Player Behavior Problems.

breakordoom444·Mar 12, 2018·2 votes·475 views

I'm not the First one to call out this problem, but a lot of the posts/discussions are just people complaining about how they should be unbanned when they clearly did something wrong.

now sometimes this does help and a false ban is lifted, but this happens 0.0000001% of times.

now no one can stop people from complaining about Bans, people get pissed its natural.

I just wish players would consider contacting Riot employees or just suck up the ban (granted, Riot employees do have more bans to give out and can't listen to you complain, but complaining about something on boards or reddit only gets you more hate, I rarely see people support unbans from people that are toxic, flamers, etc.

that concludes my opinion.

I agree that players who feel their punishment was unwarranted should probably consider going through Riot Support first about their case, but I'd also personally argue that getting community input could help as well, whether it's to clear up confusion about why the punishment was placed, whether or not it was warranted, and what might be expected from the Support ticket.

Though, I guess this is more addressing the players who complain, refuse to learn, and expect the game to bend to their willing so that they can go about being toxic without consequence, in which case...Yeah, absolutely. It'd be better entirely for those folk to, at the very least, stick to Support tickets.

Sadly for us, though, for one reason or another, they tend to come to the boards first before anything.

I agree with Community input and so, but most people on boards down vote and leave a rude comment before even reading these posts.

Im not saying the solution is to make people NOT post these things, just for banned players to look back and check ritos summoners code.

I'd say then that the real issue is more the people who leave spiteful and non-constructive comments than it is the posters. I figure that downvotes in general aren't a huge issue, since most PB regulars as far as I know tend to have their Boards filter set to "New" - and I think Tantram himself might, too.

I'm not sure how much looking back at the Summoner's Code (for the players in question) would help, honestly. I feel like most of the players who come here to PB aren't really looking for the "why" as much as they're looking for the "what", and very few of them (that I've seen) have made the conscious effort to understand the punishment beyond seeing what parts of the chat merited it.

Though, I could just be being cynical here, so, do take what I say with a grain of salt.

Yes, like alot of terms and conditions etc, they are long and soul consuming to read and if you are banned, the first thing you look for is WHY and i feel looking at terms and conditions/summoners code would make players less likely to post on boards and more likely to Just take the punishment and play other free/paid games and be less toxic in those or reach out to rito dorito.

Downvotes affect peoples opinions, when people see a heavily downvoted post, people leave "hate" comments, it even happens to me sometimes.

What if they want to gain support to try to change something they see as unjust? There are a bunch of companies with different rules not nearly as strict as Riot's. I could see why they would come here to express their opinion in hopes of being part of the thousands of people who complain and see the game they love change to be more accommodating.

My suggestion is for people to clarify what they are saying, instead of just talking about it.

Definitely not worse than EA. Don't equate inequitable things. You devalue the measures of them when you do so.

Yeah, its pointless. Usually they get CR or banned for abusing chat, and then they abuse the boards the same way. A lot of times they want to make some kind of ridiculous morality play out of the comments they get.

We need a streamlined version of the tribunal brought back. Not for all cases, and not even for all types of cases. But with the proper in-client tools Riot could probably get a lot more participation, as well as throughput of cases.
