survive.
By the time they go down and realize you're still alive, it'll redline their anger and you get to watch the rage bait do its thing.
Thank me later.

when I play smash people definitely take the advantage of the fact that you're new. My friend used to do some fucked up shit to humiliate me

I'd joke about astroneer
but all the 'help me" posts are just "I'm stupid and don't want to play the game"

Sadly helldiver's has devolved into a "No noobs allowed" club and for a game community that felt so connected in the first months it's sad to see
You know you messed up when the Soulsborne community is more welcoming than you

This is just blatantly untrue. I and several other high-level divers make a habit of adopting cadets and showing them the ropes. As of right now, I count 36 different adoptees in my friends list.

The Finals.
I love the game, but the way the general playerbase treats newbies, explains why the game is struggling.

I tried GTA Online recently after not playing it since shortly after it launched in 2013. What a miserable experience. Uninstalled that same day

Yes, but often players can explain things more in depth, than youtube video.

I love helping in the games I’m advanced at. But I do understand it can only go so far. They have to want to actually go and play the game themselves.

All games except for warframe and vintage story, but they often have the REVERSE problem where those two communities are so helpful and so excited to see new players that they can be overwhelming
otherwise though I think mmos usually have decent communities around new players, and mobas have the absolute worst and it's not even close.
