Does Riot care at all about Trolls? I'm getting so many games where people just fuck around

They'll outright say in draft pick that they're stealing a lane, or they'll sick in the jungle afk by monsters, and yet they'll still be playing hours after these incidents.

WTF is Riot doing about this? They seem happy enough punishing people venting their frustrations about this kind of shit, but they won't do anything to the actual source?

Again, is this game supposed to be fun or is it just meant to be a time-sink to dump an hour on, hoping the matchmaking slots are in your favor, when you have nothing else happening?

don't vent your frustration in chat because thats an easy way to get banned. 2. report them. They do care.. Report them and move on. It sucks but the more reports that person gets the more likely they are to be banned.

I do report them, and then when I check their matches the next day I see they're still playing and doing the exact same thing as before. So either you're full of shit, or Riot's system is broken.

Also why does Riot care more about muteable chat than people actually ruining the gameplay of others with their shit?

No I'm not full of shit. Ive reported ppl before and ive gotten a notice from riot that says your previous report has helped punish a violation when ever a player gets banned lol. The system is not broken and these trolls actually don't appear in all of your games certainitly not the majority.

Riot likes to give chat restrictions to give players a chance to reform. but it also depends on the severity of their offense. Sometimes its just a straight out 3 day ban. then a 14 day ban. third offense is perma ban.

Big fucking whoop, so all it comes down to is luck? You have to hope and pray that shit goes your way or you're fucked by terrible matches with shitty people and then pray they get banned when you report them for valid shit?

Awesome system,

no you'e just being negative and overexaggerating. ppl do get banned and the report system does work. I've had one afk out of 30-40 games in the last few days. haven't seen one since. If league upsets you this much maybe you should take a break.

Awesome system,

I can perfectly understand the frustration you're experiencing with this, but it's a great way to lose an argument by leading with impatient assumptions and backing it up with back handed sass. The system works. Some get punished faster than others, due to the severity of the report, but karma meets up with everyone in the end. I've experienced a plethora of notifications of players being punished from reports I've filed over the years. I've no reason to believe it doesn't work.

It may be best to just take a break if you're this livid though, for your health. Trust me, the anger isn't worth it.

expecting people to get banned instantly like that is just ridiculous. Especially in the case of trolling.

Why is that ridiculous? Expecting game health and competent devs that care about gameplay and punishing those that ruin it is ridiculous?

yes it's ridiculous. First you need to make sure that you have the people available for it. You aren't the only one making reports. There are thousands, hundreds of thousands if not millions of reports done each day. You really think that any company has the manpower to deal with reports of such magnitude in a single day? especially when they have to make sure that the person is actually trolling, make sure that it's not the first and only time among many other things? you expecting that people would get banned in a single day is ludicrous

find me any game that manages to ban every troll withing hours and not ban anyone innocent in the progress.

Someone going 0/5 ain't trolling, but it could be. so we have to review the match. that'll take about an hour if they're quick, now multiply that by the hundreds of thousands of reports that come in each day.

You can spin it however way you like. It ain't ridiculous to care about these things, what is ridiculous is you expecting people to be banned within hours.
