It's hard to take League Ranked / Esports seriously when RIOT doesn't cull the Trolls

A lot of things lately have been about Esports and it's cool to see the way pro players play the game at a competitive level.

However, for the average person, the most competitive thing we'll be involved in is Ranked, but Ranked is obviously not taken seriously by RIOT.

If it were, Trolling, AFKing, Role-stealing, etc. would be ban-worthy offenses like they should be on the FIRST instance that it happens.

I'm not advocating that players be banned from the entire game, but at the very least, they should be given a ban from Ranked matches. If they persist in Normals or other modes, give a harsher punishment. If they show they can go without Trolling Afking Rolestealing etc, then let them try Ranked again.

As it currently stands, RIOT doesn't do anything in any reasonable time-frame. It's unacceptable. Having to deal with such players even once should be enough.

Take your own game seriously if you want others to, RIOT. Esports and competitive play means nothing if trolls are left alone.
