![]() ![]() Every other match there is a player raging at their teammates for not playing objectively or insulting their team for some other perceived injustice. As someone who has primarily played unranked PvP for many years now, I can assure you there is plenty of toxicity. ![]() To say that toxicity only existed in Ranked PvP is incredibly naive. Removing Ranked won’t get rid of Toxicity in PvP It’s a shame the developers didn’t do a recent Season without Top 96 Rewards or try anything else to save Ranked (but again, not surprising).īut alas, there are other types of toxicity (not unique to Ranked PvP) that the PvP Revamp does nothing to address. I remember the first few seasons of Ranked being pretty chill back when we didn’t have the Top 96 Rewards. Something as simple as removing the Top 96 Rewards would have gone a long way to reducing these toxic behaviours. However, Bioware’s lack of success or attempts at moderating these behaviours in later seasons led to poor player experiences which gave the developers license to remove Ranked. Some toxic behaviours were present in Ranked such as throwing, win-trading and even straight-up exploiting. The reason the developers gave us for the removal of Ranked was to encourage positive play but ultimately to reduce toxicity. I had always naively hoped that it would one day make a comeback. It has also brought back painful memories of the removal of 8v8 Ranked. Even though I haven’t actively done Ranked since Season 3, I feel awful for the players who loved it and mourn the removal of challenging content from the game. I was honestly disappointed but not surprised that it was being removed from the game. Ranked PvP was a staple of the game for over 9 years and ran for 14 seasons.

Given the complexities of human behaviours, conditioning and emotions, toxicity is something that can not be solved in a video game. More competitive players are more likely to brush off most of this type of toxicity as banter. What one person considers harsh or malicious another would consider just banter. But when it comes to words typed or said, everyone reacts differently. People on the internet throw around the word ‘toxicity’ in regard to behaviours, words or actions they don’t like or agree with all the time.īut what about in a video game environment? How do different players define toxicity? Most players would agree that behaviours such as throwing, win-trading, griefing and exploiting are ‘toxic’. Banter is defined as ‘ to speak to address in a witty or teasing manner’. The Mirriam-Webster Dictionary defines toxicity as an ‘ extremely harsh, malicious, or harmful quality’.
