Riot, I've spent a hundred plus dollars on your game. I've been Honor level 1 for more than an year now despite having cleaned up my act and playing well on games. Your community is toxic, and none of your so-called "disciplinary measures" work - they de-incentivize players who want to clean up their act and play well with others, unnecessarily punish people for having bad games, Twisted Treeline is full of bots and cheaters, none of whom get penalized or banned, and unranked is still full of assholes and feeders. I'm done. I know I'm just one of millions of players and you probably don't give a shit, and honestly, if this was a fair country, I'd sue your asses for microtransacting your players up the wazoo and then screwing them over like this with a broken game. I've been playing since the beta eight years ago and it was never this bad when all of these extra "honor" and "reward" and "xp" systems didn't exist.

Moving on to BattleRite and DOTA.

How toxic do you have to be to not be at least lvl 3 honor?

Do you verbally assault anyone who talks to you in chat?

Or is it just non stop passive-aggressive comments all game from champ select?

Let's break down this post, shall we?

Riot, I've spent a hundred plus dollars on your game

how is this relevant to the rest of your post?

I've been Honor level 1 for more than an year now

I don't even think the new honor level system has been out for a year, so idk how that's even possible. If it has been more than a year, then damn you got hammered at the very start and haven't been getting honored much since then have you. Based on the tone of your message I'm gonna assume you haven't really learned from your punishment because you seem pretty toxic as is.

Your community is toxic

as is almost any other large community for competitive games, I will never understand why league is labeled as "the" toxic community. Has anyone played cs:go or overwatch? lol And aren't you lv.1 honor? Kind of funny how a toxic player complains about a toxic community.

none of your so-called "disciplinary measures" work

that's an opinion stated as facts yet not supported by facts.

unnecessarily punish people for having bad games

bad behavior = deserved punishments. I admit it's not perfect, but it does follow that equation fairly well

Twisted Treeline is full of bots and cheaters, none of whom get penalized or banned

I agree that Riot should start cracking down a little harder on that but eh, not really somethin to quit over unless that's all you play. Some of them do get punished btw

and unranked is still full of assholes and feeders

we already covered this in the "community is toxic" portion, so now you're just repeating yourself

if this was a fair country, I'd sue your asses for microtransacting your players up the wazoo and then screwing them over like this with a broken game.

I don't even know where to go with this. Microtransactions aren't illegal, especially in the case like Riot where it's purely cosmetic and doesn't impact game balance at all. You would fail this lawsuit in pretty much any country. How are you getting "screwed over" even? You're just throwing out random insults that don't make sense at this point

I've been playing since the beta eight years ago and it was never this bad when all of these extra "honor" and "reward" and "xp" systems didn't exist.

In my experience, and I'm willing to bet stats back me up here, toxicity has generally gone down. Unless you're leveling a new account that is, because lower levels are (and always have been) cancer How long you've been playing doesn't matter by the way

Moving on to BattleRite and DOTA.

cool, glad you made such a dramatic exit haha. Have fun bud
