I am toxic. A lot of people are toxic. But, riot... we are still customers.

I think riot should group use toxic folk into a pool so that we get matched with each other. THEN let us curse and flame to our hearts content instead of applying this filthy sensitive social standard on us! For those of us that are in this pool of toxic people we should no longer have our speech restricted. Every game I force myself to be a good boy it feels unnatural. It's like I'm slowly being lobotomized. Give me and my toxic brothers (and sisters) our freedom while simultaneously removing our interaction with the fairies that can't handle us. You make everyone happy this way. I'm sure most of the player base doesn't want to deal with people like me and I don't want to deal with them, but I do want to keep playing the game and buying skins. You can check my purchase history, I spend a good amount on this game. Recently I have forced myself to resist urges to buy any rp because I feel like my toxic nature might get me banned and it'll be a waste of money. Let us toxic customers play our own way and we will continue to throw money at you. Obviously, you can still watch out for things like racism, threats and extreme cases like that. But for the most part let us be free.

Riot has actually stated before that they do not want the money of toxic players -- they want them to either adjust their behavior or stop playing the game. They have also stated several times why they're opposed to the Prisoner's Island approach. Here are some of the reasons:

  • It leads to bad matchmaking, since toxic players can only play against other toxic players, and the community of toxic players is fairly small and spread across a wide MMR range.
  • It makes recovering harder for only rarely toxic players, as they're exposed to more toxicity more frequently.
  • Different people have different level of toxicity. If someone calls their teammates idiots a bit too often, that doesn't mean they're okay with people screaming hate speech.

Riot is not going to expend resources on the very small number of customers who can't control themselves. Bars don't have "fighting sections," you get your asses bounced if you can't behave, no matter how many rounds you were planning on ordering.

Are you familiar with the term Return on Investment (ROI)? Things can have a negative ROI, and not always in pure dollars and cents. There is most definitely negative ROI with making special cases in order to cater to people who go against Riot's core tenets - have fun and behave.

It's obvious that the OP is making many invalid points and arguing with others just to argue. This is clearly not leading anywhere.

In life you have to learn to follow the rules.
