Hello,

I have a question. Everytime i play with a friend who is toxic. I got toxic teammate or trashy player.
Everytime i play solo i have normal game who aren't too easy but aren't impossible neither.

It happend on a lot of game. So does matchmaking flag people who get most report to make them play with each other to protect other's or is this just a big coincidence?

There's not such system in League, as far as we know. Unless something was introduced and there was no announcement, i think it's just a simple escalation of the problem, caused by bad behavior. Your buddy provokes people to behave in a certain, toxic way.

Riot took a strong stance against "prisoner's island" matchmaking since they want players to reform, which is way more challenging if your environment is exclusively toxic. That's why modern prisons look like nice hotels instead of blocks of concrete and metal. (Seriously, take a look at Norway's Halden Prison.)

But as GreenKnight already said, it's possible that your friend is the main cause of toxicity in your games.

NA and Mexican prisons are still concrete and metal. They are decades behind modern prisons in westeurope.

Prisons in west Europe also don't have to house half a dozen different races and cultures. It is far more likely to have BRUTAL gang warfare when prisoners are, from before they get to prison, divided along such lines. I really would want to see one of these US prison critiques come up with a system that both satisfies their humane criteria, and stops gangs from butchering each other.

I don't believe in races. It's just the cultural background and socialization. The goal is to resocialize the prisoners in jail. If you treat certain ethnicities like apes they will behave like apes.

Yeah well, you may not believe in races, but 90% of inmates do, and that gives them enough motivation to form gangs based on racial identity.

Unfortunately that's because many prisons in America at least are now privately run. So the companies running them will run them as cheaply as possible.

Possible i have a friend like that too he didn't write a thing for like the 15 first minute and the chat was toxic without him. But when i tag solo i have way less toxicity. i find it strange but maybe it's just a mix between his mmr a bit lower and the fact that he respond to toxic by more toxicity while i ignore it and play my game.
