Hidden "toxicity level" of an account, why is decay not explained?
Having been banned for awhile and thinking about rejoining the LoL community, I'm still curious as to why Riot has not addressed what goes into the system that hands out the permban. Below is a link to a discussion where the new system for punishment is explained, one of the top comments is asking how the decay system works (asked by Saixos), the question was never answered and even when trying to ask Templar Iytsuna I got shafted and told it was "hidden."
Now I understand that toxicity levels of an account probably shouldn't be public information but shouldn't a system exist where a player can at least see their own toxicity level? This would make it where players could actually see the decay system working versus it being an unknown factor. The only reason I've thought about this issue is I took a break from League for a quite a few (~6) months and after only a few weeks of playing I'm banned, which I don't have an issue with as the games used for my ban were games I tried to fight fire with fire. I just find it questionable that the new system introduced is very vague as to how it actually works with decay. My issue is if the decay system worked I made the assumption from the discussion that it would roll back to the previous punishment, however, I still received the permaban after taking time off and when I came back before the ban was issued I had already played around 80-90 matches as I was playing with a friend over the month span. Just to reiterate I don't care for being banned I would just like to find some answers from either Riot or the community as to how decay actually functions and not a vague response.
Hey Summoner,
For an account's negativity to decay, it takes both a function of time and games played where no toxicity is exhibited to reduce, and effectively reset, the hidden "toxicity level" of an account.
That said, as each account is unique, even with a hypothetical query of perfect behavior I would not be able to calculate how long that reset would take. Nor do other positive games matter if an account continually will have negative games every so often as this account has.
Furthermore, a prior history of positive behavior will also have no standings on this case. Just as a lifetime of not doing crime wouldn't suddenly make committing a crime okay.

TLDR; Can Riot actually give a definite response on how decay actually works?
