Trolls are fine, but don't defend yourself when people flame you!

Can't believe the level of nonsense surrounding this game and it's community when it comes to reporting. My last game I didn't do well, a bad game sure. However, I had a Katarina support (yea... a feeding kat support) flaming me on every mistake I made until I got fed up with it and told them off (no cussing at all). Other members of the team flamed me if I made a bad play and I told them all they need to learn to enjoy the game rather than cry the whole time, this remark was the gist of what I saying to these people in this particular game.

So at the the end I was "the reason" we lost and I was the one "complaining" and being "toxic" when I am simply defending myself when people attack me. Needless to say multiple players reported me and I end up being chat banned. It's ridiculous. It really makes no sense, I didn't even do anything wrong!

Rewind to a couple of days ago I accidentally ban a player's champion (Neeko) because they chose the champion in pre-game lobby right before I banned it and I didn't notice! So the guy says "enjoy the int :)" Picks Tahm Kench, camps out in my lane while ignoring theirs, then proceeds to fling me into the enemy team repeatedly and steal farm for the entire game. Needless to say... we lost. I reported this person and they received 0 punishment. That's right... nothing! This is unbelievable. Completely unjust.

I am uninstalling and Riot will not receive another cent from me. I'm tired of this lopsided reporting system that allows people to treat others this way. It rewards passive-aggressive and troll behavior. It's no wonder that people barely ever talk anymore on this game. You can make one or two statements that aren't even inflammatory and you are subject to penalty simply because other players "didn't like you".

So first, defending yourself is muting someone being verbal; not retaliating with your own shade.

Trolls and passive aggressive can be punished as well. These do sometimes take longer though

Finally, if you are waiting for a notification saying "player reported has been punished", then you may be waiting for a while as that system is inconsistent.

What a bunch of hyperbolic nonsense.

So, because you had a support who didn't like you, you're accusing them of trolling?

They could say the same about you, you know. Doesn't make it true.

Yeah Riot doesn't care.
