I'm level 27, and constantly playing against Golds, Platinums, and Diamonds (Riot - Match Review)
With that not being the primary concern.
The primary concern is; they are toxic as hell. Now i've just had my first pop-up notifying me that I have been reported, for - you guessed it, negative attitude.
And was I being negative? Certainly not as much as she was being, that's for sure. What all did I say to her? After her monotonous verbal harassment, I said "muted and reported". You know what, I have that right to mute you and report you. You don't have the right to report me, because I haven't done anything to validate a report. I attempted to farm experience of slain minions between T1 and T2 towers, and a Zed flash ulted me - ok? She says "Why are you feeding?"
I mean, I did not say this to her but. "Dude, it's Zed. He flash ulted me at the Tier 2 tower. Get over yourself." That's exactly what i'm thinking, and someone who's in Platinum should know better. It happens, No I don't have a QSS yet, it's 6 minutes into the game.
I just want Riot, and the community, to understand that you are going to be punished for reports against you, whether or not they are legitimate. Any given time a player is having a bad time, is on tilt, or feels the need to report you or anyone else, for any reason - you can and will be punished for it.
What concerns me is, as Riot points out in their automated support responses.
"We investigated and determined that your account was in clear violation of the Summoner’s Code. We determined that your consistent behavior warrants this punishment, and will not be removing or adjusting it."
Serious? I get punished because I was reported by someone who was toxic, and you 'investigated' the matter, and determined I was in violation of the offense? Either the Tribunal is in absolute havoc right now, and there is absolutely no judgement, to investigate or determine anything, or you need a new set of staff members with solid judgement working or volunteering for your company.
I apologize that I cannot stream, or record videos to give the valid evidence that you shouldn't require to rectify your flaws, as I don't have a computer powerful enough to run that, much less the game itself. I fluctuate between 10-60 frames per second, depending on my external programs running or not. Now I could probably stream or record video at about 10-15 frames per second, and that would suffice, because you would be provided with the evidence required to see a legitimate point of view, outside of your chaotic flawed system.
"Higher than normal levels of toxicity." - Are you kidding me? Informing an individual that I'm not going to put up with their toxicity by muting them, is grounds for a report?
Not swearing, not being snide, not being disrespectful, not refusing to participate even though anybody would have done the same.

Riot, address the issue instead of protecting the community that is giving you a bad name.
