We can fix this

TL;DR Let's promote good behavior by punishing bad behavior with losses.

"I hope your kid dies" This is the worst thing that has ever been said to me in a game of League when I told them I was afk to check on my sick child.

We need to stop putting up with this. I'm tired of seeing legitimately unhealthy behavior for the community in league games. Every other game, there's someone, on some team, talking trash on everyone in more than just some friendly smack talk. It ruins this game for most of the people who play it, so why do we allow it?

The other day I was in a 3 man queue, and we got paired with a fizz and another player. That fizz got himself very fed off of last hits and did quite a bit of damage, it was almost a free win. Well, that fizz started bad mouthing the entire enemy team for no reason other than he was being an awful person. I'm talking racial slurs, homophobic insults, jokes about mothers, everything, completely unprovoked. Well, I got upset and told him to stop, in all chat. He replied in all chat that I wasn't needed and I could just go afk, so I did, along with my 2 partners and the other person we were matched with. We sat at the nexus and watched as they pushed in the mid lane and took a win. The enemy team was so shocked the 3 of us (and I'm assuming the other guy) got 5 honors from the enemy team, which has NEVER happened to me before.

But why is this such a shocking thing? If we want to fix the community, we need to force justice where the tribunal won't. We need to hit them where it hurts, by taking away their wins, if it happens often enough, I guarantee that people will start to act better in game. I honestly believe this should even be a thing in ranked, let's make bronze 5 a place where the worst people go, not the worst players, you can always recover from a loss or two, but if these people keep acting like that, they won't be able to.

So what do you say? Could this be the answer to the awful behavior of toxic league players?

the three of you getting together and going afk is no worse than what he did. People who rage like that dont care about league, or the community.
So no. This doesnt help. it gives you a loss, gets you reported, and makes him feel like he successfully trolled. You and your friends should have just carried on, and not played into it. You just have to mute the people like that and report after. 3 of you reporting him after game would look a lot better to the tribunal had it not come from 3 people who went afk and pouted in the fountain. They dont just look at the behavior of who was reported. They look at the behavior of who sent the reports too. Not to mention, the 4 of you together punished your poor 5th player really badly. I feel tremendously sorry for whoever they were. to deal with a toxic, plus 3 rage quitting afk's. Poor sportsmanship, poor handling. just accept that the tribunal can't fix every single rager, and mute them. There is zero reason for you to continue reading what they say and getting more angry if you have already established they wont be saying anything useful.
