im not a ranter, so im just gonna say what i think is wrong and how to fix that, because id really to see this game in a better state this is mostly addressing community behavior and the toxicity bred within

i think solo queue unlike organized team play is a gigantic root of toxicity and frustration. specifically because theres no inherent respect for other players. this game is based around or at least intended to be won through skill, mechanical/strategic/tactical. in solo there is no opportunity to install strategy because of indepence, and tactics are only effective if enough people are working together(same playstyle). in addition theres little room to develop real connections between players. so a solution to my diagnosis, a rough outline that is: team play must be the go to play mode, whether through random team creation, forced to play with the same team through several games or something similar. designated leaders in particular is integral to a team game. i could go on but im not here to brainstorm all over this thread. i genuinely want to see these massive issues get fixed at the root rather than whats right in front of our face. ex: banning someone for raging at a player dieing due to lag spike. incidents unlikely to occur in friendlier settings.

i can understand how making a game is difficult, and im pretty disappointed by the tone of feedback generally given. but i mean this in only the most constructive way possible, because i think this is a realistic step/solution/perspective towards ending negative attributes in players and bringing a community closer.

also i feel riot is a place that might consider things like unlike other games

i cant stop myself from brainstorming so to firther add to altermatives: players have the option to 'prefer playing' or to 'not play with' a given summoner. those not designated are put on a list that have a good chance of being on your team later, while prefered are given priority, and higher kda's are also given priority.

as an addition to the designated leader thing, better named shotcalled maybe, these players are given more impactful in game messages/pings for example

The problem is the punishment system is created by non-toxic players.
