Vote kick in champ select

Ishvalan Warrior·Oct 22, 2016·1 votes·320 views

I've been taking data on the games I play where the chat before the game is toxic, neutral, positive, or non-existent. So far over the last 3 months the only significant difference I have in win rate between these four variables is the toxic pre-chat condition. I've also held other covariates constant like the position I have and the current win-rate of the champion I'm playing as well as the position I'm in.

Can we please get an option to dodge a game without penalty at least once every 24 hours for pre-game chat toxicity. Or the option to vote to kick a toxic player before the game starts?

The problem with that is that the system would get abused, if your teammates don't like your champ pick (i.e. teemo/singed) then you'd get instakicked and never get to play the champ you want.

Valid concern for sure. If they have the technology for AI to look at chat logs in game and recognize toxic chat don't you think they could use the same AI in the champ select screen to trigger a toxic kick vote?

Like if someone says a racial slur or sends more than X number of messages all with the same characters the system could send out a "hey is toxicity happening" prompt. If not then the system uses that data to change it's algorithm to better detect toxicity. If so then you get a prompt to kick and provide a reason why. I think it's a possibility, for sure needs to be well thought out to avoid people kicking for specific champ selections.
