Toxicity

Hi Lyte,

I'm writing this here since I haven't been able to reach you on ask.fm and this is really important since, you know, end of season just rolled around.

I'll avoid mentioning or posting names but I'll put up a few [censored] screenshots to illustrate my point.

A few weeks back, I encountered an incredibly toxic Thresh player who repeatedly flamed certain people on our team, well into post-game lobby.

I reported him, figured the Instant Feedback algorithm would take care of him, and moved on.

Fast Forwards a few days, and I'm duo-queuing with a friend.

I run into this person again, this time on the opposite team, and to my horror, they were still able to post in all-chat.

The image I post is what happened in post game lobby.

Reported him AGAIN, hoping that other people wouldn't get subjected to his toxicity, and moved on.

A few days later, I notice he's still playing games, and probably still being toxic.

I send a ticket to Riot Support with screenshots attached, they said they'd look into it.

He/She is still playing as of yesterday.

I'm completely lost, because I thought the instant feedback system was supposed to be able to detect blatant hate speech like this.

People on restricted chat can still use the chat system, so it's very possible that he has been punished, you just don't know it.

Ritos like 'bitch better have my money' go buy some RP then they'll listen.

Actually, this is pretty much me after I saw him the third time (second time, he was toxic in lobby and someone dodged):

WTF man ?? What are you even talking about ? Your going to: 'make this guy wish he never played..' Sounds like a threat to me and as much as I oppose toxic behavior in this game I think I either am misunderstanding you or you are very wrong here.

So I just checked in with our little friend today.

He got ranked rewards. Border, probably the skin, everything.

Why. Do people just think they can get away with this behavior and not be punished at all?

The Instant Feedback system won't help me. Riot Support won't help me.

Needless to say, I'm beyond distressed. This guy, WHO SENDS ME A DEATH THREAT AND CALLS ME A %%%GOT, not only doesn't get punished for it, he actually gets rewarded for ranked?

I'm holding you accountable for this, Riot, because I literally took every avenue available to bring attention to his behavior, and I've gotten nothing but canned replies from your support staff saying "they'd look into his behavior."

He does sound very very toxic, and I am sorry you had to play multiple games with him. The care of censoring the chat was good, but you kinda messed it up by forgetting to censor the post game lobby picture :P you might wana fix that.

I'm going to continue to bump this until I get a rioter answer. I don't understand why THIS GUY gets permanently banned and yet BLATANT HATE SPEECH like this gets through.

BTW, the dude is still playing games as of today, so obviously, he's not getting punished for his behavior. At all.
