The reporting system isn't sufficient for every kind of Toxic

There is a small but virulent percentage of the games population that can not be dealt with through the normal system. Players who smurf/throw or whatever to get into lower ranks and then intentionally throw games. My recent experience was a mid lane zed who clearly didn't belong and got a huge lead. he started a flame war with our jungler and spent 30 minutes of the game taking jungle camps and creeps from him, refusing to fight and only interacting with the enemy team when they found him or if they had already fought us and won 5v3. never pushed, never defended, never helped and actively denied our jungler creeps and camps all game not to mention the all chatting the enemy team. The reporting system has an option for griefing but this is so much more, such a level of toxic that a report, even by all his teammates isn't going to have the effect.

I know these people are a small percentage of the players, i've had a handful of these experiences over the 6 seasons of playing so Im not advocating anything drastic but there needs to be a link, an email, a support person, something where these few examples of super toxic people can be sent to for review. Id link the replay but I think that violates the name and shame policy. but if anyone at Riot wants to Ill give them all the info. This guy is the most disgusting of trolls.

you cant force people to try to win. i guarantee for everyone 1 of these players you have noticed on your team, 10 quiet ones have snuck past.

'accidentally' getting caught or forcing bad team fights, running into battle and 'forgetting' to use any abilities. wherever there is matchmaking you are going to get people trying to lose. you could punish the more obvious ones but all it will accomplish is making them be more sneaky about it.

if people want to lose they are going to lose.

Yeah the various reporting categories don't cover enough behaviors and even Riot doesn't seem to know the difference since they never ban you for just negative or verbal.

The only way you can really see what happened in a game is to watch it. And Riot don't have the time for that.

That's pretty unfortunate. I had a pretty extreme case not too long ago and surprisingly, he was still playing a few weeks later. Then I saw this one game in his match history: Draven mid-- with 4 mobi boots. Hadn't seen any games from him since.

You are clearly misinformed about what real toxicity is

He never int fed, and by the sounds of it clearly won his lane for the first big chunk of the game. If he got upset and decided to stay in the jungle and farm, you have no right to report him for that if that is how he chooses to play. Taking jungle CS is not toxic, nor is stealing other lane CS, if that was all toxic and bannable most of LoL playerbase would be banned.

ALSO, what about suspending people for being TOXIC? Like this just DOES NOT add up with me. Its not like your running around the game to their base or anything, your being toxic.. Toxic... Its part of the game... THEY SHOULD SERIOUSLY LIFT suspending people WHO are NOT in current chat restriction.. IF YOUR TOXIC with CHAT RESTRICTION, I'm sure YOU HAVE TO really try to be toxic, where in chat, your just arguing back to a player who is just as toxic, but you get suspended because your not as low as him to go waste your time tatty tailing, you would rather play another game and get your rank up like a serious player instad of a low life who has nothing better to do but to report players because they are insecure and in anger that they lost in both the argument and in game.
