Riot Needs To Step Up Punishments- And Fast.

I know, I know what your thinking when you read this "Hypocrite", and thats fine. But all I deal with in matches is enemies who get fed bad mouthing inside the game. Taunting is one thing- but calling your team trash, garbage, and telling them to kill themselves is another thing. Its another thing to joke about it- but its not funny every 2 seconds. League punishments for this are a joke anymore- you go in a game and the players reeeeaaalllyy dont care because they know no punishments will occur. More times then not I hear this when someone talks about reporting- "And? League does shit about it, so go f*** off." And it has shown! No one in league belies they will be punished if they do things like this- because riot wont punish them. All im asking is forriot to step up their punishments. One reason I heard of why they wont is due to money loss. If so, please excuse me for this comment- but thats a load of bull crap, because if the games community gets any worse- your going to lose alot more money then stepping up now. Please comment on how you feel!!!

Yea man perma banning people for saying 1 word in 1 game isn't enough. They really need to step up their punishments.

Just a simple look through this section of the forums will show that people are indeed ban for misbehaving, with some of their chat logs including stuff like "I don't care if I get reported, I won't get banned, lololol". The people saying that reports do nothing are usually just banned troll ragers themselves who are just mad that they're actually being held accountable for their behavior-ignore them.

Im not saying that no bans occur- im saying they occur too infrequently for the punishments to show. In the past Riot used to do multiple day bans as well for this kind of behavior- even if it only showed once. Thats the kind of changes I mean to come back for punishments. Now its "if this occurs very frequently-ban. But once here and there is fine". Thats not how it shouls be- this kind of behabior shouldnt be tolerated at all.

Yes Riot did multi-day bans but the flaw with that system is that it took forever (or at least far too long anyways) for the truly toxic individuals to get permabanned from the game. There's a new tiered punishment system in place now:

1st offense: 10-game chat restriction. 2nd offense: 25-game chat restriction. 3rd offense: 2-week ban. 4th offense: Permanent ban.

If someones behavior is especially egregious then they can actually skip the chat restrictions and just go straight to the 2-week or permanent ban mark instead. Also, from what I remember it's always required a person to show consistent negative behavior across multiple games in order to be punished. It would be unfair to punish someone simply for having a bad day/game.

While I will agree that more frequent punishments would be nice, from what I understand the reason as to why Riot does them in waves is to prevent people from figuring out exactly how they dish out punishments. Someone with more knowledge in this area can answer that better than I can though, so there's that at least.

This scale is a lie. They go straight to 14 day bans or perma bans.

They only go straight to 14-day or permanent bans if the person in question has shown truly egregious behavior (i.e. death threats, racist comments, constantly leaving/afking in games (LeaverBuster handles these primarily), trolling via gameplay, etc.). Otherwise they just get the chat restrictions first. Here's the official Riot thread talking about these punishment systems: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Boqd81O0-upcoming-upgrades-to-chat-restrictions

If you have any actual credible proof that says otherwise then post a link to it here.
