This game is a joke. [Day 1]

I'm posting this for 365 days until Riot does something with the ban system and player behavior. Sorry a head of time for re-posts and spam. This needs to be heard. Your statistics are wrong riot. Your artificial intelligence banning system does not punish people properly. I will not being replying to anything just raising awareness.

A quote by slippykitten.

After being frustrated several seasons ago by the declining state of the game, and that little to nothing was being done to deter people from griefing, trolling, and otherwise intentionally ruining games, I made this account to troll intentionally to prove trolls didn't get punished, but that you'll get banned for objectively pointing out trolls without cursing or being offensive.

I did that, playing normally for about 50 games to establish a baseline, then intentionally losing games by itning, trolling, using insanely stupid builds, and afking. I lost 80ish% of my games until I hit bronze 5 (the bottom at the time). I posted it here and Riot actually told me I wasn't trolling and dismissed my claims.

After that I stopped bothering on my main, it was too frustrating to play a coin flip of seeing which team gets the guy who decides he doesn't actually want to win.

I recently came back for giggles and played some games, and my fucking god, it is so much worse.

Not only have none of the issues from a few seasons ago been addressed, but they're actually significantly worse. The trolls, griefers, and afkers are all still doing their thing in more than 50% of games, and now they managed to remove nearly every element of skill and tactical expression from the game entirely.

The game is now like if you made a top down street fighter game with only 4 moves, no combos, and had to play it with 4 people who wished you were dead. It's literally unplayable as anything other than a joke to laugh at.

I honestly found myself just waiting to see who would lose their shit first and intentionally lose, rage, and spam pings and laughed at it. I don't think I experienced one competitive game where it felt like teams were evenly matched and everyone tried.

I understand why Riot is turning to making other games all of a sudden, the clock has to be ticking on this one.

I honestly want to commend everyone that has stood by and supported this game out of a love for the genre and what the original dev's created. But the reality has to be told - this game is an insult to the players that built this company into what it is today. I would make a detailed post about all the ways this game is a joke now, but it is very apparent nobody at Riot cares anymore.

It will properly counted as spam and therefore removed if you post it on a daily basis.

Then you're best off taking bets as to how many days you go before you get banned from the boards. Spamming is not acceptable on the boards.

You provide no proof the statistics are wrong at all - nor do you even say which statistics are supposedly wrong. You also provide absolutely no evidence that actual trolls are going unpunished in large numbers. You do not have all the data Riot does. You do not have some magic crystal ball. Get off your high horse and stop acting like others should be punished just because you label them a troll because you don't like how they played.

edit to add: You also apparently want Riot to do the impossible - be perfect. No, Riot cannot, nor would they EVER be able to punish 100% of trolling behavior. Put quite bluntly, trolling is an INTENT - you are asking them to punish behaviors, not intents. This is a very slippery slope - the second you try to define what behaviors are "trolling", I can show you not only a legitimate player with those statistics/build/whatever, but also I could concoct a game in which that player was the best on their team. You are advocating that Riot punish INNOCENT players simply so you can see people get punished for what you think is trolling behavior. This will never occur, period. Riot will always side with innocent players over your unhealthy and ridiculous need to blame others for your lost games.

If someone keeps being matched with people who "troll" and "intentionally feed" in their games, maybe they aren't as good as they think they are at the game. A lot of people who post here seem to think they're amazing at the game and it's only ever other people holding them back from winning. People need to get rid of their massive egos and realize that maybe they can stand to learn more about the game and improve their own skills.

I can promise you that you will NOT last the 365 days, guaranteed
