Riot, How many discussions are created daily that try to address how the "soft trolling", "inting", "afk" behaviors that plague this narcissistic community need better consequences?
Define "better consequences"? Because, as it stands right now, trolling and intentional feeding get a 14-day ban, going-on-permaban for verified offenses. That's some pretty harsh punishment - fair, to be certain - but still harsh. What "better consequences" do you have in mind?
At what point do you guys finally say "you know, there's probably SOMETHING we could do to make it at least A LITTLE better than it is"
You're assuming that Riot isn't doing anything to try and combat trolls and intentional feeders? Just because we're not being given details about the stuff that they're working on doesn't mean they aren't working on things.
What about opening up "the tribunal" again for this function?
The Tribunal had plenty of problems that resulted in it getting iceboxed in favor for the IFS. Particularly, low participation rate (which led to a backlog of offenses and people getting punished way too late for offenses committed even months back), and the issue of sacrificing report accuracy if participation is incentivized (when Riot tried to incentivize Tribunal participation with Influence Points for majority votes, people tended to just click "punish" regardless of the actual behavior, skewing results for the sake of easy rewards.)
Add to that the fact that a lot of the community have a hard time discerning actual trolling/intentional feeding, and you've already got enough problems to prevent the Tribunal from coming back.
Honorable players gain the ability to review reported game replays...
And tying Tribunal participation eligibility to Honor comes with its own swathe of issues, first and foremost being that setting the bar for participation any higher than Honor Level 2 would leave the Tribunal effectively defunct for months at a time each year.
On top of that, Honor isn't an accurate representation of a player's sportsmanship or reliability. It's just a gauge of "how long can you go without suffering a punishment", in the simplest sense.
Wouldn't be THAT hard to see behavior patterns of someone being petty to the point of subverting the game.
You would be surprised.
I'd definitely hand out a "ranked ban" for someone acting like that...
And what about trolls and intentional feeders who don't play Ranked? A Ranked Ban isn't going to bother someone who trolls in Normals, ARAM, or RGMQ. If a punishment can only affect a specific subset of the playerbase, then, IMO, it's not really a punishment to consider employing.
