Riot's Honor system is worthless, broken and unfair, just like their ban bots

MisterWolfe··3 votes·966 views

let me start with... FUCK YOU RIOT... now that that's over with. The banning system doesn't catch feeders, true griefers and the people that make playing this game a nightmare. Instead, like all penalty systems, it goes after the people that get tilted and enraged by the people that Riot's worthless system of banbots lets through.

Even worse, if someone DOES have a bad couple of games due to griefers, they then get an insulting and demeaning notice thrown in their face the entire time they're "being penalized". This doesn't make anyone want to improve, this kindergardenesque shit just makes them madder. At least stop looking at reports from a one-sided system that only goes after the person that gets reported instead of looking at the entire chat and see that it was the trio that reported the player causing all the grief and hate being spewed.

Fix your shit Riot.

What demeaning notice? Is it the "you're chat restricted for X more games?"

At least stop looking at reports from a one-sided system that only goes after the person that gets reported

Looking at others' chat doesn't answer whether or not your chat was toxic. It only tells us why you said what you said.

and see that it was the trio that reported

It only takes 1 report to trigger a review. Multiple reports do not increase the likelihood of being punished. There is no way to know how many people reported you.

I remember the chat that was "flagged" the trio in flex that were flaming me all game and threatening to get me banned were the ones that reported me. Don't need to be a fucking detective to figure that out.

If it were 3 people that caused you to be punished and not your chat logs themselves, then posting your chat logs should prove your point.

Again, there is no way for you, or anyone, to know who or how many reports there were in one game.

Rito only gives you your part of the chat, not anyone else's, so everything you say in it is out of context.

Why would anyone else's chat affect whether you're banned? You're not held accountable for their actions, only yours.

Because the full chat would show the threats, slurs and overall hateful attitude of the trolls trying to tilt their own team and get people banned. When three people get together and purposely play bad and troll their own team "just becuz it's flex" and engage in actions and chat designed to get other people tilted but because they're the ones reporting YOU, you get penalized.

Full chat would shot that and the pack mentality of these high-elo players trolling in flex silver just to get their jollies by ruining the experience for other people.

You can mute them if they're flaming you.

You do not have to respond with more toxicity.

and then they STILL report you and riot hits you with a penalty for "not communicating with your team"

The system is still broke and is exploited by people who abuse it on purpose for their own entertainment.

give ONE example of someone who got punished for "not communicating with your team". It is not even a report option....

To be fair, it is punishable.

But only if someone literally refuses to ping even obvious things and refuses to communicate in chat.

ONE example of it actually happened, not speculation.

The Summoner Code is a pretty thick document. A LOT of things are "punishable". I have a hard time believing this is actually enforced in any seriousness.

Support Nunu/singed.

They were banned for 14 days for ruining others games by not communicating.

I'm pretty sure Nunu/Singed was a case of not communicating AND attempting to perform a very rare strategy that their teammates were unfamiliar with, and that created a negative experience for the unprepared bot laner.

At best, it's an outlier case, an exception rather than the rule.

Touche.

He asked for one case though. That is a case of it happening.
