Are they saying Overwatch and League of Legends aren't toxic cesspools?

    Depends entirely on how you play them. The secret to enjoying OW is not playing ranked, and quitting the game once you start getting bored.

    A game's quality is not always deterministic of the fanbase or playerbase's activities.

    A competitive game can have solid production quality, great optimization, and plenty of content to get immersed in, but still have players racing to the bottom of the social interaction barrel. Hard to fault the game itself for that.

    Yes they are toxic but they are ultimately still good games. That isn't even personal opinion, just due to the fact that they've been extremely popular for a decade proves that.

    Marvel movies have been extremely popular

    Pretty good comparison as most of OW players are casuals.

    Still, the game's had a ton of improvements over time, whereas movies aren't a live-service thing, bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

    The game itself has remained popular because it's received tons of updates in that decade, not because it was perfect at launch. Case in point: playing it's original build during events is not fun for long, and most players stop bothering very quickly.
