League might have the most psychopathic community ever.

Just saw a post on Reddit asking Riot to start banning players that afk.

I don't even understand why we have a ban system to begin with.

The only thing that should exist is chat banning for trigger words, and whatever they do for names that contain trigger words.

I cannot understand how you could want somebody banned because they do not want to play with you.

A lot of comments were also about afkers in promos. League matches people off a hidden mmr system. The lp and ranked system is only there to satisfy your ego. And people demand bans because they don't reach their desired league.

This problem never existed in SC2(which had ranked 3v3 and 4v4), which had leavers and major toxicity. Never an issue in Call of Duty, a major toxic game. People just play the game. The point of a game is to play it. If your not having fun, 2 easy options: either stop playing, or leave,try again, and hope for a better experience. Why would you demand someone to continue playing in this specific lobby for 20+ minutes exclusively to satisfy your ego?

What is the worst thing that can happen from toxicity and leavers? Losing the game(ignoring having an account banned, or someone having mental health issues). And what is this worst thing that can happen from losing a game? You Queue up for the next game. "What if my mmr drops?" Does mmr dropping prevent you from queuing? The only hit you can take is to ego. And it is the ego's of this community that makes it so unreal.

Go ahead and get this out of the way, probably got downvoted because you are insulting people who just want to play the game without people breaking the rules.

I noticed you said only chat bans and name changes should exist. Guess that means you are okay with trolls and inters. Might contribute a bit to the downvotes too.

The various punishment systems exist as a way to dissuade people from breaking the various rules that exist. We are using a private companies servers and as such they can determine rules. No different than me going to a private establishment irl.

I won't comment on SC2, as I didn't play it. As for CoD, I'll provide anecdotal evidence to the contrary. People would complain about being down a player, especially in no respawn modes. Was largely also just "casual" until they introduced "League Play" in BO2 which was "Ranked". Left early and you got locked out of League Play on Probation. Also, it is less a matter of satisfying ego and more of a matter of "Don't fucking queue if you have no intention of actually playing" it isn't like CoD where people can jump out of a game and somebody else fills the slots as the game continues. Once it launches, you are locked in the match with those people. Unless you have an emergency, you should not be leaving.

Do we need to full blown ban afkers? Only if they are doing it liek every game. Do we need to ban toxicity? Imo, yes. If League let people spew shit freely like CoD does, I wouldn't play. I'm here to play a game and not be treated like shit just because I did something you disliked.

Guess you won't be playing the new Gears game. They are banning frequent leavers for 2 years. That must upset you, even if you don't afk.

I don't believe people should be banned for mild toxic behaviour in chat. This includes saying things such as ff15 your trash get good stop feeiding why you int? mid, jungle, top, bot diff you suck etc

How any of this can be so toxic that it will harm a person is beond me, I dont even see people say GG EZ or get good at end of game anymore I'm actualy quite sad that it doesnt happen. I assume it's becasue people don't want to get reported for just BMing players which is silly, games need mild toxicity for the game to be healthy in the first place. Someone must under stand that right? bring back good ol' BMing! and while your at it get good at league you trash noobs.

Ah, the infamous league board downvotes. "How dare you not be a sheep"! What did I say, that your rank doesn't matter? Did I go against supporting carebear society? What a joke, don't get why I bother posting here, just keep circlejerking. What did I say that's worth a downvote?

Just saying, riot doesn't ban for a game for 1 "bad game" Everyone is entitled to their opinions on how riot operates their(tencents) game Riot has to blindly punish everyone equally, since having exceptions to the rule is obtuse.

Riot can't know you dc'd by accident on intentional You agree to their rules when playing their game

I play tft :P

AFK and Leavers do get punished though.
