Tons of initiatives going on in MOBAs to work on the toxicity problems, I hope they are working!

I usually end every turbo game with "ggwp, have a great evening everyone", and commend all of the other nine players unless someone was being an asshole (regardless of whether we won or lost, or whether that player performed well). I can't remember a time when Dota 2 was ever friendlier than it is now (been playing for over a decade now, since beta)… at least, in Turbo. I'm sure the other "full" modes still have quite a bit of nastiness as the games run longer there than in Turbo.

the whole reason I play the game is what TFA is talking about, syncing up and pulling off cool shit with four other random people against five other random people online. when it works it's incredible.

Really good mindset!
