You can have a team full of toxic apes and they all gang up on you with a 4x report but the moment you even think about reporting them you're already suspended.
Wrong. If you do nothing wrong, it doesn't matter if four players report you, nine players report you, or even just one player reports you - those reports will be meaningless and no punishment will be applied.
More reports =/= more weight. Four reports weigh exactly the same as one report, as all they do is trigger a review. Tantram has shown us the code the IFS uses to execute a review - if the number of reports is greater than 0, the match is reviewed.
You can't even stand your ground because that will get you BANNED.
Why would you need to stand your ground? Just mute them and report them.
You don't even get priority queues anymore, you get a bugged chat restriction that claims you'll be able to use more chat @4:00 and never receive another. Then you get suspended.
The chat restriction isn't bugged, and you never got priority queues in the first place. The punishment system goes 10-game Chat Restriction > 25-game Chat Restriction > 14-day Suspension > Permanent Suspension, with tiers being skippable if your behavior was bad enough or if you're making it abundantly clear that you didn't get the message from a prior punishment.
I got suspended for 2 fucking weeks... all because I retaliated on toxic players but I.. get suspended.
Yeah? Because counterflame is still flame. Toxicity + Toxicity = More Toxicity. Riot doesn't want that, so you get punished for retaliating.
It seems that riot approves of toxicity...
Wrong.
...but standing your ground and proving toxic players wrong and or calling them out for hypocrisy gets you reported. That's just not fair.
Again, why do you feel the need to "stand your ground" in a videogame? Mute them, report them, and move on. It's not worth your time or your account to deal with toxic players.
If you click 'I Understand' it's like signing your name on a ticket, claiming you did something wrong. Don't click it if you are wrongfully punished.
The vast majority of punishments are not applied in error. Yours is no different. You retaliated, your punishment was correctly applied.
(Also if you suspend a player, FIRST there needs to be a 24hr timeout, then a 48hr timeout, then a week, THEN a 2 week, THEN a BAN...)
How many chances do you really need to learn that what you're doing is against the rules? The current punishment ladder is lenient enough. If you can't learn after the 25-game Chat restriction (which is a hefty enough penalty on its own), are you really going to learn after being forced out for a day? Two days?
No. The 14-day ban is Riot's last warning, and it's not going to be a gentle one.
Also FIX YOUR DAMN REPORT SYSTEM. There doesn't need to be an Ai looking over reports, because if you are defending yourself and YOU report someone, the system will punish you even if they DIDN'T report you.
...No, that's not how the system works. At all. If no one reports you, your behavior will not be reviewed, and you will not be punished. The IFS doesn't arbitrarily punish random players when only one person is reported. How you could even imagine the system working like that is crazy, but, then again, self-victimizing is a crazy thing.
There needs to be a team of HUMANS looking at reports. The amount of people playing this game is GREATLY exaggerated so regional report teams would be fairly small as will bring PROPER and FAIR justice to the rift.
Small teams cannot handle millions upon millions of reports.
