I actually wonder how many people will receive this. Honestly, I see it more as an insult than a gift. With the way the report and ban systems work as well as past posts by Lyte or the Social Behavior team, I've felt that positivity from this game has been forced onto players. Better yet, retaliation of any kind against toxic players ends up getting innocent players punished instead. Grant it, there is a limit of what should be said (i.e. Dunkey went too far, then again he's already toxic) and what can be done. My point is that how can players expect to be sportsman-like when their feet are being dragged through a minefield (toxicity)?
I honestly don't care if I get the icon or not (because I doubt I'll use it often), but having Riot surprise us with this "gift" feels more insulting than rewarding. Sorry for being a negative nancy here and raining down on everyone's parade, but it really bugs me how a company with such flawed systems aimed at dealing with toxicity tries to force players to be positive and anyone who managed to put on a brave face and not wince at the shit thrown at them by toxic players get a little icon.
Other than that, congrats to those who got this icon and managed to put up with the toxicity. Either you're a brave soul or you have friends. I, on the other hand, will continue to leave games where my team refuses to cooperate, because I am not a tool and I refuse to be helpless.
