I have always been a fan of the Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition community.

I have also dabbled in other competitive games like Counter Strike Global Offensive and Dota, and I am glad that the number of griefers in AOE2 DE is relatively low.

However, when I play team games at the 1400-1600 ELO range, it seems like there is an increasing number of toxic players and griefers.

I can’t help but wonder if I’m imagining things, but it seems like every game I play, somebody on my team or the enemy team is deleting their Town Center, villagers, and army, or spamming nonsense in the chat.

This was a rare occurrence in the past, but now it’s happening all the time.

What’s causing this sudden surge of toxicity?

TG with random members is probably the “most toxic” setting you can choose.

I would highly recommend just finding someone to play with – it will make way more fun that way.

The higher you climb on the ladder the less frequently toxic behavior will be there since all players involved spent already hundreds or thousands of hours in training this masterpiece and everyone knows that the enemy probably did the same to get there to face you.

Played some team games today, lost 3 games in a row because a teammate left within the first 5 minutes.

I do think they are griefing but they’ve always been present.
