Community Improvement / Stricter Ban System and Helping Ranked become a better place.

There are three main topics I'd like to cover in this section. Each of these would be a welcome addition to the League in my opinion and would help the community improve marginally.

1. First of all, revising the ban policy of Riot games. There are still many cases where one player intentionally ruins the game of 4 others, and doesn't even flinch at the thought of the consequences. This needs to change, and there are two good ways to go about it. Option A is to impose longer bans, lasting sometimes up to even months, but allowing to player to pay in order for the restriction time to go away. This could potentionally increase income for Riot, but also turn some players away, but mostly toxic ones who are a burden to the community as a whole. Option B is to punish the offender by substracting League points, dropping them down a division, or even a whole League, depending on what they did. However this is a slippery slope, because a player could, in theory, go on a rampage to ruin as many games as they can, just for the lolz, and to prove how much he doesn't care, to reinforce the feeling inside of him, that he is a very important person, because he could do this. (Effectively taking a dump on everyone's head.) Nevertheless, in many people it will help to sink in the fact, that toxicity, feeding, rage quitting has consequences.

2. Second topic is to help the community and show them that Riot is with them. That they are there, cleaning up the place. The least we could get is a little pop up window informing us that a player we reported got punished, for what, and by what means. And a little thank you note. This would go a long way in raising faith in League and Riot as a whole. Also, try marketing the Tribunal more, in order to resolve matters more quickly and give feedback to wronged players more quickly. Make it an in game thing, or make it so that it's always available from the main client. And finally: Remove the unskilled player category from the report options. It's doing a negative impact. It's not a valid report option, it doesn't do anything. And it would help us to take the report system a little bit more seriously.

3. Third topic is to adress the issue of losing LP because of AFK players and Feeders. It cannot be considered fair in any way, that a player has to lose 20 or so LP just because there was a DCd player on his team. If we were to, say, able to detect that a player left the match well before it was over, the losing team would simply not lose LP. Take a page out of Valve's book: if a player is absent for longer than 5 minutes, that mach does not count as a lose for the losing team, but still counts for the winners. So many complaints would be solved by this. And if we were dealing with a feeder, simply give every player of the losing team some bonus LP once the issue has been resolved in the Tribunal, and the guilty party was condemned.

Finally: I'd like to ask every reader to vote on which of the above features they would like to see implemented first, or if any of them should make it into the game. Thank you for reading.
