Top 10 Most Toxic Video Game Communities

Video games were invented to bring happiness. But there are some people to take their gaming WAY too seriously. Sore losers, trolls, and beggars all take part in making sure you don't want these games. Worst part? They don't know it. Being part of this community can have a bad impact on your social game. If you plan on getting these games, think twice.
The Top Ten
1 League of Legends

Literally everyone knows why it's in #1, and if you don't, there's plenty of other comments here that explain why.

No games could ever rival the toxicity that is in League of Legends. I love it, pure toxic, trash, garbage, radioactive game. 100/100

The most toxic online game in my opinion because the culture of blaming others and bragging are much worse than in FPS game like Fortnite and the likes which doesn't heavily rely on teamwork. When it comes to LoL then it's responsibility and it's frustrating as hell to point that even the nicest person can be so toxic due to the fact that win and lose can matter so much meanwhile the fault and mistakes of others can drag you down as well, making the game so unforgivably punishing and stressful because even if people played seriously, they still going to blame one thing or another.

This should be number 1.

2 Fortnite

Fortnite is probably the most toxic gaming community ever, especially the competitive side. If not the most, it is at least top 5 or even top 3. This is coming from someone who still somewhat plays Fortnite to this day and used to watch and follow competitive Fortnite a few months ago. Even some players who are over 16 are extremely toxic and immature.

I recently started to voice chat with random people on Fortnite. It's the worst video game "community" I've ever seen. Most people here are from 5 to 10 years old. They all have a kid voice and act immature unless you're lucky and get people that actually want to play the game casually. I swear, there's 10-year olds that pretend to be pros, and behind their mic you can hear their mom screaming "TIM! GET OFF YOUR CONSOLE RIGHT NOW! YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 10 HOURS STRAIGHT! ". And by the way people are and are acting, this community in general is even worse than Minecraft and maybe Roblox. There's only kids in it. Some can be nice but most are cringey, cancerous and toxic. Guys, play this game if you have friends to play with, or stay in solo. People are cancerous there. Especially if you play on console.

This is number 1 it has to be because there are always some 10 year olds on the look out for anyone who doesn't like youtubers who play this game. Not to mention the language used on this, just for having a default skin and for anyone who just joined the game. Plus everyone is easily triggered by the game because they care so much about, it's just a sucky game. You lost, you lost, gg, stop crying.

As part of the Fortnite competitive community, over half the people are toxic. Not only are they toxic, but they are also immature and stupid.

3 Call of Duty

There is a troll on YouTube named Jungle Spike, who spam cancerous comments under many COD related videos. Just report and block this 7-year-old when you see him.

4 Undertale

When shall "Undertale solos EVERY other franchise" "Asriel is multi-universal" "Chara is omnipotent" nonsense stop?

Honestly, as a fan, I would have to admit that my fandom is kinda toxic

5 Bendy and the Ink Machine

They keep shipping themselves with the titular character Bendy.. unoriginal.

Bendy is super toxic and disturbing!

6 Minecraft

Some people be like "Minecraft isn't toxic" and completely ignore PvP servers and 2b2t. Every time someone portrays Minecraft's community as puppies, kittens, and rainbows, I die from cringe inside.

Minecraft: Java Edition: The Most Toxic Game.
You can't play a single minigame in a server without being thrown into a server against toxic kids, tryhards, cheaters, and stupid people in general. If you mess up at anything the toxics will attack you for it. The toxic noobs of the Minecraft community love to spam "L" at people upon beating others. Tryhards are rampant and are completely undefeatable. Cheaters are common to the point of being unavoidable, which is frustrating to say the least. If you try to ask them anything, they will most likely resort to a "your mum" insult. Not everyone in the community is like this, but they're sadly overshadowed by the toxic playerbase. Watch out for them.

This needs say. The Minecraft section on YouTube is jammed with hungry kids waiting to devour the souls of anyone hating on CaptainSparklez, SkyDoesMinecraft or UnspeakbleGaming. It is basically the North Korea in the world of games. And the fanbase itself, 99.8% of them are two year olds who basically worships Notch and toilets (fasciniating) and go online bragging about "pwning" everyone. And the worst, they watch and make MINECRAFT PORN. Yes, you don't have eye sickness, it is right. No wonder why I unsubscribed every Minecraft youtuber over 2 years ago.

Some toxic player is joining your server, digging underground, put TNT, light it up, and destroy all of your progress. This happens a lot in high school.

7 Cuphead

I like Cuphead (especially the art style) but the fandom...
I am lost at words for how bad it is.

Cuphead is hitler of the fandom!

Cuphead should be a villain!

8 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

2019 was probably the worst year for the Smash community. The rise of drama becoming a daily basis, many competitive players have fan bases that will crap on you because they disagree with something you claim. This community is becoming like how political You Tubers are; making fun of anyone that isn't themselves, laughing at someone correcting them, and being a douche. With the current unprecedented crisis, it recently has become more of war against Smash Ultimate's online system. Unfortunately, I don't see the community getting better anytime soon, and Ultimate could be what leads to destroying the community. Only because of its community? I feel bad for Sakurai because he puts so much work into this game, and the community is probably going to be remembered as one of the most toxic communities of all time.

