I think if rito wants to actually attempt to fix the "toxicity" problem

They need to do some root cause analysis. Their system simply isn't working.

Riot Games does appear to be a leader in the industry on how they handle player behaviour. They gather TONS of data in the game and they keep all of it. They also change and test different ways to prevent toxicity, and appear to have made very good progress in combating it.

You can learn more about the behaviour systems, and how they gather data in Lyte's Game Developer Conference talks from this year, and 2013. They are actually quite interesting to watch: 2015 - http://gdcvault.com/play/1022160/More-Science-Behind-Shaping-Player 2013 - http://gdcvault.com/play/1017940/The-Science-Behind-Shaping-Player

I watched this silly thing. He thinks changing the color font at the loading screen fixes toxicity. If rito was the leader in player behavior, then people wouldn't be complaining constantly that toxicity has gotten WORSE. It has gotten worse because they aren't addressing the causes of it. Instead, rito allows the players that make others rage to run rampant throughout the game. Instead of punishing 1 player for trolling, they would rather punish the countless players that the 1 caused to be "toxic".

The priming stuff wasn't exactly invented by them this has been around for some time now. I wont claim to have any insight on this but you obviously don't either. He doesn't claim it fixes toxicity, only that it reduced it.

The majority of people complaining about toxicity are never going to see an improvement because they are the source of the toxicity in their games. Pretty much everyone I play with has noticed a significant improvement. Personally I had almost quit about a year ago because it was so bad and now I probably report 1 or 2 people a month.

Trolls are an issue that need to be taken care of, but they are not the only reason(not even a common reason, in my experience). I've played thousands of games and ive seen only a handful of trolls but probably thousands of ragers.

Lmfao. Riot is garbage. They aren't a leader in anything. Their science isn't science... it's useless garbage. I say nothing in my games worth banning for, yet I'm constantly chat restricted, or ranked restricted. I JUST got my ranked restriction down to 2 games, and off of chat restriction for 3 games, and the next game I hop into, I've got chat restriction and my ranked restriction is back to 35.

The problem is that morons like this Kao kid, and the idiots at RIOT, think that they can help toxicity by putting restrictions. All the restrictions do to me is piss me off and make me more toxic. I don't even like playing normals, so every game I have to play just pisses me off more.

Their "science" is garbage, much as they are. At this point, I honestly would NOT help any riot tribunal employee that was dying right in front of me. I would just watch, and be like, "Sorry, can't help, I'm restricted".

If you talked to people in game the way you are talking to people in this thread, throwing "kid," "garbage," and "idiot" around, than you likely do deserve to have chat restrictions. If you can't see why saying those things, and telling people you would watch them die, is not acceptable behaviour in any context, than you are likely a cause of the toxicity in any game you play.

I would encourage you to think about how your words actually contribute to a discussion. Ask yourself if what you say will actually improve yours or anyone else's experience before saying something. I'll bet if you spend less time attacking people with your words, your overall experience in life will improve immensely.

To be fair, it is acceptable behavior in some contexts. League of legends boards, however, is certainly not that context xD.
