Devs: please address the toxicity in post game chat

Tonight alone, I've had racial and homophobic slurs thrown at me in the postgame chat on more than one occasion. I'm not particularly bothered or upset on a personal level, but I know I'm not the only one this is happening to. I reported each incident, but these people wouldn't be doing it if they weren't routinely getting away with it. These weren't new players (purple and red rank players). Super fun experience tonight. Literally every game that I had multiple kills, multiple people d/c'd so I couldn't pip or I got called the N word. What do I tell someone when they ask if they should buy this game?

    Report them. The solution is there, but people don't use it.

    Report them

    though also an additional measure to combat toxicity the devs could take is to censor particularly harmful words. sure there may be ways around a filter but its a step

    i wish the chat was made to only pregame. And i wish killer could participate. I know i'm a minority on this one.

    Some of the post game chat salt I see is just boringly predictable regurgitated drivel seemingly churned out by poorly programmed npc's I swear. I mean at least put some conscious effort, creativity and imagination into it right? lol

    Welcome to the internet. Grow a backbone because even though you're saying it doesn't offend you, it clearly does since you're coming here to post about it.

    Or... just don't use the chat? There's a button to close it.

    Happiness and self acceptance can only come from within?
