The "This season has the lowest toxicity" claim ; Is it sourced?

Having been reading forums most of my life, since back during the era of ancient internet.... I am very skeptical of claims made by anyone on the internet, however... in the back of my proverbial mind I remember someone with authority making the statement that indeed, we are playing in an era with the lowest toxicity that has ever been observed.

Now, did I hallucinate such a thing or is it true? I attempted some google searches but turned up nothing.

If it is true, its probably because people have become more complacent. The game more than ever feels like players individually have less impact on matches.

Personally I feel as though the matchmaking is a bit of a circus at the moment and detracts from the fun of the game. Especially at low elo, the game feels a lot like luck of the draw in relation to teammates. With the change of the q to include people specifying lanes, I didn't expect this to be the case.

This could contribute to the complacency.

I have a post where I go into detail about what I think is wrong and how it could perhaps be fixed. The more opinions I can get the better.

Ummm who ever said that and when you say authority I assume riot? If and when they made that statement would be a factor. I would also say there full of it. Trying to sweep the toxic nature under the rug vs dealing with it. I still to this day find how toxic lol has become on Google or you tube and why people from years ago are leaving. My account says I have 24 friends. None of them play anymore. Back before Christmas everyone was asking all the time about other gaming online. What does that tell you. Now it nor I speak for the community but my opinion is it is worse. Enough that I play less games a day and I have to mute ever lobby because I know I will type something I shouldn't out of frustration. Maybe its me. Idk.

It probably is true but I don't think I have ever seen anyone from Riot say anything like that.

I'm curious what sparked this cause I don't see people say it very often.

it's the lowest because everyone types /mute all at the start of every game?
