Riot, why did you hire an intern to write the bots that "review" reports?
Pretty sure Tantram (and whomever else may have had a hand in creating the IFS) is more than just an intern. Call it a hunch, but when the guy has a full blown title and actively works on the IFS, he's probably beyond the point of being trained.
Why can't you see that literally every game that employs this tactic fails dramatically?
Got a list?
From what I gather, insulting yourself is bannable, swearing at no one in particular is bannable, play the game and saying report the obviously-feeding teammate is bannable, playing the darn GAME is bannable.
The first is unnecessary, and yes, it can be punishable (since even self-directed negativity can lower team morale), the second is false, the third is unnecessary and also punishable (since consistently rallying for reports can be considered harassment), and the last is a poor use of hyperbole.
I miss when ACTUAL PEOPLE reviewed report incidents and judged them fairly, unlike the bots you now employ so that you can save money by not paying more of your employees (KDA Akali, cough cough).
Whenever people chalk up the introduction of the IFS (which has been around for a while now, by the way) to greed and cutting costs, I have a hard time taking it seriously.
D'you know why the Tribunal got iceboxed and replaced with the IFS? Because it was slow, unreliable, and couldn't be incentivized without risking people just spamming "punish" for easy rewards.
It was unpopular enough that some people were getting punishments months after they committed the offense, and not only that, it built up a massive backlog to boot.
And how, pray tell, do you think the IFS' judgements are unfair? Can you provide at least five examples of unfair punishments, or are you just assuming it's unfair because of a few posts making baseless claims and not providing their chat logs?
Your game is toxic because every move you make enables and encourages toxicity.
And your proof of this is...?
I just love the theory that, if someone is picking on you/tormenting you/making your life hell, that's fine. You're ALLOWED to defend yourself... by asking them nicely to stop. Heaven forbid you defend yourself or quote what they said.
You don't even need to ask them nicely to stop. Hell, you don't even need to ask them at all.
Y'know what you do?
Mute, report, move on.
Not a word to them, and you can shut them out easily. And reporting them makes sure that they get punished for picking on you.
As for defending yourself - provide an example where someone actually defended themselves, and didn't retaliate. 'Cause that's a distinction to note; Self-defense and retaliation are two different things.
And as for quoting what they said; if you are being bullied by someone, if someone is being rude to you, and you know that they're breaking the rules, what good does it do you to quote the lines that are in breach of the rules?
