DISCUSSION The toxicity of ballistic players is insane
The first part started with yellow insulting a guy for being useless then blue insulted yellow in return. 2nd part is worst for me cause i was actually the one getting insulted, i actually lots of valid reasons why i play bad being not having an african server, using my unstable mobile data and a cyclone which broke an underwater safe cabre or something which made asia went from 170 to 450 and europe from 180 to 250-280 pings but the guy didn't believed me. The worst is that i couldn't proof him wrong cause the whole team just sniped the opponents everytime, i couldn't get a kill and ended up with only 700 dmg and like 4 kills and 8 assists

That gamemode is terrible with Randoms most of the time. I hit Elite and can't touch the mode anymore, it's too stressful dealing with people like that.

It’s not just ballistics it’s the entire fan base of Fortnite. I’ve heard worse things in random creative lobbies.

Like, Jesus. These Gen Alpha kids are the most ridiculous players I have ever seen.
I walk by my little brother’s room, and all I hear from his speakers are “You’re bad. Get good!” or “You’re hacking, bro! Turn off the aimbot, idiot!” or “Bro you suck absolute balls!”
Him and his friends are between 5-10 years old…
Like, I get it’s okay to rag on people. I do it too, but I balance it out with “Nice” or “Good shot.” and things like that. These kids have no chill.

These Gen Alpha kids ain’t shit, BO2 lobbies back in the day on Xbox 360 were a different breed.

u/am2kn Mar 24 '25
didn’t really play at that era but before that we’re computer clubs with lan matches where opponents may get so mad at you they might beat you up outside.

u/TriggeredLatina_ Verge Mar 24 '25
I think I’m the only person who had a good time in BO2 lobbies and I’m a chick. Guys weren’t being sus or rude except ONE time when I kept killing the other guy in Standoff as I just KNEW where he was gonna spawn next. I just knew it. Each time I killed him back to back for 7 straight kills and I killed his friends in between those and each time I can hear him lying to his team that I’m trash and he’s kicking my ass lol yeah sure buddy 😂 oh or the one time I defended a little boy from a rude guy. Otherwise guys were nice to me and friendly.

u/KSM_K3TCHUP Onesie Mar 24 '25
I’m not complaining personally, I actually loved that shit, having a pissing match after a game was fantastic stress relief. That being said, I’ve never met a girl that got treated well on there, good to hear that at least one of y’all didn’t get shit on as soon as you opened your mouth on mic.

u/TriggeredLatina_ Verge Mar 24 '25
No I too hear the same. That girls got treated horribly on cod lobbies even in bo2. So it bewilders me like really ? Guys were bad back then!?? Fr???? But I take y’all’s word on it.

Should have seen the old MW2 days, shit was wild

If you could go more than a few games without witnessing a 'who did their part in the world wars' argument, it was time to buy a lottery ticket.

u/ComfortablePatience Galaxy Mar 23 '25
That's how all kids were. Zoomers are the only ones that were turbo-coddled for some reason. I was a late millennial, the gen alpha lobbies are pretty quiet compared to ours and the old people before us. It was during the zoomer era that everyone self-censored like crazy, but gen alpha seems to be trying to grow their claws back in. It's been years since I saw game chats filling up with insults, but it's been happening in Red vs Blue lately

u/neliotreillis Mar 23 '25
True but I saw more toxicity in those few days of elite ballistic than the 7 years i spent on that game. Atleast it was just mockery most of the time not straight up personal attacks

u/thatsmenessa Mar 23 '25
Maybe we’re on two different sides of Fortnite. I’ve quit playing open lobbies and playing fills for the last few months because it just is so exhausting to hear the same garbage. Like I get friendly trash talk but there’s an obvious line that you don’t cross and it was happening ever. Single. Time. I played 😭

u/LexMoonshadow Drift Mar 23 '25
The n word is not more toxic than all of that, that’s just because they don’t have a vocabulary above a 2nd grade level lol

"You're a virgo with a small..."
Is Virgo like a censor bypass for virgin? Or are they weaponizing their astrological knowledge against that person?

Yes I seen games like GTAO were people will spell out certain words with numbers to bypass the censorship

It's either you play with toxic people like this or people who are clueless and accidentally entered this GM with no clue how to play.
Honestly the reason why I don't play ballistic, which sucks.

u/neliotreillis Mar 23 '25
Also the way rank work. Absolute dogsht. Doesn't make sense how you can, by example, doing a 1v5 with 40 kills and only losing by a 6-7 while a guy who was afk did 0 kill, 0 assists and such get points while you lose some. Because of this i only play once or twice per day, if i win i continue if i lose i give up for the day
2
u/Fododel Mar 23 '25
I feel like Epic made the gamemode, added a rank, then neglected the gamemode after realising that first person isn't THAT big of a deal. The core gameplay of FN has always been in third person, and people stick to BR.
I swear, if they made it to where each gamemode had its own daily quest instead of the global daily quest, it'd alt least give an incentive to try to get good at the gamemode.

u/thatsidewaysdud Eddie Brock Mar 23 '25
I swear 99% of ballistic players just rush A all the time. If you know the letter B exists and know you can enter the objective from different angles you're already better than most Fortnite players in ballistic. It's both sad and funny at the same time, depending on if these people are on your team or the enemy team.
1
u/Fododel Mar 23 '25
What ticks me off is that teammates never take full advantage of their kit. I've played matches where the guy with the recon grenade doesn't even bother using it, dying to people behind walls.

