nykTbh idk why all these people complain about our community being 'elitest' or whatever, neither me nor a single friend I've spoken to experienced much toxicity when they came up into leagues and stuff back in 2015 (but a fair amount after that voncerning other things), so unless things changed drastically in one year, maybe it's just your attitude or you're just talking to the wrong people?
maybe you just got lucky. or maybe the problem lies in the fact that you're talking about leagues. ive tried to introduce friends into competitive twice. its hard to get people into teams from the get go. Lots of people dont want to play on teams at all, and with pure pub experience people get shit on hard in lobbies.
lobbies, or something like them, are what the vast majority of potential players want out of a competitive game. its why valve's cheater infested joke of a competitive system with its garbage ruleset has been so detrimental. its why people complain about toxicity so much; the people trying to play faceit and tf2c all day get terrible experiences every other game. seriously, faceit has its share of russian trolls, but people who come try to make an honest effort out of their pub experience get told to leave and not come back. on fucking faceit. people dont want to commit to anything in a video game, they just want to be able to occasionally play a serious game whenever they feel like it, and that's nearly impossible to do in tf2 without spending at least one season on a team.

there's no effective solution to this besides "get enough new players to let them play each other constantly," so good luck with that
