@RiotLyte You Unleashed a Mob of Trolls

By announcing the season reward restrictions at the END of the season instead of at the BEGINNING (thereby giving more incentive for trolls and toxic players not to ruin others' experiences in the first place), you have created a vicious, angry, and retaliatory horde of trolls and flamers who now seek to punish the player base that reported them and prevented them from receiving their season rewards. This is an unprecedented and HORRIBLY TIMED decision that is only serving to make (especially), ranked games hell for those of us who are not toxic or abusive.

PLEASE REVERT YOUR DECISION, ranked is a hellhole of trolls because of what your team has done. I approve of the idea, but for the love of god implement it at the beginning of the next season as a preventative measure, not as a surprise punishment toward the end of this one.

This punishment is senseless to begin with. You get rewarded with season rewards because of your skill, not your behavior. Being toxic already gets punished enough. Not to mention that the report system is broken + leaver buster often punishes technical problems..

You have to be kidding me. EVERYONE should have known that if you get banned or restricted you don't get end of season rewards. It has been like that for a LONG time. Even if that wasn't the case, people who get banned don't deserve Jack. The restrictions are a tool Riot uses to punish players who don't follow the Summoner's Code. If you really want a reward, your behavior will be what it should be.

It is a good thing i stopped doing Ranked due to the general pressure and toxicity, lol

But yes, i do not understand why Lyte decided to announce this now.

I find it funny that these trolls think they can go into a ranked match, intentionally feed and flame, and "I already lost my season rewards what else do I have to lose?"

Enjoy the eventual permaban.

Plz Riot understand the suffering

Completely agree with this. Especially with the large flood of 2 week bans that went out automatically to people who have never been punished before.

Lyte has clarified this. Only extremely toxic players (who have received escalated 7- and 14-day bans), chronic leavers, and players with currently active restrictions will be ineligible for ranked rewards. This is similar to what happened in previous seasons.

Also, this has been standard practice for a long time. Here's a description of the same system from the 2014 season: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/Tw3K6XXu-ranked-rewards-and-negative-behavior

This was announced as a punishment though. Not right at the beginning of the Season, but still months ago.

honestly I've only gotten one chat ban cause of riots retarded automated system...and back during the server issues where shit would randomly pop up i got a 20+ minute leaver que. If I don't get my rewards since most of these issues are riot issues...I will have to leave league forever. I won't stand by a company that does shit like this to people who don't deserve it.

The problem is you can get banned for people just not liking what you say. I got chat restriction for telling someone their build is bad and kindly explaining to someone that Katarina is not good anymore and only works when the enemy team has no knowledge of how to play against her. People get mad because they dislike criticism and then people on my team starting yelling because I angered this person and their going to tilt now. I tried getting a ticket but Riot just gives me generic responses. In the end I just played out my 15 games and was done with it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Ranked has been extremely unplayable the past week. I dropped to 0 LP twice because of ragers, feeders, trolls, etc. This has got to be one the stupidest decisions ever made at Riot. They need to revert this decision and save it for the beginning of season 6.

I guess according to them there is no such thing as reforming.

There are so many good players who flame that it almost counter acts itself.

Kojiro Sasaki8/24/2015, 1:17:17 PM4 votes

The type of punishment is the best part. "You won't receive a border"? Seriously? I never thought of borders as a reward. It's just a visual demonstration of your skill level. That's the same bullshit mentality as belts in martial arts being a reward. They're supposed to display skill level.

Attitude ≠ skill. Players who earned their rank deserve their respective rewards.

Once I heard this was happening I stopped talking to my team mates and started to punch my wall. My wall has a huge hole now.
