proposal to decrease toxicity: tribunal feedback to reporters

After being saddled with a team of idiots just now, who refused to take good advice, (me being the lone silver, in a full team of bronzes >.< ) I would like to propose an augmentation to the tribunal system. When someone attempts to report another player as "toxic", when they are actually giving good advice; I think there needs to be a way for the reviewer to say, "no dude, YOU're the problem. listen to them, they're giving good advice".

Part of the toxicity in this game is because bad players are bad. So GOOD players want to yell at them that they are morons. Part of the reason they are bad, is that they are clueless. They are clueless, because noone tells them stuff like this; what they should be listening to, rather than sticking their fingers in their ears and flaming people.

So, I think it would be helpful to have a means to give them "official" counter feedback, when the noobs try to report someone that is actually giving them useful advice.

But those reports would just get thrown out since they aren't actual reports. Let alone the amount of people who play this are probably in the thousands if not millions so you expect them to send a message to that many people in the hopes that they read and learn from it? Considering people are already like this do you honestly believe they'll read (possibly paragraphs) of why they are bad? If they cannot handle simple game chat help what makes you think they'll sit back and read notes upon notes of why they ar Eva's and how they can improve? People in general have a god complex. They believe to never the best and no one can tell them otherwise. Until they get out of that mindset nothing is going to stop them from learning! And the only person who can help them with that is themselves!

If you are consistently giving players good advice, and they are consistently ignoring your good advice, then maybe you should consider changing the way you give advice, because it clearly isn't working well.

Don't yell at your teammates or harp about their mistakes. If you really want to help them, speak to them calmly and civilly and give them things that they can do to help the team, rather than simply pointing out the things you think they did wrong or would prefer they don't do again. So, for example, instead of saying "DON'T DIVE THEM 1v3 UNDER TOWER U NOOB" say "next time keep poking and force them to b so we can dragon".
