What about Queueing Trolls with trolls, and team players with team players...

So I got to thinking, we have this report/honor system, we have leaverbuster and other trolling/afk prevention systems, why not put them to use?

What if as well as role preference and MMR, your afk %, report percentage, and honor % all factored into who you are teamed up with?

It would certainly increase Queue times, but I would literally wait 10x as long to play with 4 other guys (or gals) who don't flame often (if ever), play as a team, and pose low troll risk.

On top of that, imagine what kind of reform potential there is for consistent troll-ers to have to play match after match with 4 other troll-ers?

Is such a system possible? Would it be a good thing or a bad thing? I'd love community thoughts and if a Rioter could chime in that would be great!!

Edit: A link posted below discusses the idea of a "Prisoner's Island" system and its likely downfalls, so maybe the reform potential I assumed is actually not a potential at all, but maybe there is a system that is more reward heavy than punishment heavy. Always seems to yield better results when people are working towards something instead of working away from something.

RIOT doesn't want to ever have a "Prisoner's Island" thing in their game.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This!

I've been thinking about this for a while. The game would essentially institute player communities based on their behaviour. I don't doubt that there isn't enough players to support this at anyone time. These communities wouldn't have to be hard and fast either, but could operate on a scale where you are placed with groups of people in the same area of the scale. The more you play the more you move around the scale based on your behaviour, reporting, afk's, and the honour system.

I've been thinking about trying to setup a community of people I know so that i'm always playing with a group of likeminded people. The downside to this is not getting to meet and play with new people.
