Sick of the toxic too? SOME IDEAS HERE

Antiflamer pack

IDEAS: ** + IMPOSED MUTING: **Frequently reported players will be able to join games, but are MUTED/SILENCED in all chats by default and thus cannot type anything for a certain time period, e.g. a week/month (for instance, this penalty can be implemented in the case that a user gets reported 5 times for a specific communication-related action). ** + BLACKLISTING: **IGNORING and AVOIDING players you never want to be matched with ever again.

BACKGROUND STORY: My friends and I are sick of the so-called 'flame' and level of toxicity in chat when playing LoL. Losing a lane is part of the game; one side has to lose in order for the game to end, right? That does not mean a direct "intentional feed"... Sometimes other players are better or have a more suitable teamwork, no matter the league they play in. WE JUST WANT TO ENJOY THE GAME; we did not login to be constantly insulted - regardless of performances. summoner 3

WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS? Comment below and make LoL more fun for everyone! :)

Why be open to differing opinions and thoughts when you can live in an echo chamber? :^)

Then your poll is worthless, because it only allows for people agreeing with you, and as such makes no statement about how many people reject your proposal altogether.

You are just loking for yes-men.

*sigh* This idea again.

#Blacklisting is not practical in a competitive online game because people will abuse it to manipulate the matchmaking

While that is irrelevant in the lower ELOS, with hundreds of thousands of players per region, it is extremely relevant in the higher ELO, where good players would be blacklisted because people don't want to play against them.

Blizzard featured such a system in Overwatch, and it failed miserably for exactly this reason.

As to "imposed muting", this is already done, its called "Chat restriction".

You bring up some good points here. We are not proposing a copy of Blizzard's system, but indeed you may be on to something here. What if the blacklisting would only apply to players on your own team? Perhaps this may be a solution. The root cause problem is getting overwhelmed with negativity; the solution may be something else of course.

First of all, who the hell is "we"? The Pluralis Majestatis is kinda out of place here.

Wrong, that is exactly what you are proposing.

**+ BLACKLISTING:* IGNORING and AVOIDING players you never want to be matched with ever again.

Your own words. That is exactly what the "Avoid this player" system in Overwatch did.

What if the blacklisting would only apply to players on your own team? Perhaps this may be a solution.

No, its not, because the abuse would just go in a different direction: People would abuse the system to avoif players with lower KDA/winrate/CS, whatever.

The root cause problem is getting overwhelmed with negativity; the solution may be something else of course.

There is already a functional system in place that deals with toxicity, and does not carry the danger of being abused to manipulate the gameplay.

Not sure about what an ELO is but couldn't blacklisting just be implemented in bot games, non-ranked ones, and custom games. I too have found getting ragged out if I'm getting ganged up on by the other teams champions isn't productive. The most frustrating thing is when there's one player who keeps thinking they can get the nexus by themselves and everyone else is a nuisance. It can actually work on some platforms but we always end up loosing in TT.

Hey, good idea! Thanks for contributing! And yes, that would be a lovely start.

You can mute everyone yourself. The solution is easy, mute them.

We know of this feature, and this is not what we mean with "IMPOSED" muting. Now, one may choose to mute a player. The currently existing mute (if used in advance) causes you to miss out on the nice people to engage with. Imposed muting is different, it's a consequence of your actions, see it as a punishment by Riot - not allowing you to chat, because you have behaved badly in the past. A correcting punishment as such may also affect their future gameplay.

Blacklisting to include those players that don't ever learn from their mistakes and continue to do the same stupid shit over and over and over and over because that is just as toxic as anything people type.

I don't agree, I think it keeps people apart who don't want to play together. It can even be kept anonymous. I don't think the contributor meant for the blacklistee to get a notification that he or she was blacklisted on someone else's account.

I forget most of the gamers today are told throughout their life that putting their best foot forward for the benefit of others is not required and they have embraced that attitude. It's only right that the behavior trickles into everything they do without repercussion so the behavior continues and worsens.

You could always get better at the game by practicing specific sets of skills and having a real strategy.

It's only noobs that get flamed, and they don't follow Summoner's code #1 anyway.

It's an American game and American free speech is more free than Eurozone free speech. There is no need to make the game more Euro that isn't what made it successful.
