Jakey I feel like pointing that out would only go over peoples heads or make them think our community is especially worse than others which isn’t really true, it’s just smaller.
I agree it might go over people's heads, so i'm advocating to a "lets warn newbies at the very least" sort of thing. Like the RGL sucks guy who just posted could have used a warning before being tossed into the jungle.
DoughyOr just don't be disgustingly toxic? The community is so small that everyone knows everyone around their skill level anyway. It's not just random online toxicity, it IS more targeted. If some random tells me "kys" i'll just chuckle since I'll never see him again, if someone i'm forced to play with constantly keeps saying shit I just won't want to play the game.

Hurts to say, but because of developer neglect, I think that our community is a little worse that average. I played CSGO at university collegiate level. Collegiate level essentially means that the teams aren't as good (most uni's have at most 1-2 players that might go semipro, most teams ~esea open), but it also means that the older players (college seniors, like me) make sure everyone treats their enemies with respect, like in soccer. Anyone who played team sports as kid knows that everything is more fun when you treat your opponents with respect.
The experience of "someone i'm forced to play with constantly is continually ruthlessly talking shit to me" is not uncommon in the slightest, but it in other communities its completely unheard of.