I love this game but the fan base can get pretty toxic, especially regarding dlc characters. Melee's fan base has at least mellowed out recently.

I owned this game for Xmas and I don't play online due toxicity.

9 Super Smash Bros Melee

The Smash series in general should be its own category. Melee recently has died down, but there's still many fans who will butcher you about how their game is better than Ultimate (when it's without a valid argument). Let's just say the worst they experienced last year was EVO replacing them with Ultimate.

Outcasts from the smash community.

10 Pokemon

I'm a Pokémon fan myself and I am honestly just disgusted by most of the fans. Not all of the fans are bad (some are in fact my friends) but a lot of them are AWFUL (mainly the goddam genwunners, seriously screw them! ) If the genwunners and the perverts and pokemon worshippers never existed, the fanbase would have at least be tolerable.

This community constantly calls non franchise games like Yokai Watch, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh ant others ripoffs despite their not even the same. They don't even give the games a chance, they just say that their ripoffs without even looking

Almost every pokemon youtuber make at least a thousand videos on fake leaks just to get that sweet ad revenue.

Gen 8 haters are gonna be the next genwunners I tell ya.

The Contenders
11 Overwatch

Overwatch player here. Our motto is when all else fails, blame your teammates. Plus the online discussions about the game are the worst I have ever seen among any game.

I love the game but god it takes a vocal minority to make the community toxic. Also this list is most toxic communities not most cancerous so take Minecraft, fnaf off, and keep everythimg else on.

Exactly like tf2s fanbases but at least the cheaters and hackers all get banned right away. But yeah people will complain for you picking the wrong character.

I'm already widowmaker

12 Sonic the Hedgehog

This community is in denial. Sonic SUCKS. There was indeed a golden age. The franchise died in 2006. They are also some of the most perverted people on the internet. These people are cancer and every other negative description possible.

You fricks! When will you learn? When will you learn, that your actions have consequences?!?!

13 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Every toxic person in this game will exploit every unfair advantage possible from running outside thw base and trying to kill the entire team or team killing the random, or inviting the random to a party at the END of the match to tell them how bad they are and to kill themselves, they will run lion, Dokkibei, jackal, and try to rush the obj and it is not fun what do ever, I have never actually had a good time playing siege, it's always serious and sweaty. Facts.

Full of arrogant players; in game thinking they're the best, and out of game saying that r6 is the best game ever and no other game can beat it when that's clearly wrong

Community just gets worse and worse as they grow.

14 Doki Doki Literature Club!

They annoy you and call you sexist if you don't like a crappy game with no gameplay. Also game theory claims Monika is the future and the fandom is worse. The fandom cannot accept opinions and obsess over Monika

This fandom is so annoying that they even appear in Mii videos and start spamming. That's why they suck!

Another overrated indie game move on!

Why is this on here?

Please...explain.

15 GTA franchise

This community should actually deserve number one in the most toxic game communities. You cannot just freely play in the public lobby without everyone seeing you as an enemy of the state. You got people acting like children, $999999999 parkour mode, trolls, griefers, hacks, attacks, illegal online modding (still happened from time to time), etc. You will also see people from time to time using foul language, calling you a noob, pwning, killing your character continuously, destroying your personal vehicle continuously, or even in the worse case (ultimate offense), hack, hijack, use mods on you, or even DDOS your internet connection/wifi. Basically the whole public lobby of Grand Theft Auto Online is 100% toxic. Hence why I only play Grand Theft Auto Online for just one day. Yes, just ONE. SINGLE. DAY. Due to the toxicity. And now I just stick with single player mods.

16 Counter Strike franchise

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of them.

17 Roblox

When they're not tearing people apart for the most minor of reasons (Or even things that aren't even confirmed) They lack self awareness to a silly degree (Because kids and stuff). But when they are- They often jump on people for the smallest of reasons, Even uncomfirmed things.

The community is so toxic. A completely unnecessary chat filter, annoying kids, lazy admins who support online dating (I'm talking to you Alexnewtron), the youtubers keep talking crap about each other and getting into fights (Minigunner, CowCow, Chloe, Legobloxian, etc).

The only people who actually have an argument is the person below me and the person below the person below me.

Roblox is full winny kids and cheaters and hackers. And idiots like pink sheep who just troll new players and call all the people who don't have custom skins noobs

18 Dota 2

Dota 2 is toxic, but League is more toxic.

19 Dark Souls
20 Battlefield 1

Its not toxic bro.

21 Five Nights at Freddy's

It is cringe worthy, but this community mostly died, plus there wasn't too much hostility.

Apparently if I say let the game die I deserve to die as well I guess

22 Valorant
23 Halo franchise

Halo has 2 groups of people the elitists who complain about 343s new changes and complain about new players and call them dumb and always complain about them.

24 Fallout Franchise

They should get over the canvas bag thing, and they should understand Fallout 76 will be updated continuously, the game has a great foundation. I reckon in a year or even under it will be a high quality game.

25 Apex Legends
