But that's the one that nobody needs 😉

Scientology. They don't want to be seen as such, but that is because they are toxic!

https://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/447996/noob-friendly-non-abusive-moba

I've steered clear of MOBA's so far because I've read that they hold just about the most abusive and elitist bunch of players in gaming. Still, I have the itch to try one.  Is there a MOBA out there that will let an old fart with iffy reflexes play without getting skinned alive by his teammates?  Especially as a noob?  One where the players don't take shit as seriously as if they were fighting for the very fate of Middle Earth?


There is no such thing as non abusive moba. When you are forced in group with 4 other random people against other 5 random people an argument is bound to start be it inside your team or from the enemy. Always expect to be trash talked in a moba no matter which one.


My first couple of attempts in MOBAs reminded me of when I tried UO...take one step outside Britain and get slaughtered and called every name in the book...TO me this format draws the most elitist jerks in the industry.


I don't think you could pick a worse genre when it comes to douchenozzles.


Random MOBA groups are always going to be abusive.

I played a DotA 2 mutiplayer game myself. Once.

And I note that as of this writing, the only two people to list a video game in their comments have listed MOBAs (DotA 2 and League of Legends).

Dota introduced behavior scores and tries to match chill people with chill people now. It's really easy to ragebait someone when you're stressed out though. I get quiet or helpful teams more than raging teams these days, luckily, but it's super difficult to tell a flamer, in a nice way, that pointing fingers won't fix our teamplay and we need a better strategy right now.

I think the best strategy is to liberally mute anyone who even seems slightly stressed out, before they snap for real.

Kpop idols like BTS or Black Pink, League of Legends

My IP is 127.0.0.1

Is that a toxic one?

Doxxing everyone's home address? Yep, very toxic.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

Arguably the most toxic!

I don't know, maybe My Little Pony? Are Bronies still a thing?

Maybe I'm falling into an unfamiliarity trap, but I never really understood why My Little Pony was seen as worthy of such adulation.

MLP is actually making a bit of a comeback right now. I saw so many pony cosplays at comicon, but they're all the age to have watched FiM when they were the proper target audience. So it made enough of an impact on these people that they go full cerulean body paint in a heatwave 10-15 years later.

It's a really good cartoon though. It had strong, consistent characters, developing over 9 seasons. Stories were well-written, setting up a problem with a character flaw and resolving with a lesson learned. The ensemble cast meant that every permutation of pony resulted in new dynamics.

And it inspired so many artists, many of them still active. A lot of them dropped the "brony" from their name by now, but there's so many musicians who started in MLP and branched out.

I watched a lot of them with my kids. As far as kids shows go, there are definitely worse ones out there, but I went in knowing that bronies exist, and expected to find some deeper artistic value, but no, it's just a kids show about magic pony friends.

Year, Star Wars is the answer. Because the biggest fans are also the biggest haters.
