Curbing abusive behavior in games

There's a critical difference between League of Legends and Mafia though.

Being toxic in LoL distracts you from the game and helps your team lose.
Being toxic in Mafia, or at least being high strung and abrasive, carries your team to a win.

It's not about like abusing people as much as it's about being generally salty and uncooperative while seeming vs being positive that your reads are right as town/scum.

Remember when I won that NY despite mechanical autoloss because I was sufficiently douchey on day 1 to be townread beyond a shadow of a doubt?

I just did a quick compilation of games. In short,

There's been two games where if I had been less of a stubborn dick we'd have won.
There's been 27 games where if I'd been more of a stubborn dick we'd have won.
