@riot enough is enough

This is beyond unacceptable.

I am placed into games with intentional feeders, trolls, and leavers every single day that I play League of Legends. Every day, your players have to put up with their time on your product being wasted because you refuse to clean up this community. I have been tolerant for the longest time, I send post-game reports, I abstain from sending tickets, but this is getting absolutely pathetic.

You say your system works but it clearly doesn't. I write down the names of those people who openly ruin the gaming experience of me and others. I send my report and patiently wait.

SURELY! with the clear evidence presented they should be banned from playing this game. But day after day I search the match history of these accounts and they continue playing without punishment. Day after day I encounter more and more of these players, trolling, feeding, and LAUGHING at your system because they know it DOES NOT WORK.

Nobody takes the report system seriously, nobody thinks they will be punished for abusing it.

I am a patient person. But I do not understand how your company can not be absolutely insulted that people will OPENLY, WITH INTENT AND CLEAR, SELF-ADMITTED EVIDENCE, ABUSE AND THEN LAUGH AT THE REPORT SYSTEM. How is "unlucky, we all get them", a universally accepted response to these types of matches? How are you not disgusted that the response of your community to these unfair, unenjoyable games is "oh well, its statistics, happens to everyone".

Your performance is at the lowest of lows. These abusers do not expect they will be punished, they do not presume they will be punished. They do not even consider that they may be punished. They are ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT, that they will not be punished, and so they openly present evidence and **LAUGH **in the face of warning.

Something seriously needs to be done about the state of this community.

Keep calm man!

Anyway, even if the ban system worked well, those players would just create a new account. You can't stop a Trundle

Can we get some examples of what you have experienced? Like match histories? Just block out the names.

The angle this post takes to present the issues is so crazy that if I read a comment below of someone saying it was just a joke, I would believe them

The only way to get banned without doing something very extreme(basically illegal) is to use trigger words. Once you learn about them, they are easy to avoid so they can do whatever they want. They have the right to be confident. I can't say I care about them not banning people, I am very furious about them only banning people for using trigger words, it's basically promoting toxicity.

Trigger Words=ban spamming chat=chat restriction (escalated up). The day we have a system that can properly understand human speech, context, think like a human, calculate like a human and make educated decisions like a human, tempered by EMOTION, CONTEXT, and FEELINGS (e.g. lighter punishments if some kid, who lost his parents in a car crash, gets flamed by a jerk who says "I hope your mom dies of cancer", and then that kid goes berzerk in chat)--when THAT day comes, that will be the birth of Skynet, or the beginning of the end of the human race, due to A.I. (and no, this is not a troll).

We don't have the technology to have automated scripts do a human's job, regardless of how much money you throw at the problem.

I feel you OP. I stopped tracking people because it just doesn't show any results. Best I saw was someone said "kys f-ggot" a few times and I saw him stop playing for 16 days. I feel like Riot needs to acknowledge that someone dying under the enemy tower 2 times within 3 minutes is inting, not a few bad dives.

Agreed. Had a damn Warwick AND Riven trolling stupid hard in my last two games and throwing the match. I dunno how often you get them, but I am in agreeance on it feeling like a regular thing at this point.

I'd hate to say it, but this game was far better prior to Season 5. Now everything is pretty much ruined. It's piss poor and inexcusable just how the quality has tanked and it's no wonder people are leaving.

I agree Riot's system is imperfect. However, I think it's a fair point someone else already made that banning all of these people won't completely solve the problem because the one's who really do abuse the system with intent will just make new accounts over and over again unfortunately.

Part of the problem I think can be solved is implementing ping rules for ranked play. There are issues outside of strictly players being toxic. A lot of afkers happen because their internet is shitty. If Riot truly cared about the quality of their product they'd understand more that allowing players to play their game on a competitive level, which ranked is intended to be, who have unreliable and/or shitty internet that's going to make them lag at hundreds of ping or more is going to hurt the game and hurt players' experience.

In casual tournaments/ladders I've been in I have lost matches because a teammate has unreliable internet and ends up lagging out in the game, ultimately causing them to dc entirely. I strongly believe ranked Solo Q could be that much better if Riot cracked down and forced players have or at least have recently show in games, regardless of que type, that their ping tends to be high or unreliable and keep them from playing ranked games. By all means let them enjoy normals and ARAMs and what ever. But when LP is at stake why should I have to suffer the risk of playing with someone who may even be fully aware that their internet is faulty, but decide their going to play ranked anyways and then be upset that their ping is like 200 or something.

I had college internet that was shitty for playing League ranked. Unlike many players I was sportsmanlike and responsible enough to recognize I shouldn't play ranked with more than x amount of ping roughly. Instead I played ARAMs and normals. When I did play ranked on said college internet I did so responsibly by timing it when most of my dorm mates were out and not using the internet themselves on top of what I was wanting to do. Which is the same as those I know can have decent ping, but they share their living space with family or roommates. Players just need to be more responsible and accept the fact they shouldn't play ranked if they know their roommates or whomever is going to be streaming playing Overwatch on their console or what have you and they know that's going to spike up their ping. Riot can only do so much. Getting afkers and laggers out of ranked games is partially on Riot needing to be more firm and it's partially on players to stop being dicks, which probably won't change unless Riot was willing to punish players who play ranked after their previous match had them lagging most of the game.

I sincerely agree. i find it unfathomable that i, as a completely unpunished player, keep getting matched with flamers, leavers and griefers.

I still believe that there should be a separate que for players guilty, or even reported enough for being unpleasent. i actually dont care about que times if it means i dont have to spent 20 minutes getting flamed at in all chat because didnt read the flaming players mind. Its gotten to the point where i after a almost a year long hiatus from lol, i just want to quit again. I have never experienced anything like this, and i have been playing since 2009. And my experience is that it is getting worse.

Its horrible that this behavior isnt punished harder, because even if you arent the target, someone else is.
