I know I can mute all, but if you take it away I bet toxic chatters would have to figure out a way to be productive and not rage in game.

Unfortunately at that point you're also losing out on strategy discussion, which is fundamental to late-game, especially if pings don't get the point across enough.

Toxic people are terrible and can ruin games, but so can miscommunication about playmaking.

I really wish that were the case. It can absolutely be used for good things like that. In my experience that is not how most of the humans work on here. I see far more mob mentality, fighting, blaming, etc. then I do useful strategy.

Anonymity in text based internet media has shown to be more worse for the ware because it produces "online disinhibition effect"

I feel you. I've had more than my fair share of being harped on by teammates because I wasn't doing what they wanted, while they're on the other side of the map for whatever reason.

I find that the best remedy though is to make sure I try and keep the grossness out of chat, and at the very least attempt to be polite and positive until things are either overcome, or just plain over.

Fair enough. I like to play. I don't care if I win or lose. It's just about getting better or figuring out the mechanics. I'm just very worn down by how people treat other people.
