Toxicity.

z0x·Feb 5, 2017·2 votes·545 views

Soooo everybody knows that Leagues community is, in all probability, the worst. I wish I could find my excel sheet I had going, proving that in my experience, the vast majority of my games contained flamers, or people of general toxicity. Anyways, I was wondering if there was a way to permanently disable chat? I know you can turn all chat off, but I cant find a way to turn off communication with my team. Nothing besides manually muting everyone once i enter game.

Problem with that is I sometimes forget, or miss a person. Next thing I know, my chat is getting flooded with fun-killing, flaming, go KYS stuff that I just dont want to see anymore. Was wondering if someone knew anything about this and how I might implement this change for myself.

Thanks in advance!

/mute all or resize the chat window to insanely small and drag it off screen

I don't agree with anyone when they make such a bold claim as you did League is the "worst" community I disagree based on the grounds of lack of evidence We can all bring our personal stories to argue a point that we're right but that is meaningless as I didn't experience your events nor you mine.

Data is needed, lots of data is needed In fact to even begin to do a reasonable analysis no less than 100 users input should be considered In addition it would require more than just the basic event chain. You'd need a metric to prove anything Survey the 100 random users that are spaced proportionally throughout the rankings Get them to record 100 games and do 100 surveys about those games

My bet is out of those 10000 games less than 1000 would be considered toxic sure thats higher than riots statement, but since we're not using a larger sample size I feel 10% is a fair guess

let me know if you want to really do that survey to prove your point

I don't understand why this is an exaggeration of their point. This is not a professional argument; this is a point they most likely made based on what --as you've said--they've experienced. So, that 'point' they make (The League community being one of the worst) is probably generalized, and although (like as you've said) the community may not be THE worst due to the lack of data, it can still qualify as being one of the worst in means of toxicity if there is a substantial amount of people who feel the same way/experienced it themselves firsthand; that's partially why there is even a mute button implemented in the game. As you've said, Riot has also made a statement about this themselves--is the own company who owns this game not credible? There is no need to run a survey or to seek specific numbers on an argument like this when evidence is not solely based upon numbers, opinions from multiple people can also be used to. Your reply in itself is half irrelevant since it mostly criticizes a single thing you yourself don't agree with, all you had to say is: "/mute all or resize the chat window to insanely small and drag it off screen"

instead of arguing this notion which has nothing to do with anything they asked for. Geesh. "You'd need a metric to prove anything" Then I guess a good 70% of what everybody on this forum has said is meaningless since none of their points have been analytically proven.

Who is more likely to complain? Someone who is punished or a bystander? Who is going talk more someone being directly affected by the system or those unaffected

70% of what people come to the boards with is a complaint that they themselves can't truly invest time into properly figuring out how to solve. So yes, most of the posts here are meaningless Ever wonder why riot/support staff/mods reply to only say 30% of the forum posts?

The company admits that the game has problems and they're addressing them The company has data to verify all of that a user, thinks a problem exists solely because he had an experience that unlike data can't truly be understood 100% Numbers can't lie, people can
