Community Generosity Experiment

I was just in a game where I asked my teammates to gift me an Ashe skin. My Thresh said, "I wonder how many people would actually gift you if you asked that 100 games in a row." It was a good question and I wanted to know the answer, so here I am. I'm conducting an experiment to see how many generous people there are in the LoL community (Or at least in my ELO, Gold). I will play 100 games, and at the start of each game, ask my teammates if they can gift me afterwards. I will record people's responses and tally up how many skins I have obtained through this method. My hypothesis is 0. P.S. I'm doing this because i've had multiple occasions where I asked my teammates for a mystery gift and they either responded rudely (Stfu noob, go get a job, etc.) or they promised me a skin if I did a good job, then fled the lobby after I did really well. I'm curious to see out of a large number of games, how many times will I get a response of each kind. This is mostly just for fun and to get an answer to that Thresh's question. Obviously, the results won't be 100% accurate, and won't directly prove how many generous people are in the LoL Community. Games are being played in ranked solo queue.

Legend Rood = BM response of the manner stated above, instead of politely declining. Liar = Promised me a skin for doing well, then left the lobby as fast as possible to avoid having to gift me. MB = My bad. I was promised a skin if I did well, but then failed to do well. Gifted = Actually was gifted afterwards (Will write summoner's name and thank them here)

*I will update this post with results once I have played 100 games. What do you guys think of this experiment? Let me know in the poll below! :D

This is a good idea, but beware: according to my statistics, over 70% of the people in League are toxic. However, since you're at Gold V, you shouldn't encounter as much toxic people (assuming you have a good MMR), so good luck with your experiment! Also, it may be wise to make a google docs excel and put its link on this page.
