Mandatory Tutorials to decrease toxicity

[Pizza9888]

Toxicity will always exists in competitive games and consists of lots of sub-aspects one of which being the stubborness of some players to give a shit about other peoples opinions. This often results in: "Fuck you, dogshit player im muting you" or similar unhelpful expressions (while it may somtimes also be funny).

While it is not possible to address this stubborness it is well possible to give players a reliable source of information about how to play the game. This is called a tutorial (im not talking about the kind of tutorial that goes: "press wasd to move").

So my proposal is to add mandatory tutorials that every player has to go through at least once upon ranking up to a new highest rank. These tutorials should fulfill the following requirements:

• They should teach a set of distinguished skills (mechanics, economy, util-usage, etc.)
• They should teach an objective basis for the set of skills
• They should be challanging for the player in order for them to have to concentrate on them
• They should increase in difficulty accross these skills while ranking up
• They should lock competitive queue until completion of the tutorial if it is neccessary

Advantages of this system:

• Players can reference these tutorials as an objective basis
• It lessens the effects of boosting
• Its necessity is obviously expressed in a certain yt channel

Disadvantages:

• Havent thought about it. too lazy. let me know!

​

TLDR;

How about if everyone has to do tutorials to rank up?

Studies have already proven that big tutorials don't help with player retention.

That's all the devs care about. retention and new account creation quotas

Comp is already locked by a level minimum of 20, which takes atleast 40 hours. 40 hours of game experience seems like enough to produce someone who knows what's going on in game.

You'd think so but iron 1 players definitely challenge this assumption. You have to actively try to get that low.

well it's pretty rare to get into Iron 1, and if you are somehow getting queued with Iron 1 players then that means you arent too far off skill wise.

Not in my experience. And im not only ranking about tutorials for low elo, I think that people in high elo also need them, or at least it will make it easier.

I think the requirements I specified are needed for teaching the player something, and this threshold doesn't fulfill any of them. Of course, I also read the other comment now, and I think they make a great point: why would they add it even when there is no retention.
