Is the data in that old "Teamwork OP" video from 2013 still relevant today?

This is more of a question towards the player behavior folks @Riot if any of them lurk this board:

tl;dw:

  • Number of ragers on a team decreases WR - example given, from a 54% avg, down to 46% with 3, and "it gets worse from there"
  • Direct correlation between team's behavior and gold lead
  • Players with a history of good sportsmanship win 10% more games, players with a report history win 35% less games.

Is this still roughly accurate in 2019? 6 years is an eternity in gaming, and I'd be curious if this still holds the same after all the changes to the game and its popularity exploding.

I think the important thing to take away from that video is this -

  • Number of ragers on a team decreases WR - chances of a win will decrease as the number of ragers increases
  • Direct correlation between team's behavior and gold lead
  • Players with a history of good sportsmanship win more games, players with a report history win less games.

I'm not a big fan of statistics and made up percentages, so I just removed the percentages because that's not really what's relevant about the statements. Having an attitude of neutral or better (as opposed to below neutral, or negative) will absolutely allow you to win more games. How many? Who knows. But it's certainly not going to hurt.
