You’re regularly here, smiting evil and rebuking trolls, and though the battle never ends, it is well that you fight it. Thank you, Riot Tantram!

Post your Tantram appreciation here.

(I didn’t know where else to put this thread, so I put it here, where he might see it.)

I know you get a lot of crap, from both the 'Too Strict' and the 'Too Lenient'. Which probably just means you're walking the balance point. I'm just glad you're willing to stick it out and contiue posting.

I love it that he posted the code that checks if it should check a game for problems or not.

4+ reports is the same as 1.

A report, or 9 reports, flag a game for review.

if (reports > 0) { reviewGame(); }

tantram has seemingly cut way back on his posts since he was proven to be......stretching the truth on what happened in a punished game. it kind of makes me sad not to see him smiting much anymore but maybe it is for the best

there is the link to one of the posts with the video evidence. riot tantram said he personally reviewed the game and that the darius was in fact intentionally feeding and that he "ran past tryndamere into minions many times".

since the video evidence was posted you dont hear much from riot tantram anymore. the video pretty much speaks for itself as darius does not have a single death that looks like inting to me

edit: the links to riot tantrams comments are in the OP message as well

Wow. Yikes. I watched the video myself and saw someone playing Darius poorly and making bad macro decisions.

  1. Not pushing the wave at Level 2 to establish lane control and powerspike.
  2. Extended basic attack trades vs a Tryndamere with high Fury.
  3. Not using abilities until he’s forced to use them defensively.
  4. Staying in lane while being zoned despite having Teleport.
  5. Pathing down river rather than to turret when’s Tryndamere surprised him from brush.

At higher elo, maybe high Gold and above, I would accuse the player of pretending to play badly in order to intentionally feed, but I too make occasionally make such bad plays as a Silver myself. Looks like a legit game to me.

The real question, however, is whether Tantram had other games he could refer to. They could establish a pattern of such gameplay that would suggest trolling regardless.

he did not mention any other games. he specifically said darius was feeding this game.

so yeah hard to explain and tantram never gave any further explanation. so i have to believe he was misleading us in order to make the punishment look legit. he didnt know we would get to watch the replay ourselves.

I wish I could break laws on the regular and people praise me. Tantrum has made the worst example of a Frankenstein monster of a feedback system.

He had to update and patch so much bullshit in the system I'm surprised he doesn't called it the IFS 4.9.

There is also the lack of foresight in many of the original implication of the IFS which allowed people to subvert punishments and also bait other players into TIER 3 PUNISHMENTs, which Tantrum and many other rioters** IGNORED **for almost a YEAR, stating most of the time is was the player who was at fault even though they're coerced into saying Non-Tolerance words 3 times. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Only thing praise worthy is his ability to keep his job, and convince a plethora of people that he is a "good guy". I would see riot chance it with another person for that Dept, maybe one with clean history and a background in human behavior.

I want to appreciate Riot Tantram more but he doesn't accept my friend request in game so I can't tell him I think he/she/they are a cool individual and then carry him/her/them to Diamond :<
