Unpopular Opinion about gameplay.

Hi, Here is my quick rant about the solo queue's biggest problem. I feel like most of the players who get reported for verbal abuse/offensive language are punished. However, the players who make these people be upset and start using offensive language or verbally abuse are not really punished. Afk, trolls or intentional feeders hardly seem to get punished. Specially reporting someone for unskilled, it is as if that report function is just for show. My other rant is about queue dodging. If I am to be in a ranked match and during champion select someone decides to start trolling and say they are gonna feed and start arguing with other 4 players, it is almost a guarantee that the game will go poorly for that team. I have played 1000s of games, so I know I am not just making this up. Almost every time you get a player like that in champ select that team will most likely lose the game (unless the other team has the exact same problem). The biggest issue with this is that, Riot actually punishes the players who don't want to play the game with that individual. The form of punishment is Lp loss and 6 minutes minimum ban from starting another match. If they decide not to dodge they are punished even harder by having to wait 20 minutes to surrender, play with someone who is trying to make sure the 4 other players lose, and verbally abused. Does this seem fair at all? Specially at promos? I have to either play for 20 minutes knowing I am going to lose and just waste 20 minutes of my time and lose my promos OR I have to dodge right away which gives me an instant loss on my promos as well. Is this even fair at all? Why should I be punished for someone else's toxicity? Does it not seem like because riot punished players who aren't at fault those players will end up being toxic in the long run or just stop playing because it is impossible to enjoy a match where a player can't quit AFTER knowing that the match is going to be a loss OR you are there for 20 minutes watching/playing this horrible match slowly go to 20min so the players can surrender. How is that fair in anyway for the players who aren't toxic or just players who would NOT be toxic if they could enjoy their games for once?

Intentional feeders should be punished. Unskilled players should have their MMR adjusted.

They have said that they are rolling out new systems to deal with toxicity in play-style, and verbal.

Riot started with the verbal system and say they are working on implementing the play-style one.

While from a feel stance starting with the verbal is "treating the symptom" it's just a FAR easier system to implement.

The statistical outliers (the people who feed and troll every game) would be easy to catch, but it's the people in the grey areas between unlucky, bad games, on tilt, that make a play-style system so difficult to implement.

Now a system where if the other 4 people vote to dodge you get a free dodge but you can only initiate the dodge vote successfully once a day might be a nice stop gap, but i believe the fear is it will stretch que times too far
