Soft inting is a massive problem, what's being done to fix it?

Everyone has had games where a teamate does absolutely nothing, just walks around to avoid the AFK penalty, maybe farms a sidelane and "gets caught out". They don't usually type at all either. Riot's ban system is so flawed at catching these people who run rampant. I recently lost my gold 5 promos because of 2 soft inters in a row. No matter how much 4 people want to win 1 person can ruin that and not get punished because they didn't type the no-no words. I'm not trying to say I have a solution to this issue, it seems hard to detect. But it really needs to be dealt with.

Nothing without hitting innocent players.

They ban anybody who dares to tell the troll to stop :) So basically they are punishing everyone who does not accept this kind of behavior, instead of punishing the actual trolls :\

(There are a few examples where HARD inters get banned, nothing else)

In your scenario that you mentioned, leaver buster still hits them.

They also can get manually reviewed and if found guilty, will be a 14-day ban.

Of course, neither of those punishments will prompt a punishment notification, so you will never know that someone got punished.
