  1. You aren't allowed to leave the game.

  2. There isn't a clearly defined list of rules. and punishment visibility is horrendously poor. forcing players to figure out the invisible "line" through trial and error. and they simply get 4 guesses per account.

  3. There is nothing a player can do to deal with an inter or someone who's just plain bad

  4. The moderation system is disporpotionately harsh on negative chat vs negative gameplay

  5. if someone trolls you or harasses. you aren't allowed to say anything back. and you're expected to trust a report system that you've never seen any results from for anyone other than you.

  1. Nope, and in games like HOTS or Dota you aren't allowed to leave either. In any sort of ranked queue no matter the game, you do get punished for leaving early.

  2. Creating a hard brightline of X is acceptable but Y isn't, is not a good system. As soon as you say, going 0-3 in lane is worthy of a ban, people just get around that by following their jungler and taking their cs. Each region has their own standards of what is and is not acceptable. That's part of the reason why there is no brightline. What can get you banned on NA could be alright on EUW. And let's be honest, at some point, if you keep getting punished that's just willful ignorance. Some common sense should apply.

  3. Yup, same as every other game. You can't do anything like that in Dota or HOTS (I'm using these games because they're the closest examples that we have to League).

  4. You're right on this one.

  5. I know that you've been on this board long enough to know that the report system does work. Trolling or harassing someone back does nothing but esclate the situation and makes the whole experience worse for your entire team. Literally no good can come out of it.

I am personally really getting sick of the level of arrogance and "Im better than u" attitude. Sick of getting That 1 or 2 player in EVERY match that thinks they are the "best player ever" so they spend the entire game telling their team how to play, what to play, and reminding them every 5 seconds just how "Garbage" they are because the snivelling little egotist of a toddler thinks they are superior to everyone else on thier team. So instead of it being a team game it becomes 30-40 minutes of ONE person's "I am a diamond smurf so let me spend the entire match telling you how trash you are compared to me, and how you need to NEVER play ranked again because you cant play at MY level"

Seriously I am definately resisting the urge to unload enough of a verbal a$$kicking to make these entitled little snowflakes go cry into their carebears. The level of Smug on these spoiled brats is unbearable "I'm Diamond/Plat. Dont look at me, worm. Bronze and silvers are unworthy to even talk to me" and you wonder why this community is a diseased sack of horse droppings, its becase everyone acts like their "Porcelain Brownies" dont stink. Yeah I suck, I make mistakes. I am not the best and likely never will be. Doesnt mean I need some entitled brat telling me EVERY 5 SECONDS how bad I am just so they can make themselves feel good.
