Toxic Players: Ban More People

It seems almost every game you get a toxic jerk on your team or the other trying to ruin the game.

Last game guy bans somebodies hover in champ select and laughs about it. Then starts looking up peoples profiles and trashing their win rates. Then AFK's (didn't dodge in time) with ghost/cleanse mid-lane nunu. Proceeds to flame other teammates. Doesn't help team. Makes fun of them when they die.

Riot needs to ban people like this. I know you're afraid of losing players but you'll lose MORE players due to toxic community by doing nothing.

Atleast find a way to make it less likely to run into a person you've reported in the past, SPECIALLY IF ITS LAST GAME. Being teamed with the same greifing afk support 2 games in a row after reporting the first time is pretty lit.

Riot needs to figure a way to ban that matters. I leveled a new account w/ a friend.. Every game, there were folks on "noob" accounts due to their main being chat banned or straight up banned for toxic behavior. Banning only moves the problem to lower lvl accounts ruining the game for new players. Riot needs to get on the ball w/ bans. It's too easy to avoid severe penalties. I mean, sure, the main account getting banned hurts bad. Guess what though, if that account gets banned, they probably won't spend money on the game again and just lvl accounts and keep up their toxic behavior, but get worse because they now have NOTHING to lose other than an account that cost nothing to make.

People that are toxic want to be punished. They want attention. Give it to them.

At this point there's so little good about the game left that trolling is how addicted people try to extract entertainment. They really just need to move onto games from the modern decade.

Banning more people is not going to fix this issue.

It's impossible to completely remove toxicity, because you can only punish after someone's said something toxic in chat. Same for trolling/griefing/int feeding. Minority Report is fiction.

Also, Riot almost entirely relies on algorithms for moderation of player behavior in game. If you make the algorithm for catching trolls and int feeders too strict, it'll catch a lot of false positives.

They won't ban these people unless they say trigger words

According some social study global ~35% population is considered as "jerk". These people understand only force so best solution is one big slap or punch.

I think blizzard has a decent setup where you can "avoid as teammate" with two players and in HoTS frequent afkers and ragers get placed in low priority queues, which places them with OTHER ragers and afkers. Gives them a taste of their medicine and encourages cleaning up their actions so they can join the rest of the community

I agree, had a game on my main before where I was the jungler and the mid laner got upset and salty for me not ganking for him or giving blue and he persisted to follow me around the jungle and steal my camps, I got heated and started to say crap to him and in the end I got banned for it. Yet I bet his stupid ass got nothing but a slap on the wrist.

Have you manually submited a report? It triggers a real person to look at it, and as such they wont be able to dodge the auto stuff that the post game reports do.
