You made a similar (far lengthier) post not but a few minutes ago. Don't spam the boards just because you didn't get immediate replies.

i restated what i asked because i didn't express what i was wanting to say in the first one i think there should be a new way to help people but the community should help decide it not me.

I think a good thing to try is a class like thing where the players are taught what how to be a good player through games and situations and the whole time they are being tested and when they are shown to be good enough to pass the class they can play league again.

No, I'm pretty sure you did express what you were wanting to say in the first one. That right there in the blockquote is an excerpt from the middle of your original post.

Even still, if you feel like you didn't express it appropriately, you can use the Edit feature at the bottom of your post to reword what you said. Which, brings me right back to square one, reiterating exactly what I mean: Don't spam the boards.

A lot of players simply start arguments by accident because they don't know how to give feedback or instructions to teammates who are tilted and already volatile.

Teaching players leadership and communication skills would probably help a lot, because they would learn that it is more effective to get teammates to do what they want, and they are more likely to have fun matches because they have less arguments with teammates.

do you think that riot could post videos on there pages that show what honorable players and how to be one?

It just sounds unnecessary and it really dumbs down the game! Riot already has a forum or a page explaining what honorable players are you just need to bring that upon yourself if you truly wanna know

Most players aren't going to go out seeking the information needed to learn these skills. They are just going to play the game, and suffer for not having these skills.

This applies to your response to me elsewhere in this thread as well.

No one would watch them.

Part of the reason for toxicity is that it has become entertainment value. Look at the streamers that aren't pro players, people watch destiny and tyler and whatnot because the toxicity is entertaining.

Halcyon hit the nail partially on the head, but it's not just communication skills, it's maturity and being able to accept criticism (guilty). I know my natural instinct when someone ?'s or says something is to excuse myself or point out what they did wrong in that case, to fix this whenever I die I try to determine if it was a feed or if/how it could have been avoided. It's less of a play correction and more of a pre-emptive criticism of myself, so that I am in agreement when the inevitable wtf comes warranted or not.

The other issue is 90%+ of the playerbase has very little or incorrect understanding of the game. Without any game knowledge people assume your playing incorrectly when they are the ones that should have backed after taking a tower etc. You see it almost every game, when the team refuses to group and your carries are all running around solo farming expecting the rest of the team to defend or contest objectives without them. Or that when your underfarmed underleveled and they are fed, maybe you shouldn't commit to that fight etc, but then the bm'ing comes when your 0/3 kayne dives 1v2 against a 5/0 draven and doesn't understand why nobody followed up.

Riot is partially to blame for fostering this snowball mentality that kda means more than winning or losing, and that a lower kda automatically means you don't know what your talking about.

Perhaps, providing examples for people to model off of certainly works in some cases. I'm not sure how it would work with league, but it's worth a shot, or at least an experiment!

Don't we learn that stuff in real life itself? Unless you have been living under a rock, it is completely unnecessary to teach morals when you can go on YouTube and learn there
