What counts as toxicity?
The title says it all. What counts as toxicity and what seems like it, but doesn't count?
I do want this one answered: "I'm not going to gank you since you have been talking shit." Proceeds to gank the lane anyways

everything. its vague. riot wont put it to a definition.
also if you dont win and are camped and get killed a few times its the same thing as if you legit just run it down mid according to the player base
The Summoner's Code describes how Riot would prefer people behave while playing their game. And it goes beyond prefer...we are required to adhere to the Summoner's Code as part of the terms of service.

You aren't going to find a specific definition of "toxicity" anywhere. What the Summoner's Code boils down to is pretty simple - don't be a jerk to people and doing ruin anyone's fun.
Im sure I wont think of everything but just generally it is harassing people, insulting them, doing things with the intent to annoy someone or ruin someone's experience, condescension, spamming chat, pointing out mistakes for no reason (if someone wants advice and you point out mistakes, then you have a reason), umm just generally being a jerk.
Rito considers literally everything as toxic these days
Being toxic. [slayer-jinx-catface]
Not inting when the game is forcing you to lose. riot hates that.
Basically, any kind of behaviour or style of communication that not only risks emotional harm to other participants, but also achieves no significantly higher objective.
Ill say this. Remove chat entirely. Its useless and no one has anything useful to say. Even if you arnt being toxic some moron is RPing in all chat or talking about random shit instead of actually playing the game, which ends up ruining games because some guy dies multiple times while typing "lol i was typing. Rude" shit is infuriating.
