Yet another call for a permanent IP ban on defeatism.

People continue to jump into the game just to give up before anything happens, refusing to do absolutely anything and complaining endlessly about how shit the game is. I took a two month hiatus from League because of, among other things, just how bad it got. I would spend upwards of half an hour just trying to get into a game because of people who would enter a queue, either hijack roles from other people or just give up and waste everybody's time.

If you are that drowned by your own defeatism, don't enter the game, don't login, don't even think about starting up the fucking computer. Just sit in a dark corner far away from anything that might interfere with the game, because at the moment, you are causing more damage to League than any imbalance you want to forcefully delude yourselves into believing.

Riot tried an IP ban once many years ago and it backfired horribly. Basically it prevented an entire college campus from being able to play LoL. Because there's too much collateral damage and the fact that IP bans can be easily circumvented with enough know-how there's no point doing them.

i think a better way to handle toxic smurfs would be something like this, after recieving a 14 day or permaban, the game would then forcefully uninstall itself, requiring a re download of the entire client before getting on a smurf

How would that solve anything though? You have to log into the client to get your reform card anyways so auto removing the game from the computer just seems really counterintuitive to me honestly.

start sending the logs via email instead, and it's not meant to "solve" but rather "slow it down"

They do, but there's still the problem in that some email providers reject long emails, whereas the game client version of the reform card doesn't have that restriction. Not only that but we have people every now and then say stuff like "oh I didn't get it" or "I forgot which email it was": those excuses can't be used with the clients RC version. I still say that force-uninstalling the program is a bad idea. I understand your intentions with the idea but in the grand scheme of things it would just cause more harm than good honestly.

yeah and you cant say anything because ppl just report if u say anything, about not giving up, not feeding, item builds, you cant say anything in this snowflake community. Riot feeds into just dealing with the bs and moving on to the next game. you just have to stay quiet, even constructive criticism leads to players emotions being hurt. this community is a joke at all levels. especially at the highest level of riot management, they just feed the trolls and the bad kids by not doing anything about the intentionally feeding, defeatism at 5 min, 6 min w.e minutes people are just bad at this game and at accepting truths. bump the ip ban
