Requested account data, sad to verify so much toxicity in my games

EDIT: Since it seems to be relevant, I'll note here that I am almost never personally flamed in games. The people I am reporting are flaming other teammates, or the team as a whole, or the enemies. I don't say much in chat other than "gj," "don't worry about it, we got this," and "nice skin," but when someone is being toxic, I mute them and report them.

I requested my account data, and I didn't realize that not only would I receive the number of reports made about me in the last 100 games, I also received the number of reports I have made in those games. I feel like I see people on the boards say they rarely encounter any flaming/toxicity, so I wanted to share my stats as an example of the challenges I consistently encounter in this community. I let a lot of things slide when it comes to reporting for verbal abuse (passive aggression, a few bad comments that don't completely take over the game, etc.), but I do report for disruptive, nasty, nonconstructive flaming. Apparently 1.6 people per game on average hit my threshold for reporting. I get a lot of IFS pop-ups so I know much of these people's behavior was deemed punishable.

To put it another way, I can expect flaming in any given match I join. I don't personally flame, I am supportive of my team, and I always do my best to win; I don't respond to people flaming, just mute and move on. Despite my best efforts to prevent my teammates from tilting, toxicity permeates my League experience. This makes me sad, but I am hopeful that continuing to be positive will at least set a good example for some people.

I let a lot of things slide when it comes to reporting for verbal abuse

"VERBAL_ABUSE" : 163 "NEGATIVE_ATTITUDE" : 47

Your statement doesn't quite line up with that number. 163 verbal abuse reports and 47 negative attitude reports over 100 games? Jesus.

I can expect flaming in any given match I join

Like, are you looking for problems? Even though you're not being heavily reported, are you saying or doing anything that could possibly aggravate people? (Legitimate question).

I play a lot of matches. Not so much ranked, but even in the ranked matches I hardly ever encounter what I would consider to be serious flame. I don't report people for making 1 or 2 comments about things, that's going to happen given the nature of the game. Big difference between "why did you do that" and "you're trash."

I mean, I believe it. Silver is rough. It's like Plat Jr...everyone thinks they know better than you, and everyone starts being dumb af when they don't get their exact way. >.>

Plus, there's a lot of disparity with matchmaking currently...ever been matched with an Iron 3 in your silver 2 promos? My friend did a few months back, and I was 3 LP away from my own promo to Silver 1. That's enough to tilt freaking anybody.

Either way, you all need to chill with the accusations. Silver doesn't need to look for trouble. Trouble is in every game. Only question is if it's our trouble, or the enemy's trouble.

Let me get this straight:

You filed a report for verbal abuse 163 Times.

This is over the last 100 games...

So in every game you have played, you have found someone verbally abusing someone else.

I either highly doubt this, believe your lucky, or suspect YOU are the one looking for fights.

All you are doing is lowering your report weight when you babyrage report people every game. People say they report all the time but nothing ever happens because their reports are worth absolutely nothing and have no weight due to repeated inaccurate reports.

If they don't say anything that would trigger the IFS or is otherwise inappropriate, reporting them is quite literally useless. Which is why I always laugh when sensitive crybabies report over things like GG EZ, ping spamming, passive aggression, or criticism that does not use trigger terms or phrases.

Jesus you report a lot. I cant even remember reporting 2 people in a single match, but you do it quite often. Now i wanna request account data.
