This Has to Stop Riot. (Serious)

No i'm just one of many people who was mistakenly chosen to be perma banned instead of the real culprits.

I'll be honest -- I see this a lot and most of the time it's a player not realizing that their response is, in fact, problematic. If you have your logs I'd be happy to give you feedback on them.

And what's with "not saying the punishment and the person who was punished to protect their privacy" BS?

It prevents witch-hunting and mocking another player for their punishments, basically. I'm with you that the fact that your reports actually do do things isn't well conveyed, but I can't really support telling you exactly who and what got punished as a result of them. I'd rather see it as a numerical statistic somewhere.

Alright so you seem to have a few gripes here... please feel free to correct me if I've misinterpreted your grievances.

1) You feel that verbal toxicity is punished too harshly. In this all I can say is that Riot, myself, and a large portion of the community disagree. There is no excuse for treating people like crap, and if you do it, you deserve to receive an escalating punishment that eventually leads to loss of your account. If you use hate speech, or other zero tolerance words, then most of the community wants you gone NOW not later unless you stop.

2) You feel that 'gameplay toxicity' isn't punished harshly enough Considering punishments for trolling prettymuch start at 2 week bans, once the system has detected the pattern of behaviour, I disagree with this assertion. Additionally, leaverbuster starts punishments(warning phase) at your very first time leaving a game, with escalating punishments occurring after that. So I disagree again here, I don't feel the punishment system is too lenient on that.

3) You feel that 'gameplay toxicity' takes too long to be detected. With this point, I feel like most would agree, even Riot themselves. However, it's not that simple. It's difficult, without manually watching every game, to detect the difference between 'oh crap, I died early twice and then their jungler took control of the game and ganked me every thirty seconds under tower, and I couldn't even get any farm because of it'. Or, between 'I'm a jungler who focuses on farming to a certain point before being effective' vs 'I'm pissed off at my team so I'm just going to afk farm the jungle until we lose'.

It isn't easy, and the system does its best, but it is far from ideal. Everyone agrees. However, I feel like Riot is erring on the side of caution because they don't want to wrongfully ban people for simply having a bad game. Additionally, I suspect that Riot doesn't think "My mom just died so I went to play some League, started losing, got flamed by my team and lost my temper, so I fed and then ragequit" should get someone banned, so they wait to see if the behaviour is indicative of a pattern rather than just a one-off occurrence.

4) You feel that verbal toxicity should be considered acceptable if it was prompted by someone else's toxicity. I feel like this sets an awful precedent. If we start forgiving peoples' verbal toxicity "Because there was a troll in my game", how far do we set the line? "Well, I fed because my mid-laner kept calling me an a-hole" and "I called him an a-hole because he was feeding" - welp, I guess nobody's punished because they're both caused by each others' toxicity.

Additionally, one person misbehaving shouldn't give you a carte blanche to misbehave yourself. I feel like there're a few reasons for this... first of all, there are three people on your team who are NOT the troll who are just trying to do their best to enjoy the game. You getting into a flamewar with him just makes their day even worse. Secondly, people should be able to exercise self control when they're at leisure. I don't feel that's unreasonable. Thirdly, the ACTION itself is punishable. So regardless of your reason for performing that action, it's still punishable. Rob a bank to feed your starving family, and you can bet you're still going to jail.

Edit:

5) You feel Riot shouldn't protect peoples' privacy.

They may not have a choice in that. There are laws in most places that protect peoples' privacy, and discussing status of customer accounts without permission can fall on the wrong side of that in many cases.

And what's with "not saying the punishment and the person who was punished to protect their privacy" BS ? you should expose them. make the world know what they did

What is wrong with you? We are talking about a Video Game, Relax.

instead of punishing the toxicity why not look at what caused it ?

It doesn't matter what "caused it", if you decide to flame because of somebody does something you don't like, That's on you.

my money and effort was gone becasue I got toxic at trolls and afk'ers ?

Your money and effort is gone because you decided to flame, not because somebody else did something.

I'm starting to see a pattern here, It's always "someone else", You refuse to take responsibility for your actions, instead, you project them onto others.

There are many games that permaban and make it so you are unable to get anything back. Heck, even Runescape bans people and they cant get anything back.

You being TOXIC is different than you being UPSET. Toxicity is JUST as bad as trolls, because what you are doing there is trying to flame and upset other people into not playing the game generally. "Youre bad, uninstall" "kys", etc. This is not the player choosing if they are trolling or not, people do this even when someone is just being outplayed or camped and unable to do much.

Legitimate trolls do get punished too, obviously. If you do not feel like a LEGITIMATE troll will be punished simply from a report, you can also send in a ticket with info like "in this game where i was X champ and game length was X time, there was a player playing X champion that was trolling and following people around just to annoy them and irritate them and saying X things to annoy them."

They will say "we can not gaurentee punishment is going to be put onto them, however we will look into it, thank you for reporting it" or something along those lines, because that is what they are required to say. Generally though, there is a punishment that is given if they are ACTUALLY trolling. However some could just be having a bad day, like if they are 0/8 and being tower dived etc etc etc that you dont look at because you could care less, you just see their score and you blame them.

Nothing good comes from.being toxic. It doesnt make you feel better. So just dont do it. You wont get punished.

To be honest. It sounds to me too much as well. At the end of the day, you can block-ignore person during the game, who is toxic and you wont get upset by what he/she texts anymore.

I am calm player in general, but it happens when you are a bit pissed off. And it shocks that I can lose all the money and time I spent on this account just because, lets say, I allowed myself saying some more than I typically do. NVM to be honest, may be it wont happen to me cuz I wont do it repeatedly (may be author was doing it time after time), but permaban for that?

I dont like toxic players tho, but in lol we got chat bans for those kind of cases. As a punishment for toxic player, it could be just a week/month of a chat and mic ban. That would allow a player to chill and think. If that wont help, then 2 moths, 6 months, year - whatever?; may be even a month of ban playing lol, but perma ban? C`mon... Perma chat ban would make more sense.

What is the point of losing a player, who plays and pays. He/she will just go to other game forever in many cases. If I was permabanned, there is noway I would start a new account to pay more money and contribute so much time. Permaban for typing to me sounds, totally unfair, especially, if you invested money to the account.

Always getting downvoted because everyone thinks im blaming others for no reason and not taking responsibilities of my actions screw this community and Riot devs
