How riot SHOULD be fixing toxicity in ranked

the biggest problem. is they are solely focusing on the toxic player. rather then the toxic game

Step 1. crack down harder on SUBTLE trolls. and players who grief without using chat or going 0/30 with 6 tears

step 2. fix low elo. by adding the following features for gold players and below

  • a block list to prevent you from being matched with the same troll twice. this would not prevent them from being on the enemy team.

  • promo guard. while in promos. zero LP or in placements. until you reach plat 5. you cannot be matched with anyone who has been reported in thier last 3 games or has a chat restricton. or LPQ

  • ranked timeout. if a player loses more then 3 games in a row. dies more then 20 times in a game. gets demoted. or fails promos. that player is required to play 3 normal games before returning to ranked

  • eliminate autofill in low elo.

step 3. start taking a harder stance on smurfing. if riot doesnt want to do IP bans fine. but make it so smurfs arent a deciding factor in who climbs. an idea i had. if a player in low elo is winning too many games. they get flagged as "possible smurf" and they would be matched in thier suspected mmr for a certain number of games. and the players they would be matched against would be notified that they would not lose LP for this game. and thier rank would be temporarily changed to prevent the smurf from knowing they have been flaged by using websites such as lolnexus

step 4. add incentives for people to play unpopular roles such as support. maybe free loot or extra IP

step 5. start EVERYONE in bronze 5

I feel like this would be abused. All you need to do is constantly block people you believe to be unskilled, and viola, no more unskilled members on your team but still allowed on the enemy team.

promo guard. while in promos. zero LP or in placements. until you reach plat 5. you cannot be matched with anyone who has been reported in thier last 3 games or has a chat restricton. or LPQ

Once again, I feel like it can be abused if you're judging purely from the report. Reports are not always true. Knowing that it would prevent them from getting certain players in their promos, players could just report skilled enemies to have a better chance.

ranked timeout. if a player loses more then 3 games in a row. dies more then 20 times in a game. gets demoted. or fails promos. that player is required to play 3 normal games before returning to ranked

I'd be fine with this, but it doesn't exactly solve any problem. It just delays it and shifts the problem to normals for three games. Heck, the people forced to play normals might be more prone to troll just to get the game to finish faster so they can go back to ranked where they want to be.

eliminate autofill in low elo.

I'm pretty sure low elo is where auto fill is needed the most considering how little people want to play certain roles.

How about you just suck it up?

I bet 99% of 'trolls' aren't trolls. People would rather claim they are trolling than admit they suck. It's an ego thing. Honestly, all of your suggestions are either stupid or already implemented.

riot would just ban the ones who type "toxic" shit and call it a day
