Congrats on having such a toxic player base

I have yet to have a game where at least one team that hasn't flamed each other. I've fallen from Plat 4 100 LP to Plat 5 0 LP. Congrats!

And you know what makes this even better? Dynamic Queue!

Because I'm always solo, I'll always be picked out because I can't carry 4 people who would rather complain about how bad I am (even though I'm actually not doing bad at all) instead of doing their own thing.

Even when we're in the lead, someone will say one dumb thing and then everyone just wants to play "slit each other's throats because I'm a depressed little boy" instead of playing the damn game.

Holding back all my words writing this. This game actually has made me a shittier person. My outlook on meeting other people is so dreadfully low.

And before the first comment is "You should take a break and get out more", believe me, I've gone out and drank enough times after being so bummed out having to play this game.

"Just mute everyone", yeah that doesn't mean anything. I can still tell people are fighting because I'm getting spam pinged instead of having to read the smut in chat. The game still is going to fall apart, the only difference is I have no chance to repair engagements because now I have no idea what they're saying.

So many times I've reported people who say things like "you're so fucking trash kill yourself", "boosted trash", etc, and I've yet to see one single punishment has been made text box.

If I could lose 200 games, and see "Congratulations that sorry little boy has been banned, he'll be out of your League for 20 days while he makes a new account" every time it was actually deserved, I wouldn't even care about losing. I'd be so happy that what I do actually matters.

TL;DR: Reporting doesn't do anything. You guys make me hate you all. Lose streak. Cry streak. Tears.

It does but the effect it brings out is too little due to riot's leniency, and the fact that there are just too many toxic players you don't have enough ban hammers to get rid of them all.

I'm a salty as hell person, enough that my tears might as well be the ocean Gangplank sails in... And I'm gonna tell people when they're doing bad, and if they get snippy at me when I'm trying to help, then I'll get pissed off... And, if I'm honest, I don't really enjoy playing the game anymore, I just tolerate it to kill time.

But if you ever need someone to vent to, I can at least nod and agree. I might be part of the problem sometimes, but when I'm NOT, I'm also a rational, reasonable person who agrees with everything you're laid out in this post. My point is, if you need someone to play the occasional game with or rant to without getting uber-downvoted like this post will be, send an invite my way.

Also, I've noticed a severe decline in community health ever since the player Tribunal was removed and replaced with this automated system. What the automated system says to me is: "We don't much care about democracy and fair trial, we just want to punish people who occasionally step out of line, while the truly toxic people who are reported less-often because people just want to get away from them get off scot-free, and those are usually the people who give us the most views and advertisement." So... Yea, bring back the player tribunal Riot. Please. If you truly want to make it harder to abuse, include restrictions like... Must be level 30, must not have any current punishments or chat restrictions or have had them in the last week, and must own all champions.

Okay, that last one was a joke, but for real. Any system is going to end up in the state this one is, except for one where majority rules, and cases are randomly distributed to people with no idea of who the players actually are, just their actions. Rito pls.

If you are stuck being the 5th wheel on a 4 man premade, odds are the other team has a premade 4 as well so they are in the same situation you are.

No matter how many posts you guys bury, the majority of people still know the issue exists. Even people from other games don't want to switch over because the rumors are that we're the most toxic player base.
