Riot works really hard to keep the game as toxic as possible.

Every game is the same. Some total ass hole on my team starts destroying the game either by refusing to help his allies because he only wants kills for himself or by feeding repeatedly without caring. These people are usually grouped with friends and the premade will start ganging up and blaming the solo players trying to get under their skin to entice a response. The solo player, such as myself, will stand up for himself by disputing the comments made against him, then the solo player will promptly get a chat restriction or ban for being toxic.

They say just mute and report. Well no that doesn't fix the problem because if it did I wouldn't have a toxic bag of trash in every single one of my games. They say just stay positive and try to win. Well no, it's a team game and if one toxic player is basically playing for the other team, you cannot possibly win a 6v4 game, especially with how snowbally this assassin's meta is today.

It is abundantly clear that the system is designed to protect the trolls and the bullies while punishing the victims who stand up for themselves.

No, the system is designed to protect those of us who aren't in either group. The trolls and the people who retaliate both need to shut the hell up so the rest of us can play a video game.

refusing to help or feeding without caring has never been bannable, and kill stealing isnt either. its feeding with the intent to lose thats actually a problem.

and yet.... someone is being toxic and riot removed them? how is that promoting toxicity? mute them and you wouldnt be chat restricted

because its impossible to rid every single game of someone being toxic. especially because for chat based offences it take multiple offences before a punishment of any kind is justified, barring hate speech or the like.

It is abundantly clear that the system is designed to protect the trolls and the bullies while punishing the victims who stand up for themselves.

or it just punished an equally toxic player.

If you're encountering toxic players in all your games then maybe instead of blaming Riot you should look at yourself instead and see if what you're doing is the reason why you're seeing so much toxicity. Why? Because the only one present in 100% of your games is you and you alone.

Yikes, talk about misplacing the blame. You said it yourself; "some total asshole..." as in, people are assholes. Clearly Riots fault though. And btw, you actually can dispute claims... that's how you defend yourself. You say no thats not true, I did this because of that yada yada... You probably took it beyond that though. But anyway, if you think theres a set of rules that will somehow control total assholes, I'd love to hear it.