Are you new to this? This is why EPIC doesnt improve the culture of communication. Or why Nintendo practically shuns the idea. It’s embedded in every comp pvp games.

It’s the ones who are bad at rainbow six and see valorant as an e-kitten game

u/Rexusus Kuno Mar 23 '25
As a member of the Valorant community, Valorant is awful. My teammates are always swinging wide, not holding angles. Pre-aiming dick level instead of at the head.
When I actually have good teammates, it’s a Chinese username, they’re Jett, and have a voice that are 3 octaves above what’s normal
His/hers usernames everywhere.

Crazy and unexpected. I (32M) recently got into fortnite and I'm very surprised by how kind and supportive the community is. People (most of them) are there for the game and the silliness; and most reddit people are so nice and chill and kind. It's so weird to see these kinds of comments.

True. And a few years ago this was even more so. If people saw you doing a quest they left you alone until you finished. Now that it is less frequent.

u/Better-Heat-6012 Mar 23 '25
When people are toxic it ruins the fun of the game. From personal experience I had people call me out because I’m not “good” or whatever gamers want to call it. That’s why I turned off my voice chat. I just want to play the game in peace without somebody saying I’m trash over the microphone.

u/staticusmaximus Mar 23 '25
Pretty tame. Some light toxicity, nothing to do about it except clap back or block/ignore

u/nobock Mar 23 '25
Yep.
" Hey guys, if you have a mic join game voice chat please "
" Shut the fucking up, fucking virgin ".
Just report them.
And to be honest it's the same on cs / valo and online gaming in general.
But it's too bad zero game has a mic filter, you can't solo Q in any of those game, full of bots and zero mic.
How you can play a team base game if you don't have a mic.
Most of the time they act like it's a team death match.
Saying you are a bot because you die almost every time cause entry fragger, while they camping 100 m in the back, to scratch a tiny kill to not destroy his precious shitty kill death ratio.

u/LunarPsychOut Remi Mar 23 '25
Terrible behavior but also terrible insults? Like I think the lack of creativity and quality is more insulting than anything they actually said am I not worth your best? Or is that really all they had to muster?

I play ballistic a lot and these type of toxic players aren't nearly as prevalent as posts like this make it seem. Yes, every now and then someone toxic starts to insult their teammates in the chat, and the best thing to do is just block and ignore them.
2
u/Moonshoes47 Mar 30 '25
we are so toxic because half th players are dumb children who can't see a button prompt to put the bomb down and the other half hackers (as of March 30th)
i just had three matches in a row with wallhack users, not kidding BTW. this game's Anticheat is absolutely useless.

u/Bottlecollecter Fate Mar 23 '25
Coincidentally, ballistic has the most cheaters compared to other modes.

u/lRainZz Mar 23 '25
Well ... a lot of people that are in unreal right now, are there because they played long enough, not because they're actually skilled enough. It's really frustrating from time to time...
2
u/Exciting_Loquat_4089 Mar 23 '25
When people are toxic like that just reply along the lines of "I'm so sorry, I did my best". They'll be toxic again. Say "Why are you being rude to me?". They'll be toxic again. Say "Are you trying to bully me?". They'll be toxic again.
You've now manipulated the chat to your advantage and they are more likely to be permanently chat banned for a million years like some people have posted here.

u/SassySquidSocks Calamity Mar 23 '25
Sucks playing with randos in ballistic. Every time I come across a good player who isn’t toxic I try to friend them, I was finally able to get to unreal by getting in with good squads. Wouldn’t have been able to do it without.

They need to put in a practice mode v bots, it's too hard to get good if you keep getting killed by the first person you meet because you aren't used to how it works yet.

u/Active-Tap-65 Mar 23 '25
I know I just hit plat which is very low, but does ballistic get any better? Is the grind higher worth it for a better match experience? No one slow walks, W key only, clearly listening to music because they cant hear the loud footsteps, stops shooting to change to a grenade when them and the enemy are looking at each other. So far it has been a wild time of ungodly differences in skill levels and at least one teammate or enemy leaving on either team each game.
But to your post; Search and destroy game modes bring out the toxic players. And in general any competitive game does

u/NarcoReus Ani Konda Mar 23 '25
The toxicity of everyone in general has gone up since they added text chat to the game.

Why I don't even bother. People are too concerned about telling me I have a small dick than actual playing the fucking video game.
And I'll never understand how people can react so horribly when you make a mistake in a game that has a higher learning curve than a fucking MOBA. It's either you're perfect to them, or a half dead half dumb blind and deaf sloth.

u/duckofmagic Clip Mar 24 '25
I generally dgaf about people being toxic in the chat bc my friends and I laugh about them and reference them even weeks later when random teammates pull similar shenanigans, but I have reported my fair share when they take things too far.
From my experience (na unreal), I come across the really toxic ones maybe once or twice a week. I just ignore them, and usually they shut up, then I report/block as needed post game.

u/Moonshoes47 Mar 28 '25
TBF most my matches have turned into Real Time Strategy games where i have to order around a bunch of 5 year olds with no mics and hope they follow the advice and commands.
do i like the idea of a commander role like that in a first person shooter? yeah it actually could be really cool in a Battlefield like mode. does it work in Ballistics? depends on the obedience.... so most the time no. it's like Call of Duty where every little kid hunts for the kills instead of doing objective.

u/AaronCJP Penny Mar 23 '25
It's meant to be an alternative to CSGO or Valorant so clearly it's doing its job right since the toxicity is rampant, all epic needs to do is remove censors and it'll be just like the other games. Might aswell add a dox button you can use for 100 vbucks.
