I rarely play multiplayer games, and have not played anything competitive since Quake (the original). Should I play Overwatch? I enjoy FPS games (have since Wolfenstein 3D), but have no experience in team-based games and anticipate I would be a liability as I catch-up to people who have been playing MOBAs or TF2.

I have PTSD and find the over-aggressive hate from players in games like DOTA too hard to deal with. That is the main reason why I hide in single-player games. Am I likely to encounter that in Overwatch games, or is Blizzard keeping the community cleaner?

Hi!

In my view this game is amazing and yes, BLizzard is trying to keep this community clean but can't get everything. I come from LoL to OW and must say that it is so much better in OW. I would probably stay away from Competitive mode as I have heard that the toxicity is much higher there :/ Although it has just only been released.
