Really? You take away chests/key fragments and loot for chat restrictions?

So you place me in games with actual trolls/actual intentional feeders and you expect me not to get upset or say anything. I'm only human. You can't expect people to really be level headed when you are losing RANKED MATCHES due to these kinds of players on your teams. And I'm talking like...8 consecutive ranked matches where I had a similar situation. Of course I was mad. Even if I had taken a break I still would have been a bit miffed. And defending myself against my own flaming teammates should not mean I get chat restrictions. BUT when I do get chat restrictions, whether for defending myself or being upset at the inting adc I had one game and telling him to stop, that means I lose all possible chance of gaining loot after matches? wth man. maybe you shouldn't match me with trolls and feeders to begin with or actually have a report system that works and bans these fucking assholes who somehow manage to crawl into my ranked games. Thanks Riot. Your game has progressively gone downhill as I see these players sometimes multiple times a day. When I block a player I should not ever be in the same game as them ever again. Or when I report a player it should actually do something. But taking away the enjoyable rewards of playing regularly because I flamed a few times is stupid, considering what YOU and YOUR matchmaking system and OTHER PLAYERS put me through to put me in that state. I cannot control what other players do and it is 100% human to get upset when someone purposefully is losing and completely normal to tell them to stop or to go fuck themselves for ruining your experience for that game and losing you MMR. That's NORMAL. NORMAL people do that, even streamers do that but they are allowed to just yell it out loud instead of typing it. Normally your players shouldn't have to put up with abuse to even get to that point. Your stupid policy of making players hold their tongue instead of allowing them to get upset for the people they deserve to be upset at and 'resort to using the report system' is inherently flawed for many reasons. Maybe I wouldn't flame ever if and only if I had the ability to actually ban these players with one single report for doing what they are doing. Instead I feel like I am getting punished for playing the games and trying to climb out of this shitty elo you placed me in(which by the way amazing job giving me 3 games with leavers/trolls in my placements. Completely fair.) Despite utilizing the report system and blocking as many of these toxic players as I can, I still get upset sometimes. Normally I don't even talk that much in game or I joke around and I have a great time. But in those games when I literally cannot possibly win because you match me with bronze players against higher ranked silver players and expect me to win when every single lane and jungle lost except mine and they are at our base in 20 minutes...of course I'm gonna be mad. But, I don't even get notified of having 'verbal abuse' reports so I have no idea when/what games I am flaming so I know to stop doing it. You need a better system instead of being like "oh, you had chat restrictions(which by the way don't ever solve anything because you just play like 10 aram games or ascension games and then go back to flaming people) so that means you shouldn't be allowed to earn loot from games because only good players get rewards."

Change that. It's dumb. I'd understand taking away loot for players who actually get even a 1 day suspension or something but for chat restrictions??? really? so we have to be literally perfect little angels and aren't allowed like 3 games where you get a little pissed off at your intentionally feeding teammates who are losing you ranked MMR and LP? really? how is that fair??? Even if I mute everyone in the entire game it doesn't stop them from inting or being trolls. There is no actual defense in ranked against these people. Thank you for making this season literally the WORST ranked season I have ever played in league of legends.

You do realize that part of the reason for Hextech chest, was because the community suggested that Riot provide incentives for good behavior, right?

Chat logs, if you please.

As for the rest, no matter what is going down, you're not entitled to flame. Everyone has a choice of letting others affect them. You are actively giving them control over you and your emotions. You're allowed to be upset, but you do no good typing away in chat instead of playing.

We all agree to the terms of service. If you don't follow the rules, don't expect to be rewarded. It honestly is not difficult to use willpower and not start flaming in game. If it is difficult for you personally, that speaks more about yourself than Riot and might be something to consider taking time to work on.

defending yourself is not the same as counter attacking.

I'm far from a perfect angel and I haven't been chat restricted in ages. It's actually not that hard. Just don't say anything to them that you wouldn't say in real life and you're good.

Chillax. This is a game. Ranked is just a number and a metal. You will have bad games, just like everyone else, and you will have them in rapid succession sometimes. Just keep doing your best and eventually it will pan out in the end. Look at the bigger picture, not the next 3 hours.

Free stuff is for neutral/positive players, its a reward for being one.

I understand frustrating games, lost a 4v5 because my team (Lux of all people....) wanted to split push and kept feeding the Jax or Ashe. That is frustrating, but I didn't start raging at them or spew toxic sludge. I may have said something along the lines of "come on guys..." or " how are we losing this?" but that is about as far as I went (I believe). However! out loud I was pretty upset lol I was saying all kinds of crap about how they were losing the game because they were being "stupid" in how they were playing.

Say whatever you want out-loud, just don't type in chat. That is basically how you avoid being punished when you are upset. Also it is a game, its not serious nor does it have any impact on your actual life. So another piece of advice is to not care so much? I feel it is ok to be upset when you lose a game because its something you are investing yourself in for a period of time. To see it fail is upsetting, that is how games work. Some people can shrug it off or not care, others can't, we are all different and handle situations differently. Doesn't give you the right to be toxic though.

youre a silver3, and ive played lol for like 5k games overally, it isntthat bad, and mostly people with the restrictions are the bad ones.

I had someone claim i was some smurf troll trying to intentionally lower my elo because my decision making that game wasn't that great but I still ended up going like 16/7 as a jungler and getting towers but.... it's all paranoia you know? I really am bad at winning games but good at getting kills. It's just my flaw.

dude let me tell you. after two back to back chat restrictions what my resolve was. "no matter what the situation, no matter how much troll, just mute who needs to be muted and say gj when someone does something right" the only things you should say are gj, lol, and well played. alternatively rip the enter key off of your keyboard and pour orange juice in it.

Can't see an intentional feeder in your last 6-ish games though.
