Trolls not punished, and their teammates get banned.

Trolls, as in people intentionally screwing around and planning on losing, but not intentionally feeding. Wonderfully, because Riot just doesn't seem to care about this behavior, mainly sense it is unquantifiable, they run around ranked with near impunity. So instead of working on a way to punish them, are banning their teammates. Now, being toxic is always against the rules, of course. But honestly, cussing someone out when they are intentionally throwing a ranked game and trolling in chat should not be punished. It may be a lapse in judgement, but it does not mean that player is a cancer to the community like the troll is. Again, I'm talking about cussing out TROLLS, not someone who loses lane 0/4 because they got dove.

So basically in 2017, trolls will join a ranked game, act innocent according to riot in chat, intentionally lose the game without feeding, and then report the people who flame them and convince the other team to do so as well. Result? Multiple die hard, non-toxic players being banned as the result of single trolls.

Posted something very similar just before you and as expected got downvotes. Couldnt agree more with what you wrote. This is particularly problematic in the 5th division of any tier because as we all know getting demoted to the 1st division of the tier below takes a long time leaving the trolls a lot of room for ruining other peoples games as they dont have to fear any consequences for quite some time. Bronze 5 in particular sounds like troll heaven you can troll for as much as you want, ruin as many games as you want and nothing will ever happen to you.

Correct

Sorry, in advance, for all the downvotes you are going to receive (not from me).

The saints on these boards are some of the worst in the game when it comes to toxicity, but they do so in a passive aggressive manner similar to what you described. It's quite sad.

Not punishing that behavior just means there'd by 2 problematic players instead of just one. This also encourages players to flame when there's hints of poor play. Where would you draw the line?

Sorry dude, just the fact that you getting downvoted for your reasonable post it shows that RIOT don't care about trolls, in fact trolls get key fragments as encouragement. The problem is, there is no definition for "trolling". I feel your pain and frustration, i went through it too until i joined the trollhood. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/n1IvbX7A-4-key-fragments-for-being-a-troll

This game is just bad. I never play unless I have at least one or two friends with me, if not 4. Then we just troll around and have fun. Ranked? NEVER. Ranked is just cancer.
