The state of the reporting system - Ban the trolls first not the flamers. LP distribution
So riot's current stand point on this is that they don't want to ban champion troll picks because they want people to be able to 'try and test out new champion combinations in different roles' knowing full well that there are massive limits to the range of champions that can be played in these roles especially in ranked and especially when it comes to bot lane. Why do I continually have to hold my tongue as an adc main when someone trolls my lane and i subsequently end up feeding and hear the crescendo of 'report bot, report bot' and try to tilt me of the face of the planet until i flame and riot come out to punish me for caring about winning. On countless other games, they have instead focused on punishing bad and troll gameplay primarily and found that flame and negative chat reduces drastically. Why don't riot follow suit, instead of allowing people who don't care about the game or the community ruin for those that do??? LP DISTRIBUTION DEPENDING ON YOUR GAME RATING Another idea is that depending on your game rating you should be allocated a respective amount of lp, yes i know not everyones gonna have a positive score becuase sometimes people have to just die for the sake of the win, but ultimately you should still get less lp. If i get carried in a game I have no problem getting less lp than the person carrying me and my team so long as i still get a boost. And the same should be true on the losing side. If there are troll pick, ints etc etc they should get their lp shattered, where as people who are actually making an attempt to salvage it should take less of a hit. There thats my piece, I await the thought police imminently telling me im just bitter and if i was better at the game it wouldn't matter what they pick.
