Phreak mentioned that due to the increase of toxicity and death threats he will be quitting social media.
While I agree with some of the points about the ping system that the community has brought up before, harassing Rioters and others has been happening for so long and has been so severe, that i understand why phreak has come to this decision.
pings being removed would create more toxicity, less ways to relay proper information in the game,
not everyone is sending death threats but there are some, alot of people sent critical feedback on why the removal of pings is bad and how it removes 6 years of progress of communication we needed in the game,
you must be pretty low elo or dont play ranked at all if u come to this conclusion,
if riot wanted to truely lessen toxicity in league they need to fix the issues the playerbase had pointed out that are the clear issues of the games,
Greifing : its way to easy to hard and soft int games - effect Causes toxicity
Bot/buyable accounts: its way to easy to just go on a website buy a 5$ bot account and run it down, theres also still bots in ranked greifing game - effect causes toxicity
Lack of proper communication: having to rely on text to get information across removing control over ur character while u type while pings did somewhat help this issue it will never be true communication like we need being voice coms - effect causes toxicity
High elo betting and win trading accounts : people wintrade at higher elo and use betting websites on streamers and pros - effect causes toxicity,
Introduction of hidden lobbies: u can nolonger look at the lobbies ur about to go into and play so u cant avoid people greifing effectivly making it so they have free roam to ruin games - effect causes toxicity
riot has the ability to fix these issues but dont, They can track all these bot accounts for instance and purge them, BUT WONT theres sites out there that u can search these accounts and it will show it
