Everyone is missing the point on rewarding positivity.
I just read a post on how unrewarding it is for a positive league players, and a lot of the posts were along the lines of "we shouldn't be rewarding for things people should be doing like not being a douche/ass/etc." what I don't understand is that these same people likely hate how toxic this game can be at times, but don't think we should be doing something that could change it, and even benfit you if you aren't an ass? While yes we shouldn't have to reward someone for this because it won't happen in real life (as others mentioned) riot is in the position to where they could do this, so I ask why not? Regardless I would also like to say I would love to see a more strict punishment system on toxicity, I feel it needs said that research has shown people respond better to a rewards system than a punishment system.
