THERE WERE PRIORITY QUEUES FOR TOXICITY. It would be 5 games with a 25+min queue timer to even queue up, then a 10game and so on until there was a 1 day suspension then a week then 2 weeks....
Must've been 5+ years ago, then. I recall the Tribunal existing and the current punishment ladder coinciding at 4 years ago, so, my memory can tend to fail at anything I wasn't around for.
No what they did was, make a system that would get anyone reported no matter what he/she to you.
Reported, or punished? Because, anyone can report anyone for anything. The IFS reviews the matches to make sure those reports are valid, and, if they aren't...No punishment is applied.
And, regardless, as I mentioned in another post that you replied to, the IFS doesn't care what other players say when reviewing someone. The data Riot pulled from the Tribunal leaned heavily towards the community consensus that there's no difference between an instigator and a retaliator. Both are flamers, and both should be punished when reported.
If you were defending yourself you get punished too which is total bs when considering that an Ai can't distinguish someone who was in the wrong (since they see everything as wrong)
Retaliation is not defending oneself. It's retaliating. Counterflaming. Attacking back. You retaliate, you are in the wrong.
You can defend yourself (and others) without retaliating. All it takes is some well-thought wording.
My punishment was NOT done correctly for it's far too harsh. Especially considering the fact that once they began being insanely toxic (attacking me instead of attacking my performance) I muted them.
Question: Did you go through a 10-game chat restriction and 25-game chat restriction prior to your 14-day ban? If so, then yes, your punishment was issued correctly. Riot's not going to give you chat restriction after chat restriction after chat restriction. They want you to learn or to leave. The 14-day ban is supposed to be their message "stop now, or we're going to kick you out."
As for the toxic players: Mute them BEFORE they get "insanely toxic". Mute them when they start being toxic, PERIOD.
and chat restriction is bugged. In the 2 times I have been under a chat restriction punishment (the first time was for calling out a racist for calling my team mate a n*&$!r) I was only ever able to type 3 times.. and it would tell me I would be able to chat again at 4:00, there is no way you can tell me its NOT bugged if it's literally currently bugged (atleast for me)
I suppose you're right in a sense - there's no way I can tell you that it isn't bugged, because I haven't had a chat restriction. If you suspect it is bugged, though, go here.
Why would I stand my ground? Because I'm not a pussy or a pushover. I'm what you would call a human who doesn't take shit from little punks but I believe in fair and proper punishment. Which is why tribunal was so great. (sucks the removed it)
I'm not a pushover either, but the thing is, I don't give toxic players the time of day. Do no harm, take no shit. Fighting flamers with more flame only makes the game worse for everyone else - including you.
As for the Tribunal - the Tribunal is ostensibly fair because it involved community input. The issue is, it actually wasn't all that fair because most of the justice was being done on a backlog, meaning players were getting punishments for infractions committed months ago. That isn't fair or proper.
Which is why they removed it in favor of the IFS - it can review a match and issue an appropriate punishment within mere minutes, and on the scale of millions of matches with millions of reports. Plus, Riot still tweaks the IFS to match the community consensus of acceptable/unacceptable behavior. The abbreviation "KYS" used to not be zero-tolerance, but Riot saw the community really, genuinely did not like being told to kill themselves over a videogame, so they tweaked the IFS to consider it zero-tolerance.
And the report system is flawed. False reports have gotten players punished... As a joke my buddy reported me for inting when I dove enemy fountain 1 second before we took their nexus AND I GOT SUSPENDED. Luckly it was a throw away account
I'm disinclined to trust what you say on this matter - moreover, regarding your account being suspended. I know that there have been false-positive cases, but those are often very quickly rectified by Riot, and they are very few and very far between. The IFS may be in some way flawed - but it's certainly much better at its job than the community as a whole could be.
