I'm doing a little experiment

Upvote or downvote, IDC, but I'll be updating this per game, just to see if that "only 5% of people are toxic enough even for a chat restriction" is accurate

I'm going to play a bunch of games, and after every game post how many people, if any, I report for toxcity

I'll start with the game I just played

Game 1: Reported an annie who was flaming even in pre-game lobby and who ragequit the game on his/her first death and also reported a rager tristana who was telling me I had no place even speaking, to turn off my chat and never speak again because that would be better for everybody.

Game 2: Reported and flaming Lee Sin claming to be a diamond main telling me I'm absolute garbage, trying to troll on my build and literally refusing to help me at all despite me being hard camped by the enemy jungler and top laner, also claimed to have multiple permabanned diamond mains little snippit from his chat:

TheOneTrueBrand: you were toxic from the first minute Lee Sin: and you just suck dick TheOneTrueBrand: and you literally refused to help me at all Lee Sin: I legit was carrying so hard and you died 40 times TheOneTrueBrand: despite me pinging for help Lee Sin: LOOK AT YOUR BUILD Lee Sin: WHY WOULD I HELP YOU Lee Sin: YOUR FUCKING BRONZE TheOneTrueBrand: my build huh Lee Sin: YOUR BUILD IS DISGUSTING (according to him RoA is a garbage item for Brand)

Game 3: First decent, friendly game I've had in a long while. Karma kept saying Ni***r but I think it was being used sarcastically as a joke towards the Lucian, so meh.

Game 3 will be the last one for tonight as it's midnight where I am right now

I kinda think I might wanna do one of these every day, just for the hell of it, to actually see exactly how many toxic people I run into daily.

How are you going to accurately assess the results of your reports? You are not notified of a punishment unless your report was the last straw which triggered the review, and it doesn't tell you what kind of punishment it was. It takes a lot more than one report for that to happen, so no accurate data can be drawn from your experiment.

only 5% of people are toxic enough even for a chat restriction

For you to accurately check this statistic, you would need to know if these people receive chat restrictions.

Results based on his conclusions. If he reports 1 person per game will lead to 10% toxicity in game but 100% overall as 100% games required at least 1 report granted he is looking for reports observational bais at its finest betting several if not all games will have at least 1 report

edit I'm interested to see where this goes, gl brave league player

The problem with this method is that there is no way for you to know whether the players 'you' find deserving of punishment would be found deserving of punishment in the overall system or by most other players. You can't determine that another player is/is not toxic, only that you reported them as such.

At best this will give you an idea of how your own reporting frequency matches up Riot's reported statistic. Additionally, due to the low number of games and your presence in every game this will likely be better at informing you about how your own behavior affects games, causing them to deviate from the reported average.

Basically, coming from a single person you just don't have the vantage point to make any conclusions about anything but yourself as compared to reported statistics from Riot. And the low number of games played will likely make even that questionable.

I hope you won't purposely trigger them to skew the results.

Wake me when your sample size is 10,000+

you're the leader of this train, we're just here for the show/data at this point. If you feel the rage people throw out is worthy to your case, by all means show us everything(minus the summoners name)

Reminder to count yourself as one of the toxic players in every game.
