Trolls , are they punished?

So Riot's system of banning works extremely well on negative players when it comes to chat, but I'm confused as to how trolls get banned. When I say trolls I mean players that go afk because you took a cannon minion or buy all boots because they are losing lane, just toxic players that purposely throw games. How does the Riot system ban these people without a tribunal or game reviews or something of the sort? Trundle

Trolls, no. People who flame trolls, yes.

They do. You get a prompt in the client that says someone you reported got punished, but it doesn't specify who or when. I was typing something in chat when I got one, and my brain only registered "punished" and "behavior" in the few frames the prompt was up. At first I thought I was being punished for something, but then I got another one shortly after that, and I was able to read it.

based on what people say on the forums and my own personal experience. trolls arent usually punished unless it's blatantly obvious theyre trolling."item 3031 running down lane feeding with malp" simply because riot's shitty AI cant tell the difference between a troll and a bad player. especially if a troll is really good at hiding the fact theyre trolling. or use 5 man premades to "play off" report warnings

"Trolls" is a catch all phrase... But to answer your question: yes, in some cases they are punished.

AFKers are easily punished. BLATANT intentioanl feeders are punished. ALl boots guy can be punished but a terrible, less obvious build probably would not be punished.

But most of these require REPORTING. JUST DO IT.

I just got banned for asking a troll Who admitted in chat that he was trolling to stop trolling.

He went in all chat and told the entire game that I "Told him to kill himself" (Which I didn't)

But I got banned.

Gotta love it.

Trolls don't get banned. They live under bridges while thinking of new ways to be hateful racists so they can get a reaction out of you. Don't feed the trolls. Just mute them (report them after the game too if you think that will work) or play a different game. I've reported lots of players who have had race wars during matches and they keep on playing. I've never received a message that someone I reported got banned. So best advice is to mute and enjoy yourself playing the game. Who cares what hateful trolls think; they're not human and have no human emotions. Do feed the trolls. Mute them.
