You chat ban toxic players. Makes sense. I don't agree with rank banning, though. I think rank ban should be a punishment for players that troll in ranked games. Toxic? Chat ban. Troll ranked games? Ranked ban. Why are we mixing the two?
i agree i never saw chatting as a problem ive played cs go cod you name it trash talk is great keeps games entertaining only problem is when someone is trying to lose the game. I still dont get why there is a punishment for something you yourself can fix (mute option)
LMFAO I wish it was only a chat ban. I got first time warning being toxic with a TWO WEEK BAN. Tell me how this is fair guys. TWO WEEK ACCOUNT BAN FOR A WARNING. LMFAO.
That makes way too much sense.
That's like asking "Why do people go to jail for stealing someone's credit card information? They only committed a paper crime, so they should only have a paper punishment (a fine)".
The goal of Riot's punishment system is to reform. When taking away chat isn't enough incentive for you to be less toxic, they give you another incentive.
i agree, i don't play ranked why do i get ranked restricted? 2 games ranked restriction at first, 35 games ranked restriction then (also like 100 games chat restrictions summarily), 0 ranked games played, 0 games intentionally fed, a couple of games i lane trolled for 2-3 minutes running from lane to lane to confuse people what i wanted... all those restrictions are simply for speaking with people in the lobby. most of reports went when i was on a series of win streaks too

Toxic? Chat ban. Troll ranked games? Ranked ban. Why are we mixing the two?
Because Riot considers trolling to be a form of toxic behavior. They also consider verbal abuse/harassment/chat spam/offensive language/etc to be a form of toxic behavior.
There are only two forms of sanction available for non-verbal toxicity at the moment: Ranked Restrictions and Time Bans. As such, players who troll, grief, or are otherwise toxic without using chat are more likely to receive a Ranked Restriction quicker.
Meanwhile, chat restrictions are explicitly intended to address verbal toxicity. However, should chat restrictions prove ineffective, future sanctions can be escalated to Ranked restrictions or even Time Bans, depending on the severity or frequency. It's important that these tools remain available for use in appropriate situations - as incentives, they can both be very useful in encouraging reform.
Because low elo players tend to lable people performing poorly as trolls.
