Riot Games’s competitive title is also plagued with teammates who go AFK mid game. These are usually smurf or blatant hackers, and in most cases just pure toxic players.

However, that does not change the fact that the absence of communication puts you at a serious disadvantage, often costing you the game.

This might be because of aggressive players who never let other people talk. If this is the norm in the competitive titles, then newer players will not find much use for their communication devices.

Another reply pointed towards a rather common issue that female players within the community have to go through daily. Gamers either act abnormally when they encounter a female or some might scream random curse words at them. This will also come under the umbrella of toxicity that needs to be addressed at the earliest.
