Riot, if you care about your players at all, read this

dozens of games ive been trolled in so far in preseason. It's practically unbearable to even sit through anymore. Riot, you have done nothing to address this issue at all. I appreciate all the balance and effort you put into the game, but when only 1/100 games are a decent match without afk's and trolls, who really cares about balance anyway?

Despite constant trolling, only increasing as the years have gone on, you have done nothing to address it at all. So I'm asking an honest question Riot, one that if you ignore this time, im done.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP TROLLING?

This is a fairly straightforward question that ought to have an answer after 7 years of this game. Please tell me what you are planning to do, about to do, maybe thinking about doing in 2 decades, anything that can make me even pretend you care that ive wasted countless hours getting trolled.

If you ignore this, count me as a player lost, because i can deal with a crappy community, but i can't deal with a company that doesnt care if their customers are getting tortured.

Enough is enough, give me some kind of hope that you care, or show me how little you do care by completely ignoring me.

maybe you could read up on their thoroughly documented answer. as for the afk's its not always trolling. servers are having issues in some areas.

They have done nothing, thats why people come on the forums to complain about them being ban. People do get ban for trolling peoples games. its just difficult to catch especially early on. Now granted that isnt an excuse, but then again you have to keep in mind that League of Legends is the number on online PC game. Millions of people play this game and Riot isnt some huge company with hundreds of employees. I would assume there are a handful of people who look through the reports and take action. There is only so much a group of people can do in a days work. Im sure they try their hardest. You also need to keep in mind that usually when you play a match its with different people. So the person trolling you usually isnt the same person who is trolling you in your next game, or even next couple of games. Its usually different people, and with that comes more and more reports that someone else has to look at and judge if they are trolling or actually having a bad game.

Sadly there are people who are having bad days and might look like they are feeding when they arent trying to. People get outplayed which means theyll likely get killed over and over again. Then we all know Riots Servers arent the greatest. So people could be lagging like crazy, and because you wont actually know how bad it is till you are actually in a game, its too late by then. Also like i said trolling in general can be hard to detect. Whereas someone who is being toxic with their words could be easily detected by how often they use words that are against the ToS/Summoners Code, Some things are just easier to find and deal with than other offensives.

Plus its not like Riot has millions of dollars in their company, they got E-sports to deal with!

"Trolling" is way too broad of a term for too many people. Back in season 3 when I built trinity on kog before it was standard everyone called me bad, called me a troll, and would blame literally everything on me.

Don't give these idiots any justification for their actions and certainly don't give them any power to report me for something like that.

Trolling is attempting to make the game worse for your own team. That shows up in many forms. Afk Refusing to group stealing a role after it was picked Not playing with your team (taking cs as supp just to piss off the adc) Afk farming jungle until your team loses

The point is this though, if you get 4 reports for ruining the game, it should be looked at. If your entire team thinks at the end of the game that you ruined it, then your actions should be looked at.
