My biggest worry in the League of Legends community is that reporting truly isn't helping anybody. I know that whoever I report could easily create another account and continue to terrorize the community with absolutely no end. I don't see an end to the toxicity.
Since I have gone down to their level and got the pop-up recently ( occurred after a series of games shared with toxic teammates in a recent game where I blew up over one person's comment that I heavily read into as being negative and responded in a fairly similar toxic dialogue which I am ashamed of ), my first thought was, 'What would I do if my account gets banned?' I've already put some cash into it and that scared me the most - losing what I had purchased. However, because I actually really enjoy League of Legends over any other MOBA, my next thought was that I could easily create another account.
While I would hope to reform on a new account if that ever occurred, I know for a fact that the plague of any community could easily create a new account. And never reform.
I just finished an ARAM match where the entire enemy team was completely toxic. From inappropriate usernames to verbal abuse, they were the definition of toxic. As I was reporting them I thought to myself
What good will my reports do?
Those players were smurfs. With alleged alternative accounts. How can I rely on RIOT to help rid the community of these players?
A good idea that just came to me is a stricter banning policy that can help stop allowing toxic players to easily pass through past Lv.10. I think there should be various punishments and restrictions put on all players who are below lv.11. A good example of this could be that if you are below Lv.5 and have been reported five times, you will be temporarily banned.
I want to see results from my reporting because I'm starting to feel hopeless.
Don't ever go down to their level, because when you do, you're no better than them. Do your best to swim through it and once you get to the post game, get revenge with your reports.
