Riot Games will be adding an ASMR announcer in their next preseason patch. While optional for human beings, honor 0 and honor 1 players will be forced to select it.
The hope is that the whispering, spine-tingling sensations brought about by an autonomous sensory meridian response will keep these furious players calm. Studies show that toxic players are easily excited, and often fly off the handle. But studies also show that younger players are 88% less toxic when they feel like their daddy is whispering assurances to them.
"Toxicity itself is a hard item to address," Riot wrote in today's patch notes. "We tried being hard and lean with punishments. The lack of returns tell us a gentler approach is not only cost-efficient, but promising in what it might be able to do."
Also on the way are ASMR voice modules for the most toxic champions. Riven, Zoe, and Yasuo will all whisper their voice lines as to avoid angering the young honor 0 players.
