Does riot even care??

sirspoons11·Sep 7, 2017·2 votes·501 views

I'm just curious if riot even actually cares about all the trolling and toxicity that goes on in games. i just got a 14 day suspension because my support yasuo who went 1/8 in ranked decided he didn't like me calling him a feeder. okay so I'm the bad guy now because a troll tilted me? I've been playing this game since 2012 and ever since i started the player community has been toxic, and riot has done little to nothing to actually create change. new honor system? congrats, doesn't do much when the duo bot lane feeds and then reports you. oh you have a ban system in place? would be a shame if anything good actually came of it. its the same exact ban system thats been going on for forever and its not working. hey riot, maybe try something new?

They care quite a bit, and punish intentional trolling and toxicity reliably when confirmed. Intentional feeding is a little harder to confirm than toxicity in many cases though, so it can take a little longer.

Do you have your chat logs? I ask because you do NOT get punished for someone else feeding, but rather for your own response to that action. He is (and likely will be) held accountable for his actions, but that does not resolve you of the expectation to behave respectfully towards your fellow players.

If you instantly received a 14 day suspension, no warning, no chatbans, then you're guilty of hate speech.

They do. If they didn't toxic players would make everyone else leave, bankrupting Riot.

Post entire chatlogs, then we can discuss this part. Untill then, guilty until proven innocent.

Yes. This game is also a test of patience, if you can't pass that test, find something else to do. No one can force you to not play certain champs in certain roles, and you can't force anyone else to not play certain champs on certain roles. It's just how the game is, has always been, and will always be.

I've been playing this game since 2012 and ever since i started the player community has been toxic, and riot has done little to nothing to actually create change.

You can't change toxic people. Toxic people will be toxic. You might have noticed that when community as large and connected as Leagues community forms, it can be percieved as toxic. That said, it's 100% subjective. I for one don't consider the community toxic just because of some inevitable assholes.

new honor system? congrats, doesn't do much when the duo bot lane feeds and then reports you.

Give me a single case where an innocent player has been banned, and not been unbanned. Not by your definition of innocent, but by Riots definition.

oh you have a ban system in place? would be a shame if anything good actually came of it.

It punished you, so evidently some good does come of it. You might not agree, but if the system punished you, you deserved to be punished.

its the same exact ban system thats been going on for forever and its not working.

No it's not. The current ban system is a highly effective automated system. It actively learns from every single report what the community wants and does not want in their games. (To an extent, of course).

The old system was an extremely slow manual system, where a few dedicated players could vote for punishments.

hey riot, maybe try something new?

This system changes literally every day. They are trying something new every single day.

guilty until proven innocent. sounds like riot games to me. i had a huge response posted because i thought your name had RIOT in it. as to your huge response, obviously the majority of the community doesn't feel the same way you do, since none of us trust riot games. as to your "single case" I'm not gonna bother looking it up to see if it was over turned or not but wasn't there an entire team of players recently banned for a legit tactic in ascension? an entire team got a 14 day ban. props to riots banning system on that one.

Nono, I my eyes you are guilty untill proven innocent.

You were already proven guilty by Riot, so to me you would need to prove yourself innocent. (That said, you ofcourse don't have to prove anything if you don't care.

as to your huge response, obviously the majority of the community doesn't feel the same way you do,

Really? I would venture to disagree. In fact, I KNOW most of the community feels the same way I do. (Well, maybe not 100%, but generally).

since none of us trust riot games.

Who are 'us'? I know most of boards certainly have a trust in Riot. (Though that's to be expected). Though we really don't have a way of measuring. Most who trust Riot aren't vocal about it. Why would they need to be?

Very wierd case, and they were indeed banned. But they were unbanned, And as it turns out, the ones who directly handled their bans weren't even Riot.

I have to agree with you for the most part. Its funny the people who don't seem to "trust" Riot are the ones who got banned and see no error in their actions. Honestly Its this part of the forums and seeing how people act in ranked in videos is why I never touched it (played 2 games of ranked ever had my account since around season 4) I love this game and I mainly play ARAM or Normal with some friends but wow I see no benefit to getting tilted over this game enough to get banned its fun most of the people are hilarious just enjoy the game people it isn't hard.

Piping in just to say I fully agree with ralleren's post.

Most people do trust riot games and do feel the same way. Lo and behold we aren't banned.

If those people wanted to win the game, sure.

All they did were stopping people from winning with sunfire caps while in stealth. then they would run around playing hide and seek without the intention of getting any points. Stalling the game out to the point where the enemy had to surrender to get out of the game, making it a miserable experience for their enemy and waste of time.

True trolling at its finest.
