This is why skill-based matchmaking is important
Unfortunately, this doesn't stop the toxicity. I always found it strange when people insult me for being bad. Like, dude, we have the same MMR. You are as terrible as me!
I often wonder if those people actually are more skilled than their MMR implies, but they lose a nontrivial amount of games by being toxic and tilting teammates. Cursed to always be surrounded by inferior players because of their own attitude.
Perhaps, some people could have a higher MMR with a better attitude. But it's more likely that the vast majority of them simply don't see how bad they are or they can't accept it.
