Stress, mostly. The pressure to perform and anxiety to be screamed at for causing a loss. Ranked PvP has always, in any game, been the most toxic part of the community since it comes with the highest stakes that are often entirely dependent on other players. There are plenty of people who do not PvP at all for that exact reason, though at least in unranked you only waste the time for that particular match, not also risk the rank of your teammates.

It is actually a big enough problem that WoW added a PvE mode to the PvP weekly rotation a few years back to get people to interact with the gamemodes they made for PvP. And it was so wildly popular it caused issues with the queue system.
