Dead by Daylight players rank as the third most hostile, with 17,160 searches each year from gamers looking to take action upon others’ unfriendly behaviour. A lot of players put the abuse down to being new in hopes that it’ll get better and they’ll be welcomed, with others stating that turning the chat option off is the most effective way of combating the toxicity.
The fourth most antagonistic gamers are Apex Legends players. ManySpins.com found that every year 12,960 fans turn to Google to find justice amid the hate received.

How are players negatively affected by online games?
ManySpins.com also surveyed 1,980 players worldwide to uncover how much other players affect their online gaming experience.
They found that almost 7 in 10 (68%) gamers have had their day ruined by a negative online player who has destroyed their mood. An additional 61% state that they have been made to feel uncomfortable by comments made by others during live chats whilst playing online.
Over half of players (54%) admit to being pushed out or having to force quit an online game due to bullies.
This year many games have sprung to the top of the popularity charts, bringing new and fun player experiences. However, almost 3 in 5 (57%) believe that once certain games spike in popularity it correlates with players becoming more aggressive and consequently attracting a more toxic player base.
Ultimately this has led to more than 2 in 5 (43%) ditching specific games due to the negativity that online play brings.
Methodology:
-
ManySpins.com utilised SEMrush and Ahrefs’ Google search volume tool to find the number of people looking to report users. The average monthly search volumes were multiplied by 12 to collate a yearly total. Terms such as ‘Report [game/console] user’, ‘Report [game/console] player’, ‘Report [game/console] account’, ‘Report someone on [game/console], ‘[game/console] abuse’ and similar variations were used to find the totals. ManySpins.com analysed the search volumes from the USA, UK, Canada and Australia to get a larger worldwide view. Common abbreviations for each game were also counted, for example ‘Report COD player’ and ‘Report Call of Duty player’ were both included in the study.
