Is the Champion above Riot Itself

I have had some recent plays in rift where I am well on my way to climbing out of most summoned called "Elo Hell" and trying to climb to gold. I have some rough games here and there, but games that seem not to be okay, are games that have intentional feeders. Some might say a bad game, others might disagree, recently when I hear people first yell out "just report them if they happen to be actually feeding and not a bad game". Well in some rare cases they are feeding on purpsoe, but most of the time they aren't. In the cases they do I get that one reply back....

"Go ahead and report me, riot doesn't do anything anyways to players like me...".

That sets the bar for a whole new type of person for everyone playing rift. What is riot going to do then? What punishment is that player going to receive? Will riot actually "do their job"?

Players like me want a fair fun game of ranked without the mix of people who are making it hard for us. The players like me wish to know what will riot do about this. I've first hand taken pictures of the chat logs of these people/summoners who say these things.

If anyone from riot wishes to see these pictures of the chat that have taken place they may. The point remains, what will riot do to stop this epidemic of bad behavior, is riot going to roll over and let players to continue to give other riot fans a hard time, or is riot going to finally put their foot down and take action.

The first penalty for gameplay offense is a 14 day ban. Riot does need to develope a better way to determine if a player is commiting a gameplay offense though. To be fair though, many games could stand to develope a better way.

Maybe you are just being to vague about what you mean and I misunderstood though.

There are 2 types of players that will say things like "go ahead, your report won't do anything to me"

  1. Ones that know the system in and out
  2. Those that think they know how they system works but misunderstand how the system works.

The ones that actually are inting (note, not feeding) will eventually get their accounts punished. Granted Riot needs better ways to determine whether a person is intentionally causing disruptive gameplay, but they don't get away with it forever.

For those that know how the system works, they typically don't intentionally cause disruptive gameplay, unless they don't want their account anymore. I'd typically look at the accuser in those circumstances for harassment instead.
