Bad Teammate Features?
Hey everyone.
I had an idea to try and encourage less toxicity and bad behavior in the game. Similar to the Honors you give post-game, I think there should be a feature where you could comment on someone's inability to be a good teammate. Nothing worth a report, but something to notify others by.** The Dishonor System. **
You could have things like Bad Teamwork, Inability to Communicate, Spiteful, or something to that number.
And if a player gets too many, they can wear a neat little badge so everyone knows they're a bad teammate. To get the badge off, you either have to be not reported for (x) amount of time, or get enough Honors to equal it out.
"Wouldn't that just encourage dodging?? Knowing the person's a jerk??"
I'd rather dodge and wait 5+ minutes than have a potentially 30+ min game with someone who is hateful and not interested in working with others.
"Wouldn't that promote trolling with the Dishonors system??"
Similar to the Honors system, have everyone have a certain amount they're allowed to give out. If someone spams Honors, it obviously means less, because apparently they think EVERYBODY is a great player. Same with this. If someone's spamming Dishonors, make each click mean less and less until it's just virtually nothing. Along with this - if a lot of people are Dishonoring one specific person, especially within a single game/team, then clearly there's something that needs to be looked into.
Anyway, just thought this would be a decent idea to help improve the attitude of players in the game. Being scared of the community is what kept me out of League for so long. I'm happy to be here now but some days the hateful players all decide to get on at once and just make the game unbearable.
