Ok so this is what I don't understand. I received a 2 week suspension for "toxicity". Tell me how this works. It is almost like Riot is just going off of how many people report you instead of the situation and what the other person said as well. It is not right. You could be playing norms and have a whole team full of people that are friends. This is my situation- I played draft- I called adc this other person calls support. Sounds fine? Then we get into the game and he takes every single bit of farm I have and builds damage as a support. So I refused to go the lane with him. How am I supposed to play adc and do well if I cant get any farm or kills? Should I be subjected to build a gold item as an adc because this guy didn't follow the rules of the game? Then because they are all friends I get reported by all of them and get banned. It is absolutely ridiculous. Riot doesn't care about the situation they don't take the time to read into it. They just take your chat logs and the number of reports and call it a day. I think the system needs a huge fix. Why have a mute button if people don't use it? Why not focus more intent on the intentional feeders. I never see them get banned???? It is obsurd. You should have to be 18 years or older to play the game because the game is exactly like games such as call of duty. People talk bad about each other all the time to get hyped. That is the reason there is a mute button so people don't have to let it affect their game play. Simple. I don't understand why Riot is so harsh and not focusing their needs on the feeders. The people who REALLY ruin the game for others.

I've got something a lot of people keep getting confused about;

They ask "Why was my post deleted and not moved?".

I tell them it's a limit of the boards and not lack of moderator motivation.

Will they ever get the option (if they don't have it) to move a thread rather than delete it? I don't care much myself, but sometimes multiple moderators think a post belongs in a different spot. Mod A deletes it and says put it in Board X, Player 1 will post it in X, then Mod B deletes that one and says put it in Board Y. That is annoying.

On the topic of player behavior, what is/can be done in the future about players with passive/aggressive, condescending god complexes? Not just the super toxic ones who are non stop griefing in game, but the other ones that are toxic before the game has even begun. For example: Another player purposely banned my pick, then said "i looked you up" " you suck as__" then told me not to play ranked. There is nothing i can do other than try to find another pick in time after the intial shock of my pick being intentionally banned by my teammate, which resulted in the lock in timer running out and me recieving leaver buster for not locking in. Clearly, regardless of my alleged skill level of said champion, banning a teammates pick should ABSOLUTELY be a reportable offense, because not only did i get punished for his/her decision, i also have no way of getting justice for their wrongdoings. Im sure this has happened to others in the past, but it shouldnt happen unpunished in the future.

WHERE DO I BEGIN, I personally have never been banned and always have more or less I'd like to think positive reviews as a player, but HOLY CRAP man. I just had a Teemo on my team go sit in the enemy nexus stay invisible and screw the team, and kept telling the enemy team who's lvl 8 WHILE he's lvl 1 "you cant find me hehe" meanwhile they never tried to find him, steamrolled my team and won in 15 minutes. Now that makes me just not want to play the rest of the night and turns me off from the game, I didn't say crap to him BUT if i would have I'd of gotten reported for verbal abuse and that's screwy on so many levels SO here I am ranting to you RIOT.....tell me how your tribunal system is fair....i guarantee that same player will go on to P*ss off some other fellow members of the community they wont be as humble as me and tell the man what he deserves, and then you will punish them instead of him. priorities just DO NOT seem in line.

I have a doubt that just popped out.

Why mentioning or even implying self harm is against the rules when this game really makes some people feel very bad?

Is there any way to report individuals who are very toxic in the post game lobby? Every time i report someone who seriously deserves to be reported, I never receive the player was punished message anymore. Is reporting even doing anything, or are people like this going to be in more players game? https://snag.gy/EybXUS.jpg

Hey how would I go about submitting a report on a player who was in a lobby but didn't make it to game? Thanks in advance.

The reason for people getting unruly punishments is because Riot does not care, and since I'm sure most of you are well aware that they do not, then what is the point in posting what your problem was, knowing that they will not do anything about what had happened, even with you posting this and others agreeing with you. I can't get rewards because of a situation that put me on behavior restrictions, but I did not get banned, but muted for 10 games, and even after those 10 games I can't receive my rewards. The team I was with was a group of friends, because once I got upset with my Jungler for not assisting me when I asked numerous times. Then the team trashes me. I did retaliate which was a mistake on my part, but sadly nothing had happened to them when I reported them. Point being, Riot could care less about the people who play the game, meaning they will punish the one who gets reported by the entire team even though that person was not in the wrong. If you really want to not deal with the problem, don't play League of Legends. That's pretty much their view on people's trouble with the game since they have plenty more people who will still play, and someone is likely to fill your spot.

What is the policy regarding people who intentionally go into a thread solely with the intent of flame-baiting, mocking posters or anything otherwise counter-constructive to the conversation at hand?

Will the moderators be posting in here, or just reds/the volunteers?
