Hello all,
I’d like to share my horrendous experience I’ve had with a player by the name of "j a m s ide" (Steam username: edizmaj, Steam ID: 76561198333108412).
I’ve invested over 600 hours into this game and I've enjoyed every second of it, particularly because of its competitive nature, even at this early stage of its development. However, competition can sometimes bring out the worst in people, and my encounters with 'j a m s ide' over the past few weeks have proven exactly that.
Despite my efforts to remain calm and focused, regardless of in-game situations or others' remarks, his behaviour towards me has been unacceptable, especially now that ranked play has been introduced. 'j a m s ide,' who is also a prominent streamer, has harassed me in nearly every game we’ve played together. While I understand the competitive drive, the desire to win, and even the need to put on a show for his viewers, his behavior has crossed every line.
I am now formally asking that this type of behavior not be tolerated, even from someone with his level of popularity. No matter how big a streamer someone is, no one should be allowed to degrade others like this in a playtest—or in any game. Enough is enough.
I’m hoping that Valve will stand by its policy of addressing toxic behavior, especially during such an important testing phase. And will hopefully show him that Valve treats all players as equal and his confidence in acting however he wants, saying whatever he wants will have consequences as they would to other people.

Thank you for taking the time to address this matter.
