I will get a lot of down vote and flame but I'll say it I'm really glad Lyte is gone, he held a high paying position that in my opinion he did not even deserve.

-Promise a tribunal which took 2 years to work on but came out with this robot automatic suspend system.People who says the game got less toxic in my opinion is wrong he just replace the report system with a robot that does the job for them. People who verbal abuse has a way higher chance of getting suspended or ban then Intentional feed/afk on purpose.<<< If it took him 2 year's to make this robot system then dear hell you wasted your money on a PhD student. This system will automatically ban you if you get enough report even if you are defending yourself from some one who is verbal.

-Promise that this year 2 times he said it they would release SoloQ. To the people who defend him saying there were more people who worked on Dynamic and he doesn't have the only say in it is wrong in my opinion, he is the LEAD person on this system which is practically the leader Lyte worked on it and after 4 month after it's release and promise Solo Q in those 4 month 2 times he comes out and says he does not have anything to do with the Dynamic system any more even though he was the lead person. Yes every one has a say on the project but he is the LEAD person who automatically thinks that dynamic duo makes the game less toxic.

AFK/NEVER CONNECT IN RANK. <<<< This is what I'm really piss off about the most of all his promise If I recall he said he would work on a system that stops the game or lost is forgiven to players where they get afk or a person who never even connect at the start of the game. It's been over 5 YEARS since this game has came out and still we have a rank system where if a person doesn't even connect it still count as a lost. (Yes I know they are working on it and it's almost out but really? over 5 YEARS it took them to make this and Lyte just left so pretty much he never even finish on it at all).

Match making is a joke you can play normal and get 3 plat or even a diamond vsing players who never even reach level 30 yet.<Riot seem to dodge this question when people ask why this happens.

Makes fake statistic about how much the game is un toxic and that everyone actually likes Dynamic Q more then Solo Q, When asked about where does he get these statistic and for him to prove it he always ignore the question or change the subject.

He did do something at least which was made a system where if players were good they get a ribbon LOL which was never really a award to anyone until hextec, but before hextec the part that piss me off about Lyte was that he was about to take away players Season rank reward if they were ever suspended once. No if he want's to make a system where people get reward for being good then good for him but do not take other players season reward when it has nothing to do with toxic, it's just a way for him to be lazy and not make a real reward system for players (Thank god people made a uproar about this so he had to change his mind).

I really don't think he actually accomplish anything at all in the 5 years that he worked at Riot. Report system is a robot that doesn't really review anything but the verbal words and the report counts.

The only project that I see him even finish was Robot report system which took him 2 years, Dynamic duo which most of the player base hates and hextec. Other then that all the other promises he said he would work on never even got accomplished. You guy's can defend Lyte in the comment but to me he didn't really change league at all over the 5 years but held a high position with a high pay for something that really didn't even need a person to hire for if this was all he did in 5 years which seem like a waste of money.

If people want to defend him then please tell me what he actually accomplished while he worked at riot for 5 years.

"Fake statistics" -- Prove that they're fake. Prove that they're real. You can't either way. Schrödinger all over again.
"Most of the player base hates" -- Most of the boards hate. Surprisngly, boards don't represent the whole of the community.
"This system will automatically ban you if you get enough report even if you are defending yourself from some one who is verbal." -- Lol.

Regardless of what I say here, you've already made up your mind. Regardless of what he accomplished, or failed to accompish, you already have your opinion of him. And the way you wrote this, I'm assuming you've had at least one run-in with the moderation system. I wouldn't be surprised if it was multiple, and maybe a leaverbuster proc or two.

Yes you can prove statistics, tell us where and how he did it to get the result. Look on redditz then if you want more players base but base on redditz/board it seen like no one want's dynamic duo but it seems like you like dynamic duo? Tell me how the report system works then if you think you know how it works because that's pretty much how Lyte says it works by a robot other then his auto feed detection which he never tells anyone about it.

Judging by this you are trying your best to defend him.

Trying my best? No. This is just common sense.

I'm not arguing his statistics, you are. Prove them. Which you can't. Neither can I. Even if he decided to release them, ultimately statistics are a horrid argument, since they're incredibly easy to skew. You, and every other player would be arguing every single bias imaginable.

Using Reddit as a base to determine opinions of playerbase. Moving on.

"False positives." I have trouble with this one. I've played, probably 3k+ games over multiple accounts, probably more. Haven't gotten a chat ban, haven't gotten low priority que, haven't had any trouble at all. Save for 4.16, and the amazing server status. This isn't to say I haven't picked fights with people. But in general I'm not toxic, and haven't gotten banned. I have a friend who is always chat banned, or low priorityQ. Seems like the system is working where I'm at.

Nicely enough though, someone else has already put significantly more time and effort into responding to this post, and I'll defer to his/her expertise on the matter.

I wasn't here for his career in riot, so I am going to say support. :) The way you worded it makes it sound like he didn't do his job and deserved his indefinite fire.

See I already got down voted by players who doesn't even want to type in what he actually did for league. They defend him but can't say why he deserve the defence at all. (Also he didn't get fired he left the job).

You shouldn't need positive reinforcement to not be a douchebag. Eliminating rewards for players who were toxic was and is the way to go. It sends the message that no matter how skilled you are, you are a liability to the community if you are toxic. And before you make the self defense argument, being a victim of negativity is not an excuse to be negative. Self defense only holds up if you had reason to believe that your life was in danger. This is a video game. Your life is not in danger. Therefore selfdefense doesn't apply. Period

I agree that there should have been more emphasis on punishing feeders and trolls, but you cannot correlate that with an increase in bans for verbal toxicity, because toxic people deserve their bans. They require two very different systems to enforce because trolling is much harder to prove than toxicity. You are essentially complaining that thieves get punished less frequently than murderers even though prosecution requires very different types of evidence. Should we let the murderers off just because it's easier to prosecute them than thieves?

Statistics are always biased. Like winrates, they are only useful if factored into the big picture. Frequently they are used to distract from the big picture. Welcome to marketing.

I don't agree with everything Lyte did, but I also disagree with most of the things you said. These are complaints borne of self victimization and each one undermines your credibility.

Lyte got a lot of shit done. That's why all the childish prats who got themselves banned hate him. If Lyte had not gotten shit done, there wouldn't be as many people crying fake bullshit about how they "got banned for no reason".

I agree he accomplished way too little for the 5 years he worked at Riot. After 2 years I do think the robot system is working decent and the toxicity has decreased in my games, heck even I reformed! But I think enforcing dynamic cancer and cancelling solo que on a community that never asked for it is what killed him.
