Actually, Tribunal was more lenient, not less, than Riot's behavior team. It was removed because the system had gotten bogged down. It took longer and longer to build fewer and fewer cases.

Probably because they could not get their AI system to even remotely confirm these reports at any capacity and there system was likely getting way to many false positives than Riot was comfortable with.

Same with with the Intentional feeding. Outside of a few obvious scenarios that Riot could detect to either confirm or deny the system is still very "safe".

Meaning if you report someone for intentionally feeding and they are killing creeps between deaths. I could almost guarantee you Riot's AI system would say they were not intentionally feeding. Few other obvious ones.

In the end it comes down to Riot as a for profit corporation. The reason I believe the tribunal was removed was because the gaming community was punishing more people and for offenses Riot did not want. In the end Riot was not comfortable with the number of players the community was removing and the potential revenue they were losing. So the system was removed.

Riot is a for profit company. Every action they take is still with the intent of giving them a net gain. There is a severe disconnect between what the community has always wanted Riot to do when it comes to providing a high level of quality regarding player experience actually in games. This is because Riot is still at the end of the day a for profit company and they will always be. Any plan or suggestion that net's them fewer players and thus less revenue overall is something Riot will never do. This is the fact that a lot of League players will never understand or grasp. Probably because of the average age range of League players have yet to be 100% on their own and experienced all the great things one discovers when they are on their own.

I cant say i understood 100% your reply, but mostly because english is my second language. But i got the points, and i understand them.

The tribunal was removed because they banned too many people who could give money to the company. There is a case where having a bad experience in the game makes players leave the game, healthier players who also could pay them for skins and those things.

Anyways, thank you for the big response!

The closest would be "griefing" honestly

Or maybe you're misinterpreting their skill level as losing on purpose?

GetattorexFeb 25, 20161 votes

That would be "Unskilled player" which they also removed, btw.

It is not misinterpreting when the player goes afk farm in the jungle knowing that they're doing that to lose.

I'm not quite explaining myself correctly, but i hope you understand. It is just not unskilled player.

Well they removed unskilled because that was a trap report. Anyone that used that report function had their account flagged and future reports weren't given as much consideration because reporting someone for being bad just isn't a fair thing to do.

I mean, afk farm in the jungle is a strategy. It's the exact same as farming in lane without ever roaming. He's acquiring gold as quickly as possible, especially with devourer. It's just not something Riot will ban on because a player made a choice to keep...jungling. When a lane has issues, it's not really the job of the jungler to fix it. It would be nice and beneficial, but he's not a pet of the lanes and as such Riot won't actually take action.

Unless he announces he is afk farming to try and lose. Then they can.

" Anyone that used that report function had their account flagged and future reports weren't given as much consideration "

Really? that doesnt sound honest. I used that report, but not many times. Only when i saw players who were really bad in my opinion.

Anyways, that game, our jungler wanted to lose, she said so. It wasnt a strategy, it was late game, the enemy team had baron i think, and they were pushin mid against our open inhib and Elise was farming jungle.

NahuiFeb 25, 20162 votes

That's a reason they removed it. It wasn't a real report. It's unfair to have a report because bad option. You don't actually know if they're bad or if it was an off game.

Well if she said so then that's not cool. So long as it isn't a report based on the fact she didn't gank.

Yeah, sounds reasonable! thanks for answering!
