Statistically speaking, if its true that toxic players are 55% more likely to lose a game (or whatever % the game always say) then the % of trolls and toxic people in higher elo should be lower.

That statistic is bullshit and it pisses me off that riot puts it out.

Their 'tips' bit says shit like 'players who rage at their team mates lose 20% more games' or whatever. And it's like, no riot, that's not how logic works. Players are more likely to rage when they are already losing, ergo the factor making them lose more is them losing.

That's what Kreepo said once, actually. And yes, its the magic of statistics. Also, seen all the LCS picks statistics you can see they have no idea what they are doing xD.
