0.03% too many

When you have millions of players, .03% is 300 people per million. Consider the fact that the .03% of people in this figure are those who report this bug to Riot.

Perhaps not included in the .03% are people who lost their install and:

  • are not tech savvy enough to even file a report or recover their computer
  • gave up or quit trying
  • haven't yet recovered their PC to file a report the usual way
  • stuck to reporting issues and seeking help elsewhere, such as on Reddit, perhaps even PC subreddits
  • quit when they realized how insane the Vanguard saga is

Riot is has a colorful history and a future of misuing and abusing statistics across the board. It's practically their modus operandi.

0.03% is 3 in 10,000. Thats 300 per million not 30,000. So still not great but 2 orders of magnitude less terrible.

You're right. I missed 2 zeroes.
