Hello and good day to any readers,

tl;dr: I'm a coward, is flaming in pvp games common?

I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I could not find any more fitting category.
Unfortunately I suffer from pretty severe self-worth issues and pretty much all I know from pvp are commented games on youtube of semi- or high-rank. Very often in these games I see a LOT of flaming of teammates and, not gonna lie, I don't have a particularly high mental fortitude for this kind of thing. However, I've never played any pvp games, because im afraid of exactly this. And because of this I have thus far only played coop or survival.

So my question in the end is: Is this common occurance or are these games outliers? Just in higher skill games or everywhere?

Thank you for reading.
Have a good day.

Thank you so much for the fast replies and honesty, it is quite unfortunate that it is quite common. I quite enjoy playing in teams, so 1v1s aren't very interesting to me. I did host plenty of PvE games before i took a break, but I would have wanted to test myself against real players, learn metas, build orders, etc. I think there is a lot of fun to be had in that. Sadly, if flaming is so common, that is just not an option for me
I did see very competent AI's being made by the community who would be quite a challenge, but I REALLY prefer playing in teams.....I'm just weird like that.
All things considered......maybe I'll have a go at it again, but surely not pvp by the looks of it.

Again, thank you so much for your time.
Have a good day!
