That's It Riot, you win. I'm done, I quit your game. The trolling is just WAY out of control

I am sorry. I mean I have literally tried everything in my power to ignore, and try to play my game. But its just too much. I Have been working late nights lately. So I don't get to come on till about 3+ am EST time. I come on to play a few NORMAL games and hope to have some fun ... but NORMAL'S is littered with trolls at this time for whatever reason. It is by far the most highly toxic time to play this game its incredibly unbelievable. I just simply cannot take it any longer ... not enough is done it just takes too long trolls rule this game and no matter how many acc's u ban it will not change they will simply make new accounts to troll with. Unless you take some IRON CLAD stance on this issue it will never ever be resolved.

I literally deal with this issue in almost if not all games I play. Literally 90% of my games I cannot comprehend how that's possible but it really is or I would not be typing about it. I cannot practice and learn a champion to bring into ranked play, I cannot practice period. I have to play ranked in order to even get any resemblance of real play. I am at the point that I no longer desire to play. Logging on has become a chore that I immediately regret, rather than look forward to. I am a very competitive player, and I come online to play and improve and practice to try to reach plat / diamond. I made gold 4 last season and am now looking to reach higher. For example even tho this doesn't apply necessarily but in Street Fighter V where it is 1v1 I have been top 100 in the world throughout the games betas. And even on my 5v5's team I have two plat players who even admitted, I should literally not be in gold. I am even the shot caller for the entire team despite me being in gold and them being almost diamonds. Yet when it comes to climbing the ladder I am constantly bombarded by these trolls. It is literally hell and just torture to even turn the game on and even play ranked because of it. I am so worried about dealing with it that I have not even bothered to go through my 10 games yet. I played 2 Dynamic Que with my 5's squad.

It really ruins my ability to climb and not only that ... it causes me to become very toxic out of the anger of knowing that after all these years, I am still battling these trolls on a daily basis. Last season before the new rules came into play, I have gotten angry at trolls to the point where I have been banned for 2 weeks. I did not even receive my rewards due to it. And I am not going to defend my behavior but I am going to say that trolling is the direct cause for that behavior that occurred. I do not exactly know what I would like you to do or anything like that. I just felt that you guys should REALLY know how some of your player base likely feels and the fact that a player like me is about to just stop playing due to it should at least set off some signals to you rioters. I am honestly at my wits end at this point. I just kinda feel like maybe its time to move on, I can no longer enjoy the game I have loved for the past 3 years. Not only that, but it makes me fear for my own account because when I am forced to deal with these players. I myself become toxic and it will inevitably cost me my account which I have ALOT on to the point where I would rather quit playing then risk my account.

All I can say for sure is that Riot did seem to agree with what I said or felt during that game because for the FIRST TIME EVER since I have played this game. I FINALLY received that magic special message stating that I actually triggered a ban against this player who had trolled me in my game. Not going to mention names or when it occurred cause of witch hunting. However, I do know that the player was permanently banned as his friend who was in the same game, but didn't act like a douche showed me the screen shot of his friends permanent ban. However, as glad as I am that it happened it is still FAR and few between that I actually got a player punished for his bad behavior. From the 1000's of players I have reported through the years. Many this season and last season alone since the card thing has come into play. I have only received this one single time. I sincerely hope someone from riot does read and respond to this as I would like to hear their input. But yes, despite this man being banned for what I had to endure today, it does not make up for the mass amount I have had to deal with over time. And tbh, for whatever reason I truly believe my report had very little to no actually weight to him actually being banned. The enemy team actually reported him because they felt I was telling the truth about him. Because imo, why would my report just now finally be worth banning someone but not the other 1000 times I have reported players. So thinking that way it gets me even more down about continuing to play.

I really do not know what else to say but if someone from riot does read this ... thank you for reading this very big wall of text. I just have no other option at this point or any other way to vent my frustrations towards how you deal with trolling. I simply do not know what else to say or do. Simply put, if I continue to play it will be a lot less often this season now after this experience. If this experience continues and has to be my daily punishment for deciding to play your game then unfortunately I am going to have to end my time with this game at that point. I can no longer tolerate it, and I no longer have the patience to continue to deal with it daily while little to nothing is done to finally stop this behavior.

Thanks,

Legendary Uchiha.

TL:DR "I quit, and I wrote big letter to tell you why I am angry"

dude, what do you consider a troll? just someone who bad/dies alot?Someone who picks a offmeta pick? Because there is no way you get someone who buys only boots/zeals and runs down mid to feed every game. And that is the only tru definition of trolling in this game. Haveing someone who picks badly or sukz isn't a good excuse for you not being able to play your champ well. This post is hilariously over-dramatic, I havent gotten a actual troll in a long time. Instalockers are different and i doubt riot bans for it.

EDIT: Learn not to take the game so seriously, its not med school.

I am not a Rioter but hey, I read this big wall of text! You are most welcome :3

On a serious note, I think enabling and encouraging queuing up w/ friends is Riot's way of tackling the trolling problem for now; not sure though so don't quote me on this.

I would just continue playing w/ friends and if and when you do queue up for norms/ranked w/o them, just be mentally prepared to deal w/ excessive trolling. It is at this point a huge headache I agree w/ you.

Fortunately, the solution is Riot encouraging more games with friends.

GL!

Just played 8 Bronze ELO games in a row. Not one troll, flamer, or AFK on my team. I went up a rank in a half ._.

You only get the "the person u reported got punished" if you were the very last person to report them.

You could of got hundreds punished and you would never know it.
