The fact that you can't be toxic, makes this game so toxic.
I couldn't post this opinion because there's a lot of bandwagoners who are just like "LOL UR TOXIC GET REKT SCRUB xD" on boards. But with the whole Dunkey getting banned situation that has happened I feel like you people can be a little more open minded.
The fact that Riot is intentionally out to get rid of 'toxic' players is the very reason why this game is filled with so much negativity. "BUT WAIT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE." Allow me to open your eyes.
How many games have you guys played where someone has asked you to report somebody? Try and turn that into a percentage. For me, about 80% of my ranked games someone will say to report someone else. But why? 'CAUSE HES TOXIC AF.'
Now, whether this report is warranted or unwarranted, what does that do to the person who you just said to report? It probably pisses them off. Why does it piss them off? Because they know that Riots system is a bot, and that it doesn't matter what you did. You are going to get dinged for the report regardless.
When you get dinged and reported and there's no way you can argue against it, no way to fight against the automatic bot, what's that going to do? That's probably gonna piss you off. Maybe you're gonna vent actual frustration now because you know there's nothing you can do to fight the machine.
God forbid you give someone legitimate neutral advice and they spout 'WOWE REPORTED.' This has happened to me on multiple occasions. And this is your fault Riot. You're turning your community into a bunch of bitches.
Text does not affect your game whatsoever. "BUT IT MAKES ME CRY INTO MY PILLOW." That's your own personal issue. But let me make it very clear:
Text does not affect your ability to play the game whatsoever.
If we did not have the ability to report other players for being rude, do you know how many people would stop jacking off to the report button? A lot. And then we could focus on bigger reasons to ban people.
Stop turning your community into a bunch of "WOW TOXIC REPORTED" bitches, and start focusing on actual things that ruin games. Like feeding, walking around the map randomly so that you won't get dinged by leaverbuster, champ select trolls, do something. Nothing is ever gonna be perfect. I completely understand that. There are lots of reasons humans are the way they are on the internet.
But stop punishing people for typing useless text into a chat box. Because that's fucking pathetic and this isn't preschool.
