@Lyte @Riot Idea to reduce queue toxicity & queue dodges: Anonymous names
What if solo ranked queue was totally anonymous until the game started, and only pre-made players can see their teammates' names? I feel this would help reduce pre-game toxicity including:
- People looking up match history on someone before the game starts and fighting over roles
- Decrease the potential chance to abuse vote-kick (which would be great to have) in ranked queues based on match history, names, etc.
- Decrease negative environment in champion select between players who know each other that previously had negative experiences, "(Blank) is bad and report them" and reduce incentive to troll pick/force dodges
Each slot would be assigned generic names like "Summoner 1-5" etc, so communication would still be possible in queue. I realize being anonymous may give incentive to troll if people don't get the role they want, but perhaps implementing a vote-kick system and accurate tribunal reports can designate harsher punishments? Honestly trolling shouldn't be a concern if the tribunal is functioning as it should.
It just feels like personally, I am constantly dodging queue because one person is blatantly saying they're going to troll and picking revive/clarity ezreal and someone else is picking heimerdinger support and going afk.
