is it a coincidence that on average on the boards people who say they've been banned are usually higher elo players than the ones who respond and say they deserved it.
I'm not asking weather or not there's a correlation between rank and the boards or any other nonsense I'm literally asking this :
IS IT A COINCIDENCE? YES OR NO
The answer is yes, it is a coincidence. And further, it's pointless to care about the supposed point that "banned players are usually a higher rank than the people who tell them that their punishment was justified", because when it comes to Player Behavior, Rank literally doesn't matter.
IS IT A COINCIDENCE? YES OR NO
Probably not a complete coincidence, given that from the studies I remember seeing players at the top of gaming tend to be younger, and younger individuals are also often more likely to vent toxicity in video games. It's definitely not a STRONG correlation, but there likely is one there on aggregate.
As a result I wouldn't be shocked to hear that toxicity increases slightly (percentage-wise) in high MMRs. I obviously have no actual evidence of this though.
I see a bunch of silvers and bronzes.
Confirmation bias
You're only seeing higher ELO people complain about being banned on the boards because those people felt that they have lost the most from their ban, and thus feel a need to bring their grievances to Riot. They've not only lost whatever money they've spent in the game, but also the hours to get to their higher rankings - so they of course feel especially indignant and entitled. Sure, there are some lower ELO people too, but they are fewer because they don't feel the need to vent since they've not invested as much time and energy rising through the ranks.
And it doesn't matter what rank the people are who respond to them, that's irrelevant. Your ranking does not protect you or give you freedoms to be an asshole to people.
