What would happen if Riot ACTUALLY banned all the toxic players?

League of Legends would have its player base reduced to the point of 's pick rate.

They would lose money on RP purchases, thus for it won't happen. Banned players = bad for business.

Yeah that was one of my points

If you mean everyone who has ever been toxic, then thjere would be no players left.

If you mean people who are chronically toxic, they already do. In time.

Pfft no they dont. They "chat restrict" them for 30 games

Right.

And then if they keep doing it they get a ranked restriction.

Then they get a two-week ban.

Then they get perma-banned and come whine about it on the forums.

People have this idea that there's a small pool of super-toxic players who cause all the problems. That's not how it works; those players do exist, but they get banned quickly. Riot can't really stop them from making (or buying) new accounts, but not many people are that dedicated to being jerks.

Most negative behavior actually comes from players who are normally fine but are having a bad game or bad day. You can't ban everyone who ever behaves badly even once.

Have you played any other online games where you interact with others a lot? Because comparing LoL to those games, The people in league, the AVERAGE person in league, is super toxic.

I'm going to say you've never played anything on XBL, because it's nonstop obnoxious teenagers. With microphones.

MOBAs tend to be somewhat rage-inducing in general because you're stuck in a match with a random team for upwards of 30 minutes, and one person doing badly or griefing you can basically force a loss.

My experience with DotA was far worse than my experience with LoL. My experience with WoW was roughly the same. My experience with SC was roughly the say, SC2 as well, WC3 as well, D2 as well, D3 as well, Hex as well, WKC2 as well, ME3 as well... they've all been relatively similar. All online communities are roughly the same, and a lot of it is dependent upon your expectations coming in.

The reality is the majority of people are ordinary, but sometimes have bad days.
