Does anyone else think that "only 5% of players are toxic enough to be punished" is horseshit?

I mean every single game I play there's at the very least 1 guy raging and flaming and blaming everyone else, at the LEAST.

I also often get people telling everyone to kill themselves, uninstall, drink bleach, that they should have been aborted... I mean I get just a steaming smelly bile of toxic spewing into my face every game I play anymore.

If you're trying to tell me only 5% of people get even so much as a chat restriction then your system is busted because I have toxic players in 100% of my games, no matter how nice I try to be to them.

Hell I got a chat restriction on this account without even saying a single insult, just being passive aggressive, but the guys straight up telling people to kill themselves because they're the scum of the earth, the people calling everyone garbage and telling them to uninstall, the people spam pinging mia on his teammates body every single time they die, the guys intentionally refusing to help their own teammates, the ones intentionally feeding, the flamers, and the ragers I get in every game without fail almost never get punished.

There's FAR more than 5% of the playerbase DESERVING of punishment, but the truly toxic people always get off scott-free and the people that just get irritated by these toxic players and end up saying something toxic because they're now in a bad mood are the main ones getting punished. /rant

sorry this just bugs be that I run into toxic players every single game (usually there's more than one) and somehow riot claims that I should only be getting this in 5% of my games and is SO very proud of that "fact" tat simply isn't true.

I'm playing on a new account I made now just to test out new champions, and I swear if I could get the last 20 games worth of chat logs copy-pasted to the boards, every single one of them would have either hate speech, someone telling everyone to kill themselves, someone just outright raging at everyone, or someone intentionally feeding, it's gotten out of control.

This is getting downvoted? Me saying that people who are toxic should get punished and the system should be stricter?

sad day for the league community.

There are almost 100 million registered accounts, so regardless of if those accounts are in use that 5% statistic seems accurate.

Of course you are going to have a toxic person. They could be having a bad day. It is the people that have a history of being toxic get banned/punished.

Agree 100%. Punish everyone who is ruining a game for someone else. Not just the magical few at the bottom 5%. GIve out penalties to 50% if they're toxic. It's every single game now... something has to give.

you have to remember over 50% of the overall accounts are bots that dont get punished for anything. that skews the percentages. so its actually 10% of real players. 10 players in a game = 1 toxic person in each game on average.

it all adds up.

Is Their A Citation on this 5% Number?

They only want to punish the people who are being excessively negative to the game. Sure, maybe 20% of people are 'kind of toxic' meaning they are negative a large % of their games, but not a majority. While 5% are negative almost every game and certainly deserve to be banned.

I base these percentages off of my past games. About 1/5 of my games has someone who is 'kind of toxic' but not really deserving of a report. And then maybe 1/20 games I'll get people who are super toxic who flame all game and are definitely reportable.

As much as I want to report that guy who is 1v5'ing without the team and then calling us noob feeders.. if that's the only thing he says all game I probably won't report him. But I will consider reporting someone who continually 1v5's without the team, because that is very close to intentional feeding.

I dont know who you play against but I rarely get people I feel are toxic. I only actually report people every 25 or so games. I might say i run into a poor sport every like 7 to 10 games. but usually its pretty obvious that they could just be having a really bad game. And I dont count games where the entire game falls apart into name calling as toxic per se. as usually it isnt really name calling, its just blaming and raging. There is actually a diference between being upset and tilting and typing about how its someone elses fault and actually being toxic.

I upvoted it, I think stricter consequences, aren't necessarily a terrible thing. After all, Its not like the trually toxic variety really invest much capital into league to begin with. Most of the skins they get are gifted, or perhaps a christmas present.
