Toxicity punishments need to be more serious

Nibbly Jimbles·9/14/2017, 6:46:29 AM·1 votes·304 views

I propose:

Minor offenses (Fuck you, retard, downs, etc.): 30-day account suspension > one year account suspension > 10-year account suspension > indefinite account suspension

Major offenses (Death threats, racism, etc.): 10-year account suspension > indefinite account suspension

These are too harsh as to discourage reform.

I hate toxicity as much as the next guy, but this is just too harsh. If toxicity is such a huge problem for you, you're better off muting everyone when the game starts.

If you refuse to reform, just get off League. There's no need to give such pitiful ban durations like 1 or 10 years.

Just out of curiosity, how is retard and downs minor offenses to racism as major offense? What's the logic?

League of Legends has not been around for 10 years. You are advocating that a day 1 account that was unaware of the zero tolerance policy towards those things should still be banned today.


Further, what you encourage with longer bans is people just making a new account to avoid the ban. Riot could track that, yes, but it would take a lot of manpower - computers can generally determine if two people aren't the same, but it's really hard to determine if two accounts are the same.

Someone gets banned for a week? They may not even notice it. A month? They'll just start playing on their smurf. 2 weeks? They'll probably notice and not be arsed to level a new account just for 2 weeks.
