A glaring problem with the community

Far too long have us LoL players dealt with toxicity in our matches... But it's getting worse. Much, much worse. On average, there is 2 toxic players per MATCH. I'm not just talking about the "fuck you" toxic players. I'm talking about the toxic players that go out of their way to make your life miserable. I wonder just how many new and veteran players quit because of the community.

I've been saying it for far too long now, Riot needs a zero tolerance policy. Of course, Riot won't do this. They LOVE their money. The problem is, they are making far less than what they used to, say, two years ago. The population of this game is decreasing, for more than just toxicity of course. But when the company itself is a cesspool of toxicity (cough, the sexism issues), then how are they even going to begin fixing the problem between the players?|

Rant over.

0 tolerance catchphrases already exist and they are punished all the time...

The way the game is right now has made people toxic. Balance,punishment system, matchmaking,etc

Lol way to just make up a bunch of shit. Nice. 2 toxic players in every match on average? Where do you get your data?

Since so many of you have requested data because you're lazy, here you go. Three links, with one having more credibility than others. https://www.unrankedsmurfs.com/blog/players-2017 https://lolsmurfaccounts.com/how-many-people-play-league-of-legends/ This third link was from a post in 2016 https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/09/13/riot-games-reveals-league-of-legends-has-100-million-monthly-players/#10ffd8365aa8

Estimated numbers for 2018? Around 80 million. Riot hasn't released an official statement on their numbers this year. I doubt they will.

And by the way, since I've made this post I've taken note of the toxic players in every match I've played since then. It averaged out to THREE players per match. THREE.
