Bring back the tribunal

Upgrading the Tribunal

This new automated ban service is just bad. It does not do its job and unjustly punishes and ignores actual misconduct. I just played a game where my team was toxic to me and i get a message in post game chat. it makes no sense. I used to use the tribunal and then it was taken away and all i have heard and seen is how the automated service doesn't work. Wasn't the tribunal supposed to come back? I've put too much time and money in this game to have some automated program give me warnings when I'm harassed in game. and that's because i try muting people as often as i can. I've witnessed friends get chat restrictions or ranked restrictions while not being toxic at all and only thing they say all game be tips on ability order and builds. This community is overflowing with toxic people yes, it always has. The tribunal should be brought back and actually have some incentive for people to judge and have their decisions saw through. By incentive i don't mean anything ridiculous that would make people use it for just the reward. something that doesn't help you in a way but maybe an icon or badge next to your name on forums. anything at all. I wouldn't even need a reward. Just knowing that i can get rid of some toxicity/trolls would be enough. 7 months have passed since the announcement of a new tribunal. I know there are people that don't care and just want to play the game, but there are a large number of people in the community that do care and want the tribunal to return.

My experience has been that the chat bans and warnings are highly accurate. Lyte's a numbers guy, through and through, which means that he wouldn't keep a system that was malfunctioning to any appreciable degree.

As always, if you feel that a ban or restriction was placed in error, please feel free to put in a support ticket. The people in Player Support are super awesome, even if they are a bit overworked.

I saw a post recently in which Lyte mentioned the new Tribunal. I don't think it is dead.

Lyte (NA) - 6 days ago 4 of 5 Rioter Comments I wonder how many players will notice this response:

In the new Tribunal, players can review and vote on positive chat logs. If the players agree that someone was positive in their League matches, something neat happens in the client for the player.

another thing on this. Lyte says only 5% of players are punished. For this statistic he is using the number of accounts created in league, not the actual number of players. The actual figure is probably something like 20% or even more. I regularly see 2 or 3 people on my team chat restricted when I do the VG tournament.

Tribunal needs to come back.

I was banned for 2 weeks after I called Teemo "Satan" and it was considerate "Extremely toxic behavior" after I was unbanned I was instantly muted for 15 games. This system is not what it should be...

I also want to note that the in-client pop-up warning you refer to in your opening paragraph is part of the reporting system, not the chat restriction system. It's been around since well before the Tribunal was taken down (longer than I've been playing, for sure).

I couldn't agree more. I just received a two week ban after a game in which I was playing with 2 teammates who refused to work with the rest of us. After multiple requests for them to stop messing up our match, they began to tell us to kill ourselves and called us autistic. I said "ignore those retards, they're the reason we're gonna lose" and several hours later I received the ban. I'm about to uninstall because this is absolutely absurd

I seem to recall something in the preseason previews about Riot saying they were working on bringing the Tribunal back (although I may very well be wrong). Hopefully they haven't forgot about this objective :)

The report warning typically comes from games PRIOR to the one you're playing, not the one you get it after.

Well hopefully the Tribunal comes back and then no one can blame the system if they get banned anymore.

Has Lyte not destroyed enough people on the forums for you to realize that the automated system is doing exactly what it should be? And that true bans are always looked into by an actual employee?

Or do you just like to keep your rose colored glasses on and believe that this community isn't full of sub-human trash?

To bad you do not understand how the system works. So let me enlighten you.

IF you get reported you can and will (even when the tribunal comes back) can get the msg that you have been reported by players. This does not mean you are in trouble. But it is a warning overall that your behavior was found questionable by some players(that have good records).

At this point you are not in trouble or even in line to be reviewed(unless you get that msg alot).

If you are getting reported a lot the automated system checks certain things in the logs. IF it thinks their is a problem it is reviewed by RIOT PERSONAL for a ban.

So your complaint is this tread is prettys stupid and your stirring up the other idiots that refuse to read what has been posted by Lyte and the down time of the tribunal.

Highlights from Lyte talking on this.

Tribunal is coming back but is doing a massive overhaul. It is coming back when it is ready. A in game msg does not mean you are getting a suspension. 14/ permas are reviewed by Riot personal IF people miss report a lot their reports have no value.

If you are going to make a thread on this stuff you would think you try to keep up on this information.

Getting a warning does nothing to you, even if the tribunal is running you will still get that message if you get mass reported in a game. If you dont get massly reported in a series of games that warning really does absolutely nothing to you other than hurt your ego a bit. If that still concern you, well... just get over it.
