Recommended Videos

Whether you’re into League of Legends, Dota 2, or are just some sort of MOBA-playing fiend — where do you find the time? — the message of this PSA video from Riot Games should ring true. Teamwork and keeping your cool are key to winning, and there’s data to support it.

Players with a record of positive behavior win 10 percent more games than the average player, according to Riot’s findings, while those with a report history will win 35 percent fewer games. We all have our bad days, sure. But keep this in mind next time you’re about to chat up a storm.
