Yeah the issue is how fucking toxic the CS community is. I'm usually pretty numb to people talking shit but my god, I always remember why I stopped playing CS every time I reinstall to play it again.

While the community is generally garbage, Valorant and LoL have even worse chats, text or voice. I get chill teammates more often in CS than elsewhere.
Last I played was in 2018 I think. I don’t remember many problems, even on the Silver ranks I played. Maybe every third game or so, some griefer or abusive player would get voted off the team, which was fairly frustrating but not always catastrophic to the game.
Every third game one player would get voted off the team in a 5v5 game, and you don't remember many problems? That's a serious issue, it absolutely isn't normal.
They updated the game so that you don’t get a bot anymore. This greatly decreased the amount of vote kicking.
It has been toxic since I started playing cs way back in 2000.
