WHY DOES LEAGUE HAVE the OPTION to mute people?..... people dont use it.... then REPort for being toxic...... and people get banned for typing "mean" words..... BUT people who walk right down mid dont get banned. and i dont see the InTer button.... there is no way to get ur wasted time back for being locked into a 20 min game.... but riot doesn't care for that.

Mute works to remove distractions from your game, regardless of it being punishable or not.

Reports dont solve an issue in-game.

It sounds like you just want to justify running your mouth and being toxic, and nobody is going to take that seriously.

Just throwing this here as evidence that does show inters/trolls do in fact get punished. Whether it is a rate we are happy with is another matter. Then again, we can't even agree what is and isn't trolling.

mute is a band-aid so I personally dont have to deal with your shit

report is so hopefully other people dont have to deal with your shit either

Muting exists so I don't have to deal with your toxicity. Punishments happen so that future teammates don't have to deal with your toxicity.

And keep in mind that muting mutes everything - including what should be coming from your "mouth" - coordination. Muting is not a solution, it's an imperfect bandaid.

Nobody is required to put up with your shit when all they want to do is play a video game.

Muting is helpful when you are trying to ignore a toxic player that keeps spam pinging or flaming you. Riot also recently added an option to disable chat itself.

Although I've had my personal experiences with trolls not getting banned even after they ran it down mid buying tier 2 boots in my ranked game, I do believe they do get banned. It's not at the same rate as punishments related to chat but they still do exist. It's really hard to determine whether or not they're trolling and I definitely do think Riot should improve their system but it is a really difficult thing to accomplish, you wouldn't know that since you are only playing their game, not developing it.

My best suggestion when dealing with trolls/inters is to submit a support ticket through Riot Support and a Rioter will manually review the footage.

Because some people like to mute annoying people. Then they report them for being so annoying that they had to mute them lol.
