PSA: Riot wants you to have a shitty gameplay experience.

Here's the gist- children and young users buy more RP, per account, because they've got less impulse control and seek instant gratification. By encouraging behavior that causes chat 'toxicity' (gameplay toxicity, such as feeding, griefing, and "AFK" farming) Riot can ban large swathes of players simply for having a human reaction to someone intentionally ruining what should be a fun experience. The more they ban, the better their discipline statistics look to concerned parents, who then become more likely to reward their child's investment in the game buy purchasing in-game goods for them- until that child is banned by the system at some point, having made a habit of spending RP. Too ashamed to admit to their 'misbehavior', they lie to their parents for the RP to rebuild their lost collection- and the cycle continues. Riot's end goal is to have a 20% troll rate, give or take, so that every game has at least 2 players fostering 'toxicity' through 'undetectable' in-game actions.

nah this is some tinfoil hat shit.

As a long time player I've seen the community evolve and become much less toxic. It used to be a lot worse and Riot has done a very good job cleaning it up. If you think that means we're having a worse game experience I want whatever you're smoking.

How do you suppose they are encouraging people to rage anyway? You didn't give a single example.

were you here for S1/2/3? You know when the community was INSANELY more toxic? Back then people like Tyler1 and Shaclone the ones who decide to tilt if their One Trick was banned. Those people were super common that you get AT LEAST 1 every game maybe more. Now it's like finding one of those people once every 10+ games.

You can also go 1 step further with your thesis and claim that Riot is contracted by the secret service agents and new world order to create a game, that will be backed by the stock market elites to be the most popular game, with the sole intention to get all people hooked and make them all grumpy and divided so that the world is easier to herd and control.

You know, might as well crank up the level if we wanna talk BS, so that people know you're utterly oh so serious?

Someone call the Vague Yet Menacing Government Agency or the Sheriff's Secret Police, I found their next recruit.

But most children can't impulsively buy RP because they don't have money.
