DotA 2 has got a system where each person has a community rating, based on some aggregate of your reports and interactions. If you have a good rating you get placed with others who have a similar rating. It's not perfect but my score has never not been maxed out and would say that solidly over 60% of my games are jovial and cooperative with people being communicative and friendly. I have friendships going on decades that started in that game, but also I continue to make friends to this day. I've got people in my book club I met on DotA last year. I've played some league and it's definitely a very different community feel. I also think that the fact that in DotA you are not able to surrender is incredibly important when it comes to the feel of the game and community. I think the single biggest mistake Riot made is allowing teams to surrender, it makes the game so much worse to even give people the possibility of giving up. DotA is a game you can win off a marginal mistake even till the bitter end, I'm glad the mechanics reflect that.
