On a few separate occasions, I talked to RiotLaslow about a couple unfortunate situations with toxicity, and he said it's ok for people to troll as long as they don't do it too often. Is this really Riot's official stance or is he just not paying attention to Riot's rules? There's many people who get away with atrocious feeding and toxicity because they know the system won't catch them if they do it only once in a while, that needs a fix.

- Muck around and have fun ? sure, have fun. just not at other people's expense
- Off meta? Some people call that trolling, it certainly is allowed
- Feeding alot? Sure. some people are bad at the game, and you can't fault them for playing against a stronger opponent. That's just how match making works.
- Intentional feeding? Nope, that isn't allowed
- Using your skills to annoy your team mates (such as using Tahm Kench to eat your team mates and spit them out into the enemy)? Nope, that isn't allowed
- AFK (or AFK farming) as a griefing tool? nope, that isn't allowed as well
Oh no this has nothing to do with people being bad at the game, this is people admitting they are trolling and admitting they are intentionally feeding, and they still don't get punished and then literally, LITERALLY laugh at Riot because they know they won't get banned (it's really a sad, broken system we have here). I know very clearly how to distinguish between the two, mainly by the sentence "I'm done, I'm just going to feed mid lane..." I'm also not friends with him anymore or following him, so idk how to get the screen shot.
OneTrickZilian1 votesDying and feeding is different. You might die to a better opponent but dying 20 times to a same guy and calling "bad game" is unacceptable. This type of player is no better than any toxic player who calls him an "idiot".

I think glasses would be helpful to you. I already indicated exactly how this is different from someone not being good at the game. People who are bad at the game don't laugh and Riot and admit they're trolling. Even if they didn't, walking into a straight line over and over again and doing nothing while someone kills them is still intentional, and they can't be afk or they wouldn't be able to do it over and over again.
OnlyYouCanHearMe1 votesWas he saying it's okay for people to just goof around and have some fun, silly games every now and then without worrying about being punished for it? Or was he saying it's okay to deliberately troll and try to ruin a game because you won't be punished for only doing it once in a while? There's a pretty big distinction there. The first is actually allowed by the summoner's code, provided you are not doing it to deliberately piss off your team and cost them the game. The second is not allowed by the code, not even once. But it can be difficult to catch and punish people for isolated instances of trolling.

He literally said things like "So what if people are trolling?" "It's only once in a while" "People troll sometimes..." "It's okay to do it if it's not like every game." Now, I can see if you insult someone because you're just having a bad day, but multiple times isn't okay, and there's no excuse for intentionally feeding.
