We know that most negativity in game comes from a misstep

Why is it then, no one gets perma-banned for making a "misstep"? Get rid of the "misstep" and most of the negativity is gone.

Under this current system, we are allowed to cause negativity. While perma-banned for being negative. You are allowed to give someone cancer. If you have cancer, you will be executed.

we owe these players frank feedback about unsportsmanlike conduct, **and a chance at **gaining some self-awareness and growing as players and part of the community

If you cure your cancer "quickly", we won't execute you. You are still allowed to give other people cancer. If you get cancer again, you will be executed immeadiately.

we shoot penalized players a reform card explaining why other players think they should be penalized, but not an idea of how to change and grow. That gap is important for us to fill.

Stop allowing people to give me cancer, and I might grow. Keep allowing people to give me cancer, and I won't grow.

There is another option. Let me live with my cancer. Don't execute me. I might grow.

This isn't cancer.

This is people who behave poorly, in chat or through game behavior. Poor chat behavior is easier to spot and hold the person responsible because they're 100% in control of what they type.

Poor gameplay behavior (such as intentionally stealing CS, feeding, etc) is harder to automatically detect and judge because Riot will always try to avoid punishing someone for just playing poorly. The issue is trying to judge intention in such cases.

I am not sure how someone's opinion is "wrong". You may not agree with it, but it is still their opinion which cannot be proven or disproven.

Now, I read your entire post, and like someone before I cam curious about how you would rid this misstep. From what I an understanding you attribute the toxicity from someone because of a bad play, which does happen; people gripe and complain or even flame, but how would you get rid of the misplay? Everyone plays perfectly and it becomes a war of attrition?

I'm going to go ahead and agree with Aero in the regards you control your chat. You can even control the ability to sell the person who is causing the "cancer" chat to you by muting.

And finally, releasing my inner nerd. What does cancer matter when Deadpool exists? xD

I only complain about constant missteps.
