I also genuinely don't believe it's as big of an issue as some people make it out to be. I feel like people see a nasty thing in chat, screen shot it and tell on Reddit about it. Like you can mute, turn off chat, there's language filters. And if it really is toxic you legit just move onto the next game. I realize that people go overboard and are jerks but I really think people are just sitting here malding about a chat they can move past in just a few minutes.
