Reform system good or bad?

The question being asked here is there truly enough time for a toxic player to even have an attempt at reform? The system should be drawn out a bit more. A 2 week ban is hard to take seriously. That is way to short of a time for a player to really take a step back and acknowledge what he/she is doing wrong and make an attempt to correct this behavior. People don't change in two weeks it is impossible. Change takes time, and when i say time i mean at the very least a month or two. So I'm suggesting maybe riot should implement a longer ban sentence instead of a perma ban after the 2 week ban. There will be no reformed players with this current system. What there will be are no decent new players due to the large amounts of angry older players working on leveling a new account to thirty. This wrecks the game for all the new players thus why it should truly be considered to stop throwing out all the toxic players instead of a decent attempt at reform. My idea is to suggest to riot to possibly do a 2 month ban. Player returns hopefully reformed, or has started to reform. (they are not nearly as bad as prior to suspension). If player is still toxic and awful to play with hit them with the final chance/ final warning notice. Which should be a 6 month ban from the game on said account or even the game in general. If that player fails after the 6 month suspension then even I would have to agree with a permanent ban. Yes us the players have put quite a bit of time into this game but riot truly gave you just about a year to reform. I honestly feel if there was a system in place like this alot of players would reform and stop being so damn nasty. I know that I would have.

I might agree, if it was only a two week ban. But you get at least 2 strikes before the 14 day ban.

So I don't.

-- Reports do not lead directly to punishment. They lead to a review of the match for the player being reported. 9 reports are no different than 1 report, it just flags the match for review.

Once your account has a certain number of flagged matches associated with it, the system randomly selects some of those matches for review. Once reviewed, if you did nothing wrong in any of those matches, the reports are thrown out and those players future reports become less valuable.

The severity of the punishment is not based on severity of offense. It is a 4 strike system, where severity of the punishment is based on how many strikes you have accrued:

1st strike - 10 game chat ban 2nd strike - 25 game chat ban 3rd strike - 14 day full ban 4th strike - perma

There is an exception for hate speech, racial slurs, or extreme cases of toxicity, that will result in skipping and going straight to 3rd or 4th strike.

EDIT: Oh, and I voted no on the poll because I think its working fine, but technically an improved reform system is a different reform system. And Im not opposed to improvements in the system, so long as they are well thought out.
