an idea to help combat toxicity.

why not make it. so any line chat that would be flagged as offensive by the automated system shows up in a different color "only for the player who said it so people dont just report them off the fact that its there" many players who are "toxic" are doing it without realizing it. or do it because they're baited into it. some type of in game warning telling you "hey, tone it down" doesn't exist and the "you have been reported" warnings are buggy at best. in addition. players who are chat restricted or banned. would be shown exactly what in their chat logs got them banned which imo everything you typed in one game doesnt tell you anything other than you did SOMETHING. but not what.

This would be a reverse-learning system.

Instead of the system learning how players are toxic, toxic players learn how to abuse people without being detected. This just makes that really easy. What is "punishable" is intentionally vague. If you think it might be rude, just don't say it.

in my opinion. and im not alone. id rather have flamers abuse the system and not flame as much. and be able to tell when im being baited so i can mute everyone and shut up

these vague wishy washy answers while yes they stop people from being deliberately offensive and getting away with it. these people are a very small minority of toxic players. compared to the people who tilt occasionally. or know that a line is there. but not where it is or when they cross it. and would gladly follow the rules if they only knew what they were. and whats being a jerk to one person is being nice to another. so that raises another issue

basically. borderline toxic players are getting screwed over more than the actual trolls

the problem. is players who are prone to rage but are otherwise fine. have no tools at their disposal other than mute and report. and its not enough. and the habitual trolls already know how to abuse the current system. im sure they have multple smurfs that they use to test to see how fast it takes for something to get you banned. and they will premade off any warnings they get

realistically, the behavior control nature riot pursues is redundant.

they should really phase out the chat system in-game, and replace it with a pre-made message pings system.

just think about the time difference it takes someone to type out something that_** may/may not**_ be toxic, versus the time to use a hotkey ping.

i love how reds and blues always tend to disappear when you bring up a point they cant shoot down.

Or, I was watching the LPL match and just now checked replies? Why do you think I'm obligated to reply to you?
