I have a legitimate question for Riot.

Exactly·Oct 2, 2015·3 votes·608 views

I know being toxic is a reportable offense. But why are people so quick to get banned/restricted for being toxic towards TROLLS and FEEDERS in RANKED?

I know it's bad for someone (like dunkey) who said all that stuff to that Malphite (which was a bit overboard), but holy hell if he was purposely feeding why was he not banned along with Dunkey?

Or posts I see on the boards with trolls having like 20 games of just feeding and then you say "fuck you" and you're banned and they're still playing.

I just want an honest answer.

If someone is being a jerk in a crowded store and you start yelling and cursing at him/her for it, how do you think that impacts other shoppers? Instead of one person being a jerk, now there are two of them and you can end up escalating each other to become even worse.

if he was purposely feeding why was he not banned along with Dunkey?

It's harder to catch intentional feeding than it is to identify verbal abuse, and it's something Riot is working on. Give it time.

It isnt at all. Looking at the graph is proof enough to see when someone's intent. feeding. You don't fail 5 towerdives before 10 minutes.

I've done it before, and it's super embarrassing. One of Riot's core policies is that they prefer accuracy over punishment numbers, and banning people for trolling when they've just been struggling in games is like kicking them while they are already winded.

There is no simple way to catch trolls, it requires a heavily nuanced approach. I expect Riot is working to learn the patterns and general markers for this sort of behavior, and it's going to take some time for them to perfect the detection systems.

So then everyone pre-level 15 should be banned then?

It was implemented a week ago, on low settings. Stuff this complicated takes time to develop. we didn't go from making the ford model to the toyota camry in a week.
