Are you certain of that? There could be a possible chance most players have left the game due to unfair policies or bored of stale meta. I don’t think you should make this your full focus. If you truly want to reduce toxicity then you fix the meta. You tweak more heroes and listen to feedback meaning you tweak a lot especially during ptr phases. I have yet to see this.
These stats are somewhat difficult to interpret, although I love that the numbers are down.
For reference, could we please see what the original percents were? Also how were the numbers calculated? Is this a strict additive decrease in percent? Or is this a multiplicative decrease?
As in 25% of 10 is 7.5. That’s not a big change, but still nice.
But a 25% decrease so like 35% down to 10% is huge.
I mean, it really can’t. You have no idea what the original amount of toxicity was. Toxicity going down to 25% is written much differently than toxicity is down 25%
If people left the game it would not alter the proportion of the players that are abusive/toxic. For example: Say 30% of the playerbase is inherently toxic. Now let’s also say 100 players in total leave the game. Statistically speaking, 30 of the players would have been toxic players and 70 of them would have been non-toxic players. This would not alter the overall proportion of toxic players in game.
Jeff that’s excellent news to hear! Great job to everyone!
However, will you be updating us on how endorsements work and what actually causes us to loose them? There seems to be a lot of confusion in the air as to how our endorsement levels work.
Keep up the great work, Jeff. We appreciate your hard work on this amazing game. However please keep in mind there are still some balance issues about which the community is being very vocal.
All these stats tell me is, LFG has less toxic people in it meaning more non-toxic people use LFG. So if I solo queue then I’m more likely to have a group of all toxic people.
In short I’m forced to use LFG. None of these stats mean that community toxicity is down. It just means less of it is being reported because of pre-made LFG.
Any chance of adding a region ‘flag’ or something for LFG as well? As an Aussie it would be nice to know what groups are US based or not, just an icon or something would be great.
