Start Banning Trolls

Ban them if they troll IN RANKED Literally just played a game with an easy win, and the Rengar and TF were obviously trolling and not teaming. I didn't say a single word because I knew it would make them continue with it, but seriously, can we start banning kids like this? Player just running in 1v5 and then laughing at the team when we have not said one offensive thing to them because we know they just want to report us for verbal abuse. This is ten times as worse as somebody swearing at you in chat with the simple mute button. Riot seriously needs to take one look at these games and ban the kids.

And after looking at this kids profile on lolstarz, you can clearly see he's been trolling the past 5 games at the minimum.

"Suck it up and move on to the next one." This is true, but it's hard when the trolls are suddenly so abundant in my games. Just ban them and move on.

EDIT 1: The fact that I have to come back to this post makes me honestly sick to my stomach. Next game I play, the MF says she's going to troll and has the wrong masteries. We all start to get kills and go up and then when MF dies, her and Blitz start cussing each other out. I had them both muted but unmute her to tell him to mute him, and she tells me he's a racist and she's filing tickets on both of us and to have fun with our bans. Oh, and all of this as she FEEDS into the enemy Jungle.

I can't take this game anymore. The trolls will never stop. GG league.

I do know they banned trolls because my brother got permanent banned for trolling but you should know that riot is trying there best to do so, no offense. [slayer-jinx-wink]

They already ban trolls. It is just a much slower process because it requires manual reviews in many cases.

The people in solo queue are a nightmare and cultivate toxic behavior. They have it honed to a science, and know just what to do and when to do it to piss people off who are trying to win. The second you respond to it, they call for a report for being toxic. This of course cascades into more toxic behavior, and dismantles any chance of teamwork. They look like the victim, and walk away from the match having achieved their goal. A couple common tactics are:

Timing shop visits just long enough so they lose turret and then die on lane when they arrive. They can then claim they tried.

Pacing back and forth during team fights halving the amount of autos they do to reduce damage.

Junglers claiming they are arriving for a gank, then they stop in bush right as the engage starts...someone dies, they claim lag or perhaps blame the lane they were coming to.

Basically subversive actions that cost team fights and objectives without being blatantly obvious. It only takes 1 or 2 of these to ruin a match.

If anyone calls them out, they jump to the toxic behavior claim. The only way to catch these types if is someone watches the entire game. I noticed these people a lot starting in season 4. They know enough about the game to abuse its flow, and turn the team upside down.

There are of course the normal trolls as well, which are in about every other game. Most people are so dead to it, not even bothering to report anymore...you actually have to beg people to report. Luckily these types are removed eventually.

...or it ends up being a "everyone reports everyone" situation and I know riot writes those off as a "we know everyone has bad days" thing, not bothering to inspect what set it all off. There are long term trolls in ranked, ones I've seen for 3 seasons...they know what they are doing and know how to avoid surfacing so they get noticed by the system. They don't feed, they don't swear...so there is no way for the system to find them.

Also, I'm only saying this after having encountered a few handfuls of these types on repeated occasions in ranked, the same players, the same behaviors in match after match.
