Riot, have you stopped caring about the issue with player behavior?

In December, you stated that you were happy with the current situation of player behavior, having 95% of the player base unpunished. Ever since then, you have made no posts about any plans to continue with improving the situation. Have you stopped caring?

I know a lot of people at riot aren't in bronze/low-silver, but I can promise you that the current situation of player behavior in that mmr bracket is atrocious. I still manage to get toxic players literally every game a lane is feeding.

The thought that I literally can not get into a game without 4 other respectable players really, deeply worries me.

***Have you given up and accepted your system as good enough already? *** If not, any rioter responsible for devising the punishment system needs to spend a day in bronze.

Just had a game where the first words out of this guys mouth was FEEDING.... Been there? Needless to say, the guy went 0 15 before the 20 minute mark. Of course it was a ranked game. Im sure RIOT will never even do anything about this and we will all suffer. Not sure what the report button is for. Did they nerf that too? His summoner name was agrippa6392, run if you see him

Whatever happened to that Tribunal thing?

Is it out of order?

They haven't made any posts; Lyte usually saves those for when he has something actionable to discuss.

However, if you pay attention to Riot tweets, there's a lot of stuff they're working on in terms of improving player behavior. Most notably:

Tribunal relaunch any year now
Ranked team builder is coming
Honor system revamp, with more reward for being a positive player

95%.

That is a friggin ton of people, and this game will always have a dark pit of the community like all games, they don't bring it up because it is essentially in a good spot, they still talk about rewarding behaved players.

Welled Said: I agreed. Even in Ranked you can still lose with diamond players feeding.

Riot's approach to the player community is equivalent to India's caste system as such Riot has no time to listen to your bronze tears!

if it helps; Imagine League of legends as the Hunger games... but instead of sectors you have tiers. And instead of Katniss Everdeen you're the dipshit from district 9 that got stabbed in the back like a busta.
