I don't care if the Tribunal was backlogged on cases - at least it still worked
The threat of the Tribunal was obviously enough to keep more people in line.
Several years ago I NEVER had this much trouble playing a real game during certain times of days and hours. The game has basically become off limits on friday night or the weekends unless I want to waste half my games being trolled and griefed by kids who fear no punishment.
The game has devolved into a haven for trolls who know how to abuse people while gaming an automated system that only checks for keywords. When I have to avoid playing the game during the times I actually have free, because riot only punishes the people who get mad and lash out at the trolls, maybe it's time to stop playing.
People have even posted about blatant troll teams who do nothing but enter the game with the purpose of being as abusive as possible, doing things like eating them with kench repeatedly, and those purpose built troll teams never face punishment because they remain silent in chat. Only when someone made a youtube video of one that got someone's attention was any action taken.
