Player Behavior Tutorial

I came up with this idea a while ago when I came across a post from a rioter, stating that one report was just as effective as nine. I had no idea that this was the case, and I have been playing from 2011. I think that if everyone knew that, nobody would ever ask others to "Report Yasuo for AFK".

My idea is an in-client tutorial much like the combat training showing you around the punishment system. Outlining what kind of behavior is acceptable, and what isn't. It would also show what steps are taken if your account is punished, and what you can do if you are wrongly punished. Target it to new players, and I think we'd start seeing an improvement in the community, as well as with false reports.

You may say this already exists in the summoner's code, and other tools on the website. But I know that when I created my account, I didn't log into the website for two or three years after making the account. Also, as the summoner's code is very broad, it can sometimes be misconstrued, and I've seen some Rioters claim something is covered in the summoners code and cite a portion that vaguely resembles what they are talking about. Making this an in-game tutorial would spread awareness and provide a specific baseline for behavior for players to refer to.

Edit: fixed a typo where I had the word 'ban' instead of 'report' Thanks @The_Highest_Noon for pointing that out.

Edit: By in-game I of course mean in-client, not in the actual game while controlling a champion. That would be silly.

Edit: Keep this post alive, I see a lot of votes on the poll who agree with my opinion but not a lot of upvotes on the post itself. If you vote "Yes! A lot!" please take the time to hit the up-arrow next to the title of the post.

A tutorial showing how to mute people would be really helpful!

That way a lot of people would not suffer the unfathomable pain of getting flamed by a total stranger on the internet. We see too many post complaining about flamers, when we have all the solution, pressing the mute button! I think looking at the PB Boards, this is the most important function of the game!

I just want Riot to say that hate speech and encouraging suicide is Zero Tolerance. And Zero tolerance words/phrases is a 14 day ban.

exactly what we need to improve this game! extra training on how to be censored machines and not be yourself!

LOL you said "One ban means as many as 9" instead of "one report"

Fuck yeah. Either make it mandatory, or if that's not palatable, make it a quest where you get a nice chunk of blue or orange essence for completing it.

I agree that education on the behavioral system is important, but I don't think an ingame tutorial would work.

Most the the behavioral education does not require one to be controlling a champion to understand. An ingame tutorial wouldn't teach anything specific about ingame behavior, and it would be super boring to play that tutorial.

An in-client education system would be better, as it can show things like formulas, reporting screen, reform card and anything else related to behavior.

A player behavior tutorial isn't necessary in my opinion. As someone stated above however, tutorials on how to mute someone should be shown

Whenever people bring up that fact I'm a woman in game I 100% of the time see that my report resulted in a ban. People should become better and stop being toxically masculine if they want the game to improve.
