NO SEASON REWARDS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN PENALIZED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SEASON 5

TLDR Don't double jeopardy players who have already received punishment during season 5 by taking away season rewards. Seriously, you don't have to give out event skins or event icons or mystery champions and all that jazz to toxic players but give us the dam rewards we deserve for achieving a certain rank.

CONFESSIONS OF A TOXIC PLAYER Seriously, as a toxic player I am constantly trying to improve my behavior due to all the great things I miss out on. From All Chat to the wonderful prizes given out during Events, not having these and constantly getting chat restrictions really makes me take a step back. I even resorted to just muting everyone in game and not saying a single thing and just grind out the chat restrictions until I can actually effectively communicate with my team.

So there's something you are doing right. The minor restrictions ARE a push for toxic players such as myself to reform. However, with the announcement that any player who has gotten even a measly 5 game chat restriction for saying "gg ez" or something benign like that in February WILL NOT receive any season rewards. Ok, that is just too extreme Rito, like come on bro. You guys are going a little crazy now with the penalizing and it's starting to have a negative impact on toxic players such as myself.

The light yet precise punishments have been the most effective thus far for me. However, the worst time ever was when I got something like 100 game chat restriction and I finished that out then RIGHT AWAY got another, yet lesser, restriction. The thrill of finally being able to enjoy all chat again quickly turned into a feeling of irritation. The most frustrating thing is knowing that YOU HAVE improved as a toxic player but still get punished over and over again. All of this makes me question what the end goal is.

Lyte's goals for this game are truly unrealistic. All this excessive punishment is creating a much more frustrating situation which is clearly the opposite of what is intended.

Rito is heading in the right direction and they really aren't that far from a nice system. Just take a step back. Look at your player base more realistically. Accept that we are all human and that there is no such thing as League Utopia. Enough with this double, triple, .... , n-tuple jeopardy non-sense.

"Reward" being the primary word here ! Rewards are given not taken away.

While I disagree with your op still I am Sorry you may miss out on something you worked hard for, best of luck to you.

I just find it funny that they put so much focus on the only thing you can control in the game (muting a "toxic" player). Yet they put no effort into punishing the trolls that cause the toxicity the vast majority of the time. It's truly mind blowing. Lyte thinks it's ok to intentionally troll your team, but not ok to call the troll out on it.

1 single chat restrictions losing season rewards is just crazy, especially considering how sensitive their chat restriction penalties are.

OP only earns the reward if they get the reward :( See ?

Not saying I totally approve of all of the changes, I haven't made my mind up. But, I do know if you No longer have a reward..You Did Not earn it , Get what I am trying to say ?

~Rob a convenience store. ~Go to jail. ~Serve time and get out. ~Rob a convenience store. ~Go to jail. You don't get to say "But I already went to jail for this in the past." True, but you did it again.

Double-jeopardy prevents you from going to jail again for the first robbery.

It's not hard to not be toxic in this game. If you get upset, say it out loud to yourself. Get a punching bag and hit it between games to let off steam. Actively taking the time to type things out, that's a decision.

The simple fact is that if you did something to get banned or restricted, you don't deserve a reward. Period. Rewards are for people who followed the rules and weren't douchebags.

I don't understand why this comes as such a surprise. They did the same thing last season, and stated that it represented a shift in policy direction. So not only were we warned about this, we were warned about it almost a year ago.

Hell, at that point, it's not even double-jeopardy. It's just an extension of the already-established punishment (not unlike tacking a fine onto a jail-time sentence).

Even if that weren't the case, it still wouldn't really be double-jeopardy, so much as a consequence of the original punishment.

Yeah I don't agree with the taking away of peoples' season rewards. I am not a toxic player myself so there is really no bias when I say this. By all means Riot, chat restrict and ban toxic players from the game, but don't take away their rightfully earned season rewards. It doesn't matter how toxic someone was, they were already punished with some sort of restriction, and taking away the season reward they worked for and earned is not right. Find some other way to punish these players.
