I know, we're fighting with toxicity, but I think we're going wrong way and here is why:

  1. After punishment 60-70% player are never get punished again (like tip says on game loading screen), because they're reformed. If they're reformed, then why you gonna punish them one more time?
  2. Why you didn't informed in advance that players won't recieve ranked rewards? What if you'll come up with more punishment, so player will have to get punishments again and again?
  3. Even being toxic, isn't I deserved my ranked rewards? I didn't notice that you're nullifying results of pro-teams, because later their player started being toxic.
  4. There was many promises about that system will alert player if he's being toxic. For last 2 years I had just 3 alerts. While I had chat ban, 5 chat restrictions, 2 ranked restrictions, and was suspended for 1 week. So your system more oriented to punish toxicity, not prevent it. If I got alert that I will get 35 ranked games restrictions, if I'll keep being toxic, I think that I could start to control myself better.

I know there will be lot messages like "you're toxic, go to ban" etc, but guys, if you want to meet nice persons, then be nice persons yourself. Don't judge people for their worse mistakes, especilly when they already get their punishment.

Why are you downvoting, and not saying why? Is it fair? Let's be polite!


**Update: ** Lyte changed his mind.

so from what i heard if u get a any kind of ban in any part of season u will not get Season 5 Ranked Rewards is that correct sir ? thanks in advance.

I made a huge blunder earlier, then was on a flight so didn't have a chance to correct the post earlier. In the last season of Leagues play, we excluded some of the Ranked Rewards from players that were excessively toxic (so, exhibited severe offensive behaviors such as racism and sexism) or were persistently toxic (so, exhibited moderately offensive behaviors in a large number of games). We're going to continue this policy this year; however, there are some slight changes: One, we always want to encourage reform, and celebrate players that successfully reform by the end of the season. So, players that got a Chat or Ranked Restriction during the season, but manage to reform and DO NOT HAVE active Chat or Ranked Restrictions by the season end cutoff will still get their Ranked Rewards. Players that still have active Chat or Ranked Restrictions by the season end cutoff will not be eligible. Two, players that have received a few Low Priority Queues will still be eligible for Ranked Rewards because we do not want to punish players who may have gotten a few queues due to ISP or hardware issues; however, extremely chronic leavers that have left a huge fraction of their games or hundreds and hundreds of games will not receive Ranked Rewards. These are players that have ruined hundreds of thousands of games, and have had multiple 20 minute Low Priority Queues. Three, players that have received escalated bans (so 7-day or 14-day bans) for excessive toxicity at any point during the 2015 Season will not receive Ranked Rewards. Players that have received these types of bans have shown some of the most egregious behaviors in the game, and we have a zero tolerance policy against things like racism, sexism, homophobia and other kinds of hate speech. These players WILL be eligible for Ranked Rewards in future seasons if they reform and are not flagged for excessive behaviors in future seasons. Hope this clarifies a few things and sorry for the mashing of sentences in the earlier post. Good luck on the rest of the season!

Ikr, a lot of players changed their behaviour after their first punishment because they don't want any again. For example, the Low Priority queue during 20min, nobody likes to wait that long before playing a game and have fun, so people who got there once doesn't want to be back there for a second time. It's kinda unfair if they don't get their 2015 ranked rewards because of this, mostly if they got punished the first time because of an internet issue. I mean, come on, people worked hard for these rewards after all...

yup everyone watch out dont type in game if you get enough reports in a short period of time you lose your rewards! even if you werent toxic or you reformed and already paid your dues! All because if you get reported frequently in a short period of time no matter wrong or right you WILL get chat banned. I watched an lcs coach play 16 hours a day for a month and get chat banned/ranked banned for not being toxic but being reported by players he would tell to stop trolling/scripting when he would run into them while leveling up his smurf account. Riot actually told him it was because he played alot of games in a short time and that they wouldnt reverse it LOL. This is the company you all seem to think is all nice and cares about their player base. news flash its 100% all about the $$$$$$$$$

Ranked Rewards should reward positive sportsmanship just as much as they reward great play, so the most negative players who are Ranked or Chat Restricted at the end of the season will be ineligible to earn ranked end of season rewards such as the loading screen borders or Victorious Morgana champion skin.
