I am working on Toxicity website...

That shows a summoner's toxicity scale and lets you rate the summoner. Where existing sites like Lolking, Lolnexus, op.gg, etc, show you all the summoner's performance stats, my website will show you how they have been reviewed personally and how toxic they are (if at all). That way, you can go on and see...hmm this guy has a great k/d/a with his champion, but he has an 85% toxicity level. Better not get on him or attempt to give him advice, etc.

It will let you write written reviews on a summoner, rate his toxicity, share if you reported him and what you reported him (so you can see what he gets reported most for), etc.

(On a negative side, you can see your enemies toxicity level and see if there is a guy with high toxicity and use that to your advantage...like purposely try to tilt him ;) )

It has been in production for a while now and will be released as a beta soon. Thoughts?

This would require mass player input because that kind of information won't be available through the Riot API, and players just aren't going to submit that data regularly and/or in large enough amounts to do anything. In the cases where it does accurately show a player's "toxicity level", the chance anybody sees that data and comes across him is just too small to be of any use, and in the infinitesimal chance that it DOES happen, it'll be like one game where they go "Oh hey I know you're toxic" and it causes problems, or he gets muted and that's the end of it.

0/10 no practical application

Thats a WONDERFUL idea - to expose flamers so everyone would know who is a flamer and who isnt.I hope after you release it you will post the link in boards :)

This could in theory be bad for the public, and I advise you now to not do this.

So it would be like "Rate a Professor" (site where you can rate teachers/professors)

Also, would the ratings be anonymous? Who gets to rate players (would you have to have played in a game with that person recently)?

These points would be crucial since I can imagine that if you have to log in with your summoner name to rate a player, and the toxic person being rated could see your name, they would then just retaliate and rate you negatively also, starting a toxicity war.

Also, if others who have not even played with that toxic person can rate players, I can also see lots of trolling where someone gathers all their friends and say "hey, lets all rate this guy as being super toxic to mess with his reputation".

Overall, I like the idea of having such a site up since I think it would help prevent/stop toxicity, but just want to see how the above points would be addressed to make the site be most effective and not breed more toxicity accidentally.

So what's to prevent people from false reporting or purposely trying to troll your website?

Great idea though.

That breeds so much negativity towards negative people, which is exactly what riot tries to avoid.

Interesting for sure, would help me remember why I have certain people on my Banned list.

Well, at least I could be informed if I messed up somewhere since I have been reported a few times for false accusations. :-/ Not wanting to know who, just the why.

I think if you're gonna make people write reviews, make them all anomynous, otherwise toxic summoners will make hell out of people that are ID'd on those reviews.
