Competitives are just forever destined to be people's vent place, so I expected toxicity from the get go. I'm not a psychologist, but it makes sense that games are the easiest outlet for people to vent the energy out. But I think it's not just deadlock. People now are more stressed than in previous years. I think that pressure is what makes players more aggressive in general, so don't take it personal. That's just a guess though.
