Anyone else notice this? I'm not against it, I'm happy for it. However if it does tell us anything is that when Riot claimed that their game was 2% Toxic. Then they implement a system that ACTUALLY FINDS toxicity, I wonder how much will it show after a full year circuit of having this system out. It would be pretty funny if the number jumped to it's actual realistic number(anyone who's played league for any amount of time know it's more than 2%) 50% of League players are Silver, now don't try and tell me Silver is ~2% toxic. It's a toxic cesspool and we all know it.

What has this taught us? Riot 2% of your game isn't toxic, you just caught 2% previously. Please release that number again after 2016 and let's see if toxicity actually increased or you guys simply caught more people being toxic due to advanced systems.

Disclaimer: This is just purely on my recent observations about there being more permabans, I've been seeing players who've been toxic for 4 seasons finally getting banned,and more permabanned threads than ever before. I might be wrong but I'm cynically confident that the number has surpassed 2% banned. Or 0.00009% Permabans.

My opinion on the increased bans;

Previously, people would just stack up hundreds of chat restrictions because they didn't care. Right now, the people getting banned are the ones who would've been stacking those restrictions, but are now hitting the ban tiers instead.
It's preseason. A lot of people don't give a shit about their rank, whether they think it doesn't affect their MMR (it does) or they simply were only behaving so they could get the 2015 reward. It's also a stressful time with all the crazy changes they do.

You're probably right that the % of bans has increased, but I'd say it's probably proportional to those that had several tens or hundreds of chat restrictions.

My only issue is that I have been reported 4 times in the last 2 months for using "foul language" and being "toxic." I am by no means toxic and sometimes I will use a bad word, but nothing towards anybody but myself. I agree with D3CIPLE when he said, " In the current system simply telling someone their positioning lost fights and ultimately the game is enough to get you banned." This is absolutely true because of the new system. I have been playing since March and I have tons of honors, which shows I am a good person. But if I tell somebody, "Well, you need to quit going YOLO into the middle of their team. That leaves you vulnerable and we can't help you" that shouldn't be reportable. But, if I upset them, they will report me, falsifying the conversation to something more extreme. People now use this as a backlash and I am not okay with that. I've gone so far as to mute people on my team and the enemy team if they show any raging whatsoever. So far, I haven't been reported in 3 weeks.

Yeah, there's definitely been an increase since this 3 strike system was implemented.

Hmm players act negatively in a game that is prone to having negative user experiences? People play the game to improve but are unable to make real progress in the ranked ladder due to riots matchmaking. I challenge anyone to play with the trolls, afks, unkskilled players, and blatant intent feeders without feeling helpless. The players that riot deems toxic aren't bad people, they are frustrated with 999999999999999999999 variables they have 0 control of. Most people play to win. You rely heavily on your team mates to win. In the current system simply telling someone their positioning lost fights and ultimately the game is enough to get you banned.

I think riots dumb for it. Honestly they just create new accounts and make new players quit. Slow claps for riot

To be honest, there will be no improvements in the "toxicity" of this community until they start to implement measures to fix it.

it's funny that you only think silver is toxic. is the highest you ever got gold or something. toxicity increases dramatically the higher you go up. the more competitive the level, the more people care about it and get mad over it. either way, i've never believed in their stat about toxicity. riotlyte is a fucking liar. he lies about so much shit like how duo reports don't matter. it does. anyway, i would peg the % of people who gets reported to be at least 30% based on the number of toxic games i've seen. basically, the way the system is rigged up, the only way to not get reported is to let everyone shit on you whenever they want. you just gotta stay quiet and not fight back at all.

With the holidays over, people will be going back to work and school. It'll slow down.

There is also a reason you see more bots farming exp than ever before...got to sell them new level 30 accts to the permabanned people. Another side effect they fail to mention.
