daily reminder that chat bans dont make people less toxic
in fact they make them more toxic because they sit there and fester and deal with equally toxic teammates. i won't lie. last season i was pretty toxic and i deserved every ban i got. which was A LOT. this season though, i can't even say anything to make anyone want to report me anymore. because if i get ONE report now i get 70 games chat restricted and 35 game ranked ban. your system didn't make me less toxic. in fact i was 100 times MORE toxic when i got ranked/chat banned.
what happens if someone does really bad on chat restrictions? odds are his team is going to freak out on him, and he only gets so many replies. so you know what happens? first 3 messages go by very quickly. and guess what happens to the poor unfortunate soul who has no messages available and doing bad that game? he gets to read a shit ton of abuse, get mad, and then the second his message comes up tends to just say something out of anger. and then guess what happens? the team that was treating him like shit all day will mass report him and renew his ban cycle.
even now sure i get a little toxic here and there, but i can tell you without reservation its reactive, not proactive toxicity. now, i don't dare say a word in game because someone will report me if they find something wrong with what i said. ive been chat ban/ranked ban free for about 50 games on my main account, but i know one bad game will get me another 70 game chat ban/35 ranked restriction.
9 other people have complete power over whether or not im gimped in game.
why have chat bans at all if you have ranked bans anyway?
