When is Riot finally going to take this game seriously?

Yeah, it's another ''RIOT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE REPORT SYSTEM XDDDDDD'' circlejerk thread.

Riot, if you are somehow reading this (I'm saying somehow because this has to be your least visited board) what hell man? This game is rotten to the core with filthy players calling eachother the n-word, telling eachother to kill themselves and griefers that ruin the game because they didn't get to play Yasuo mid. Especially EUNE, which has literally no decent people to talk to, not even in high elo (I'm not high elo, but I've seen a conversation there and it's just as bad as Bronze). Just last game, I played with this person named (edited out but he played Xayah) that flamed me (Hybrid on-hit Teemo) and this first-time Yasuo in ARAM for performing horribly. Wrote in excessive caps, told me to kill myself, demeaned Yasuo multiple times so after the game was over, I obviously reported him. But guess what? No matter how many reports he gets, Riot isn't going to care. He's not going to get a chat mute. He's not going to get a honor demote, let alone a 14 day ban. You shouldn't have to be reported excessively for Riot to step in; some people are too lazy to report because they know that Riot doesn't care about it's playerbase. But oh boy, as soon as Dunkey says something, the dude who has supported Riot Games for years on end with back-to-back concent, he gets banned.

It's a miracle that this game hasn't died out yet. If I had the RP, I would migrate to EUW without a second thought. Atleast then I wouldn't have to stand with people telling me to kill myself because I'm a ''fcking 12 year old idiot'' followed by Polish or Greek slurs.

Riot, fix your shit together. It's literally not that hard. You're just lazy.

End rant that is going to be forgotten through time.

There are roughly an equal number of rants posted on these boards claiming lack of action, as you have claimed, as there are rants claiming that Riot over-polices the community and imposes unreasonable behavioral restrictions upon us. This tells me that it really comes down to making sure your own perspective is accurate.

The individual you had an issue with last game (You're not allowed to name and shame here, by the way, so edit their name out) absolutely broke the rules. If you look at some of the threads on this board complaining about action against their accounts, I'm sure you'll see that individuals catch punishments for similar behavior to what you witnessed all the time. Please note that considerably fewer notifications of punishments are distributed than actual punishments, meaning that this person that flamed you and your team could very well have received an appropriate punishment without your knowledge. I'm not sure I understand why you assume he'll get away with it.

So obviously I'm not the only one who's unhappy with this game.

What? I have no idea what this means. That I'm sure the other player is flaming or is misbehaving?

You get PUNISHED for complaining about toxic players?

Meh, I guess, however I feel like if players were actually starting to get punished, this game would be a lot less toxic. If they are getting punishments and they're STILL misconducting, maybe it's time to get rid of them for good.

I'm not sure I understand why you assume he'll get away with it.

This game has been toxic ever since..Season 3? It's Season 8 now. If this game was really starting to turn for the better regarding community and proper punishments, then we wouldn't have as many people complaining. Ask anyone to name an example of a ''game with a bad playerbase'' and I can tell you for an absolute fact that League of Legends is the first choice.

I'm not trying to bash you or shut down your point. I'm just saying that I think your perspective has flaws.

If you look around this section of the boards, you'll see tons of people crying about their bans, for behavior identical to what you're upset about, as I said above. This demonstrates to me that the system is working, to an extent that is perhaps open for debate. But I heartily disagree with your assertion that the individual in question here won't be punished. All signs point to the contrary. Maybe they will escape justice in your specific case, but that behavior is clearly and demonstrably punished, up to and including the possibility of a permanent ban if they don't learn their lesson from lesser punishments.

The fight against toxicity is endless. I simply don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I think it's due to two root causes: The MOBA structure, which encourages feast-or-famine gameplay and punishes teams for having bad players, and the F2P model itself. Neither will be changing appreciably in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, Riot's system does its best to pick out the bad eggs and give them chat restrictions, suspensions, and permanent bans as appropriate.

I'm sure Riot is open to well-informed suggestions as to how their system may be improved, but to suggest it's not even functioning is quite incorrect.

If they were hate speeching and telling each other harm each other, they will be punished if you reported them.

If you were exaggerating their toxicity, don't be surprised that they don't get immediately punished.

I am being directly told that I should kill myself atleast 3 times a week in League of Legends. Actions must be made.

oh look, people getting punished over toxicity.. This is just a small sample of the system working within the past 24 hrs.
