Daily reminder that the ingame community is extremely toxic
Riot, you might want to address this kind of toxicity one time before the end of the year or something in an official announcement or something that everyone can see, seeing as there is a board which seems to have many people complaining about the toxicity of your community.
Backstory of the picture: Rengar feeds, admits to feeding, and the Soraka and I decide to talk about the game in the postgame chat. Diana decides to chime in with this condescending attitude that seems to be what the League community is more commonly known for rather than sportsmanship and actual friendship nowadays. The other two on her two on Diana's team decide that they want nothing of this and leave as soon as she begins her tirade
Now, I do report things like this, because this is definitely a form of verbal abuse and unsportsmanlike conduct (even though my reports pretty much mean nothing at this point as I do have report quite frequently due to the ingame community being extremely toxic), but, it seems that when there's one toxic player banned, 3 or 4 more pop up in that toxic player's face, which makes it seem like Riot doesn't really address the toxicity in the community. Even in the area where I live in, many people I know play League, but they all say the exact same sentiment when I ask them how their experience is with League so far:
"Good game, terrible/toxic community"
Many people have suggested bringing back the Tribunal or having the Tribunal along with the automated banning system, as there are people in the community who do want to make a difference in the community by making it a better place, but that seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Others have suggested to be more open about the banning process rather than keeping many people in the dark, even if it is their own account. Personally, I would like to have both.
I also like this message on the boards that Riot put up:
> Culture
This board is all about fostering a healthy community in which discussions can revolve around player behavior systems, in-game suspensions, or boards moderation. This includes topics on how the systems work, insight into why players were punished, and advice to help players improve moving forward.
I really hope Riot will help with this, since the community seems to get much more toxic as every single season passes.
