Addressing Toxicity in the Community

Hey, everyone. It’s me, Jonjitsu. There’s probably very little people that know about me but I used to play this game very competitively back in season 1. I was the #1 Fragrans. I used to play amongst the best. I no longer play this game as much anymore and not competitively either. I recently watched a video regarding a person who was practically cyberbullied on the game and I too felt I was cyberbullied.When I first stepped foot into the high elo, which was around platinum at the time, there were people who were shocked to see me up there. People were curious who I was and people who doubted my skills could even compete against them. I was accused of being boosted. It didn’t feel very welcoming, especially when people decided to investigate my account on CN. It just felt weird.

The toxicity in the high elo threw me away from this game. It became uncomfortable for me to play when there’s people who were so toxic with each other and some who just didn’t want to play with me. After watching the video, I regrettably looked up my name on this Discord and the other one. The negative comments about me were a dagger to my heart. I try my best every game and I make sure that nothing could break my mentality. I desperately wanted to bring positivity, especially with how tense this game can be. Now everytime I look at this game, I’m just reminded of how disappointed at what this community has become and how it has treated me and many others.

The community is definitely in need of addressing all this toxic behavior both in game and in its Discord. The community shouldn’t be allowed to talk negatively about each other and post screenshots of others performing poorly to blame their misfortune on. Any content creator of the game should be encouraging positivity amongst one another and the ones who bring negativity should be addressed. Creating a positive community should be the developers main goal as negativity would only bring them out, as it has done with me. Thank you to anyone who’s taken the time to read out my message, and I wish the best for this community.

~Sincerely,

Jonjitsu
