Here is how Riot needs to fix report system

  • In ranked games, ability to report someone for "toxic chat" is removed
  • In ranked games, **ALL **players in the game are started **muted **by default. You can choose to unmute other players if you want, but cannot report them for toxic chat after game if you choose to
  • In ranked games, all other abilities to report stay in, such as feeding, trolling, greifing, etc
  • In other game types, chat will be on by default, and you can report other players for being "toxic" in chat (ie: if someone offends you or hurts your feelings, etc)

** In order for LOL to be a serious competitive game (ranked), you cannot also enforce safe space/no criticism/flowers and bunnies chat.** Trying to enforce both (as they currently do) will cause exodus of serious players to other games. LOL will then continue to lose respect from serious gaming community and be turning into Hello Kitty Adventure Island type game going forward.

Keeping safe space chat policies for other game types is perfectly fine, since many casual players will play these types of games and its not expected or acceptable for your teammates to be annoying or rude in these game types

Edit: downvote squad has arrived

so in order for league to be competitive, you have to be able to shit talk and harass your team members without repercussion? I have an easier solution. Just don't be an asshole.

Ah yes, punish everyone because some kids can't act mature.

Why don't we just get rid of the toxic people, then there won't be any problems anywhere?

i know im not hi elo or anything but chat has served as an important tool for all the game I have won. Having it off on default is not the right option (seeing how refusing to communicate was reportable not that long ago). Granted i disagreed with you at the first line. There is a reason you are getting down vote.

I agree with this, most other report functions are warranted by how they directly impact the outcome of the game, while negativity is something that can be ignored. As I see it, as long as they don't give up, afk, or intentionally feed, then they're no issue to me and bear no influence on whether I enjoy the game in the end. Play norms with friends if you find enjoyment in talking with your teammates, but ranked is an environment where enjoyment should stem from playing to the best of one's own ability and winning. So even if they were negative, if they try their hardest throughout the game then that's what matters.
