Related Subreddits. GO was fun mechanically when I played it, but the constant berating and kick votes and basically everything about the community really killed the desire for me to git gud with it. I'm not saying that I need to have everyone be nice to like a game, but getting Steam comments from people after having a shitty match (not even due to my skill, I just kept spawning bad in Arms Race, which happens to everyone really) just makes the game feel more like a chore sometimes. TF2 is fun but everyone I know who plays it has 1000's of hours on it and I have 2hrs. I really don't want to play with them since I don't like feeling like the idiot at MIT but don't want to explain that to them so I just don't play.
