We need zero tolerance for certain actions and Riot's stupid policy

Failog··3 votes·702 views

The one that really pissed me off is when someone builds six of these item 1006 with no intention of playing seriously. Its beyond unreasonable. They aren't tilting, they aren't having a bad match, they are purposely sinking the team because they think its funny to upset others and waste their time.

Why can't we know when such players that we report are banned? Give us the satisfaction so we know justice is served. They don't deserve any anonymity. Let us see that the system works. There should be ZERO tolerance for something like that. Automatic account deletion.

SO Riot are you serious about actually making ranked a better place or you still want to softball it in and not take a hard stance. Yes I know banning accounts means one less account that might buy IP, but you are literally fucking over your players by not eliminating these cancers as soon as they appear.

There is no reason to do what the Yas in my last game did. None at all, and he should be punished severely and quickly.

Actually, buying all one item is the fastest way for them to get noticed by the troll detection (which is pretty sad at identifying anything besides that...).

I do think trolls should get punished quickly, letting them know it's not OK, but instant account deletion is a bit much. Two week ban would probably suffice.

I disagree. There is no circumstances where doing that in ranked is acceptable. When players make a new account, players should get a screen that goes over zero tolerance offenses. If they still want to do it, well, they were told. So its not a little much. Its perfectly justified.

I'm of the opinion that no punishment to permaban is almost always too much. A stern warning and a slightly lighter punishment, with promise that the next time will be a permaban, would be just as effective at stopping trolling.

scripters get instant permas. racial slurs get instant permas. actively trying to lose should as well

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure racial slurs don't automatically get you an insta-ban. They can manually up your punishment, but I don't think by default you get a permaban.

That means then that players will be free to troll a game to death one time before they are banned? How about you just explain this is a zero tolerance policy from the start so it never even happens? You know why in Singapore you can walk down any street in the middle of the night and be totally safe? Because they have zero tolerance for things like drug trafficking. It carries a death sentence. So, no one does it.

Roflmao, using Singafail as an example for a video game. Might as well use Saudi Arabia as an example while you're at it.

They are nothing a like---Singapore is a thriving, multicultural high standard of living country that is GREAT to visit. No one wants to visit Saudia Arabia.

I think being banned from ranked for the current season would be a fair punishment for this kind of behaviour in ranked.

I think that would be fair.

I don't know. I used to pass on tribunal cases were there "troll" was clearly doing it to get back at raging toxic team mates spoke kind of like you are now.

While yes someone else being in the wrong is not okay, it does not give you an excuse to be a vindictive D$@# all because they made you lose imaginary points in a video game.

Wow. Look buddy, this is MY TIME we are talking about. The value I place on it is not for you to decide for me, nor is it for anyone else who wants to ruin a ranked match for others.

And he wasn't doing it in retaliation at me. He was doing it because our ADC asked him for help a few times because the enemy mid lane kept roaming bot, and Yas got annoyed at being told what to do.

Its cute that you like to comment, attack me as a person and justify the Yas, without knowing any details. You are clearly a high minded intellectual.

Not sure if I agree in this particular case, since the big problem is really that most trolls simply assume they won't be catched. Most of them probably wouldn't even have to be hit with a punishment to stop them; it'd be enough to make them understand that their behaviour can be detected (and thus punished).

Either way, what I wanted to really focus on is your idea about explaining zero tolerance bans upon account creation. That's actually a very good idea, in my opinion. Something along the lines of "Be aware that Riot regularly issues permanent suspensions without warning for the following offenses:"

Ya unless you build item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 you can troll away.

Congratulations, you just made the person who build six rejuvenation beeds plan a success.

Honestly this NEEDS to be on a message box with an accept button at the start of each game: MUTE, REPORT, MOVE ON.
