"Players who abuse... lose 16% more games"

GigglesO··5 votes·577 views

So is losing a function of abuse, or is abuse a function of losing? How I see it is Riot is stating a correlation as a fact. As we know, correlation is not causation.

The complete quote is:** "Players who verbally abuse their teammates lose 16% more games."**

How are they stating a correlation as a fact? It's implied, that if you are verbally abusing your allies that you are more likely to lose, among other factors, but no where is it stated that you WILL lose if you verbally abuse your allies. I've been verbally abused before and have won a game (vice versa).

it's probably a feedback loop

Because flaming your teammates will increase your chances of a comeback in a losing game.
