Can We Address how Bad the New Player Experience Is?

1- We ban players for saying mean words so they get new accounts and SHIT ON newbies 2- Half of the noob lobbies are ruined by bots 3 -Tutorial to Blind Pick with smurfs is terrible for new players

I have tried to introduce new players to League and the 3 instances above happen all the time. Help me sell the game to new players.

1- stop perma banning accounts over "mean words". Only ban int and afk players 2 -remove bots (you have enough money Riot it can't be that hard) 3- track individual skill in matchmaking to improve quality of matches

Permamuting for toxicity lead to more non-verbal toxicity overall, and this isn't some shit-tier game like Smite, so Riot's not going to let toxicity just sit and fester and do absolutely nothing about it.

2 -remove bots (you have enough money Riot it can't be that hard)

They can remove bots. They do remove them, in fact. They just don't remove them instantly because that's FAR worse in the long run for numerous reasons.

3- track individual skill in matchmaking to improve quality of matches

You said this in your last post, but failed to give a real way to do so.

Unless you mean basing it off of statistics, in which case that will 100% of the time lead to stat padding.

Your individual skill already comes into play. It tracks one very simple stat that cannot be padded to any degree - how often the Nexus is destroyed in your games.

1 - no afk shouldnt be bannable offense. 2 - its actually pretty hard since the people making the bots are getting around and their system evolving so it can go around riot system. They will just make more smart bots. ( The only thing they can remove the bot is to make the people that botting to not have a profit. Why people botting? To sell accounts. If riot make the game super expensive to play , they wont have profit. Lets say you have to pay 50$ for the game which is account bound and 20 or 30$ a month to play. But thats gonna effect the whole player base. ) 3 - like that is possible ? Everyone can have a bad game.
