the thing is, the reform system as it works right now is based too much on.. feelings. i think the way riot approaches the toxicity issue is by trying to make the person feel bad, like, go sit in the corner and think about what you've done
but toxic people, speaking as someone who has been banned, don't give a shit about other people's feelings. to me they're not real. they're just people on the internet. im not toxic anymore and i haven't been punished since the ban but that's ONLY because i don't want to get permabanned. and im willing to bet that's the only reason 90% of toxic people "reform"
but then there are people who come off a ban and just find a new way to ruin everything. whether it be trolling, afking, or passive aggressive things like "?" that you can't get banned for. they're still toxic. they just have to be careful with how they do it so they're not banned.
that's still the kind of behavior that good players don't want to be matched up with. it still ruins the game experience for them.
if there was a "prisoner's island" i would say let it be a free for all (exception: legitimate death threats and suicide baiting) so that toxic people can all wear each other out. being around that kind of behavior every game is exhausting. it would ruin the game experience for them and they would finally realize what they've been doing to their teammates.
maybe you can get off on good behavior or something. THAT is how you encourage reform. not by giving you a slap on the wrist and sending you back out into the game with several more chances to ruin people's games.
i, personally, have improved my behavior a ton since i was banned but many people don't. people get banned, make smurfs, get their smurfs banned, make another one.
stop matching those people with new players!! there are so many people in this game who just want to play casually and have fun. they should not have to put up with assholes.
idk. i think it would work really well
sorry for wall of text
