The Tribunal System Is Litteral Bullshit
I can't be the only one who thinks this. The tribunal sucks. It does not come even close to punishing all of those who need to be punished.
I would also like to say, I can be toxic myself as well. I've been trying quite hard lately since I was recently chat restricted (which I will explain why later) and didn't want to receive more punishments. But if Riot would actually do something about these toxic players, I'll gladly take being permabanned for it.
(And before you comment "Just mute them" When you are in my position, you aren't thinking very clearly. You are constantly trying to defend yourself from the toxics and trying to focus on playing well. When these two combined, and espcially if nobody is there to remind you of the mute button, there's no stopping and it just snowballs from there.)
A little backstory. So I'm playing an ez game and me and the support trundle are dominating lane. Even with our gragas finding the worst times to gank or be bot, EX) When I'm at 15% health and Trundle is at 50%. EX) He ganked (Still low, me and trundle) and then the enemy Fiddle and Diana come to counter gank. Well its all fine and dandy, I'm Ezreal, I have a 10 second flash that gets reduced when hitting my q. But nope he ults the Diana and gives her a free ult towards me, and nobody from the enemy team dies despite the fact that Diana was pushed into our whole team and taking tower shots. Grag was talking shit before this but once he pulled this shit he was quiet for a while.
Until Sona came along. Sona was either quiet for the first part of the game or I just wasn't paying attention. But anyways. She goes top to farm, while I'm trying to ping infernal drake before the enemy team gets there. So we are all at dragon pit, except for Sona who is fiannly coming down. But by the time she's there, the enemy team already rekt us in a 4v5. A say "Sona wtf?" and she goes "You'd rather lose top tower?" I respond with "Ya I would like to lose top tower compared to getting aced, losing infernal drake, and losing bot inner tower" She thens stop talking. After I die the next time because of Diana diving me, even though I was behind our whole team, she goes "wow this Ez and his shitty positioning" and Grag hops on this bandwagon. I told her that Diana dived our whole team to get to me (Which btw Sona wasn't there again. She was late for almost every team fight) But she just says lmao and continues to flame me.
They had fiddle and Diana, the ultimate diving duo. But Sona and Grag really didn't care and just wanted to flame me for dying.
So this bullshit goes on throughout the whole game, and I ask the enemy team to please report these two. But they didn't even care. In fact the Fiddle started being toxic along with Sona and Grag in all chat. So it's not like the enemy team had no idea of this happening. The torture finally ends with me being dived in the middle of our team by Diana and they were able to break past the wall by that point. (Surprise Surprise I got flamed for that too) And now its the end screen, where I hopefully see the enemy team having sympathy for the shit that I had to go through. But nope, still more flame and toxicity.
Now this is where I get to the tribunal system. When you don't have multiple people reporting the same person. THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE. And people would rather just start a new game than to click a few buttons. Not even to write anything. So your report gets tossed into the wind to never be seen again and they go on ruining the game.
There was a point in time where I said "If anyone is toxic, I'm going to int feed" But that didn't matter. Even though people knew the consequences they still were toxic and I get chat restricted. It was my Batman sortof way of punishing these people. But nobody cares.
And this is especially relevant when you are qued with a premade of 4. It's not unlikely at all that they will start to gang up on you and there is nothing you can do. And when you get to the end screen, everybody has left and their toxic group continues to thrive.
The tribunal seriously needs to be reworked in a way that actually punishes players. Very rarely will I get the message "Someone you reported has been recently punished" so I can only assume no action was taken.
This is a little something that gives such a great example of what I am talking about. This is from the end game screen chat with just me and the enemy Caitlyn left.
Freegummies left the room. RandomGumpers DPLOV: cait please Cannabis Farmer left the room. station master left the room. Explosive mojo BEER^: pls what lol RandomGumpers DPLOV: report sona and gtrag RandomGumpers DPLOV: grag* Explosive mojo left the room.
If you couldn't figure it out, she left immediately after I asked for her to report them. Another Ironic thing is that she gifted her support a skin for being good or whatever. When people are willing to buy someone a skin but cant press 3 buttons to report someone? This is downright sad. More value needs to be added to single reports. Any other suggestions to the tribunal is very welcome.
