potential solution to "omg i got banned to a troll"

make it so if a player is punished for verbal toxicity. anyone in game with them found to be deliberately provoking them. is escalated to THE TIER ABOVE whatever tier of punishment player x was at or bumped up a tier. whichever is more severe. and if a player is punished. any recently reported player who has queued with them the last 10 games is put up for review by the bot

imo the main problem isnt that people are butthurt about being banned for retaliation. theyre upset about being banned for retaliation while the other guy gets away with provoking.

The baiters are racking up infractions the same way that people who retaliate are. Punishments are usually not for individual incidents. That is why you see complaints like "I was banned, why wasn't he?". Because that ban wasn't just for that game, It was just the final straw for you and not him.

Each game is just a drop in the bucket.

Some(if not many or even most) of those people you think are intentionally trying to bait people aren't. Just becuase someone said the first thing that triggered a negative situation doesn't mean it was intended to do that. People should take responsibility for themselves.

The other guy doesn't get away with provoking. They get reported and it counts towards their future punishments just as the "provoked" person's report counted against them.

Or, people could just be mature and not retaliate.

regardless. players vulnerable to being provoked need to be protected. and people think "i can ignore it not my problem riot shouldnt fix it" are equally toxic. i shouldnt have to EDIT MY FUCKING GAME FILES TO TURN OFF CHAT just to avoid being provoke

Everyone deals with being provoked in some way or another. Its a matter of how one deals with perceived provocation.

If you feel that you are more likely to poke back at people then it is Your responsibility to act accordingly not the company giving you the free game. In other words, you are the one who has to decide if you need to turn off your chat not Riot.

In every case where you have multiple players yelling at each other, both are responsible for provoking the other more. So your solution would have the effect of 'Players squabbling with each other get banned more than someone who bitches alone.' I think that's the opposite of what you were going for. Furthermore, many perceived provocations are non-verbal--things like taxing lanes, never ganking, supports stealing cs, etc., so looking for the original provocateur is futile.

Everyone just has to be responsible for themselves.
