RIOT should create a server for toxic/trash talking players only

Imagine a server where toxic players face off against another toxic players. Having these players tasting their own medicine. Douchebag players like these has no room in public and toxic-free servers.

There are really only two ways that such a thing could be implemented, and both have problems.

The first is to make it an involuntary queue; I.E, Prisoner's Island, a subject which as been done to death by this point.

Having a Prisoner's Island-style queue isn't conducive to reform, because, surprise surprise, if you lump toxic players in with other toxic players, it's just going to deepen their belief that toxicity is acceptable - because they're now dealing with it pretty much all the time whenever they play.

The other way is to make it a voluntary queue, one which players could opt into or out of at their leisure.

To me, this option's biggest problem is the idea that toxic players will want to queue up with toxic players, or that they'll prefer toxic players over non-toxic ones - pretty much, it comes with the expectation that the target audience will naturally shift over to the "toxic queue" and the problem of toxic players in the "normal queue" will resolve itself.

I don't see that working. Like. Ever. Most toxic players don't even recognize that they're toxic, and they'd probably quickly find that a queue chock full of toxic players (assuming even a decent handful actually went over to the toxic queue) would actually be comically worse than any match they'd have in the normal queue.

And, at the end of the day, both of these avenues suffer from one major problem; Riot does not want toxic players playing their game. They're not going to spend time and effort and resources to try and find a way to keep toxic players playing, because they don't want them playing. They want toxic players gone.
