They've created separate casual and ranked play options now, so that problem is basically solved.

Not really. Many other competitive games have ranked and casual lobbies but that doesn't really stop sweats from going into casual lobbies to trash on casual players.

Casual lobbies have hidden MMR so you're still getting matched with people around the same skill level.

MMR is kinda crap and is readily manipulatable with little effort. If you want to tank your MMR in casual so you can go trash on people, it's incredibly simple.

Trolls and griefers unfortunately exist and have been a constant problem in any PvP game since the advent of PvP games.

Also, some people have bad mmr, not because they are bad players, but because they are so incredibly toxic that they either int when they don't get their way or they dog other players into playing poorly or inting themselves.

Hasn't been a problem for me so far

It's currently an invite only game, so the amount of trolls and griefers that would do that sort of thing are potentially being filtered.

Plus there is always the potential for "just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen."

As I mentioned elsewhere, getting an invite is the easiest thing in the world. It's doing absolutely nothing to filter trolls and griefers.
