So when did people think THIS was okay?

The past week there has been a rapidly growing trend where people have been attacking EVERYONE, enemies and allies alike. Not just any ordinary trash talk or chiding, though. It's been going zero to a million just in the champion select screen, outright death and rape threats, looking for any excuse to throw the entire game, even by autotilting and triggering themselves over a person's bans or something even pettier, and overall just being incorrigible little shits.

I don't know who encouraged this behavior, but it has already spiraled out of control. Whoever is responsible for it, ban them forever, ban everyone on their friends list forever, and anyone who even so much as THINKS about their name should also be banned forever. It's time to show that you are not going to tolerate this shit for even a nanosecond, Riot. Make people fear for the security of their account every waking second of their lives, and every last one of their smurfs, and any new account they even think about opening up once their main ones get banned.

This is a new trend..? You must be new here. I suggest you find another game, or stop playing ranked.

I've been here for three years, soon to be four, and it was NEVER this bad in the past. And I'm talking about unprovoked attacks.

By the way, if that is the new trend around here, then the Arbiters are not doing their job. People should be shitting themselves in fear if they ever see a red, green, or blue post.

I understand there are those that get mad at people for making mistakes but there are even more people who AFK/DC constantly, troll, intentionally feed, don't play a team game as a team, don't communicate, etc, etc.

Until RIOT starts punishing these things more severely to make most of them go away, there will always be chat toxicity. RIOT is punishing ass backwards and not effectively limiting the idiots that cause most of the chat toxicity in the first place. My punishments have always been the result of some asshole doing the above listed garbage. That garbage exists because the punishment for that type of stuff are rare or just a slap on the wrist (LPQ). RIOT needs to use common sense.

People feel helpless when they get one of these offenders because not only is that person wasting others time, something rarely happens to them, punishment wise. I don't understand why people don't see this.

I think you got really unlucky. Mute the bullies and report them. Leave their friends alone except individuals who behave the same. I don't play much outside of ARAM, co-op vs AI, and fun modes... so I could be wrong. I've had some pretty bonkers teammates too, but I mute them, report them, and move along. I even got confirmations about my reports before.

Fight fire with water, not fire.

I'd say it's about half as bad as it was back in S4 when I started playing. At least, it seems that way to me.
