People low key but intentionally trolling is far FAR more than .006%.

I'm talking about people who absolutely go admit that they're about to troll because they didn't get call order in blind so they pick and lock anyways then spam laugh in lane while fighting you for cs. I'm tired of this game and how ME the one trying to PLAY THE GAME BY THE RULES has to be bullied or be banned by these ass hats who troll and better yet the assier hats on the opposite team who encourage trolling so they can get a free win, and the 'YES Men' trolls who mock you in all chat for being upset. No I wasn't verbally abusive, but I FUCKING WANTED TO BE! It's BS that these kinds of jerks can get away with this behavior consistently but if you call someone a POS FEEDER/TROLL/ETC INSTANT BAN. I'm about to uninstall this game.

I swear to god Lyte is a damn troll because EVERYTHING he's done has made things worse! I don't care about his statistics I'm not unlucky enough for it to happen 70% of the time! And neither are my friends!

There's needs to be a check box reporting that says "Encouraging Greifing"

This game's been around for what 7 years? Still no report system for champ select douchness.

#SALT I work 40-60H a week, I don't have the patience for these damn trolls.

If only you were allowed to insult people, that would certainly solve the problem right?

People can lock anything they want. People can CS if they want. Call order doesnt exist. Especially in normal games, u can play what u want, how u want and noone has right to abuse u for that.

The report system is a joke, My account is ban for being toxic yet i just played two games, my only two games for the day. first game: adc 0 and 5 at 10 min then afks. Second game: Adc gives first blood and afks, then jgler says his mom is making him go sit at the dinner table and afks.(but before doing so tells the enemy jg to meet him at red for free kill, " so they will ff faster " Yet these guys will never get a ban. This game encourages trolling and punishes you if you hurt somebodys feelings. Crazy. (or if you curse to much)

There should be a report option for: toxicity baiting. which is basically when you do the shit that baits others to respond with toxicity, like for example say "call me a noob, i dare you, don't be a chicken, just say it, call me a fucking noob. cmon stop being a chick, call me a fucking noob. show your true rage"

Bout to agree with you until you said blind pick. There are no rules in blind pick. Ya fool.

I 100% agree. I just worked off a chat restriction because of a game 4 days ago where not only did I have such a troll in the game (we lost) but my asking this person several times to group, finally getting to the point of so pissed off that I let a word slip out.. In over an hour long game, one word.. hell, the chat for that game on my end was only 14 lines, with 9 of them being the requests for this person to group and stop intentionally feeding. The game itself was overall toxic from the opponents side as they constantly were spewing hate speech and congratulating the troll.

Riot has a problem. They have a system in place that is suppose to reduce toxicity and punish intentional feeders, yet, the system that's in place now hardly works. If the system actually worked, then I should be getting more pop ups about my reports causing a player to be punished because I've seen and reported more hate speech and intentional feeding than at a KKK all you can eat bbq.

In fact, I will go on to say that the system is DESIGNED to enable the trolls. A troll can intentionally feed several games in a row, even on a stream, and avoid punishment, but the moment someone says a naughty word to them the system comes down on them harder than a target bathroom employee on a transgendered person. A troll doesn't care about whether they win or lose a game, because even if they do get punished, the damage has already been done. You still lost LP, MMR etc for that game so they ultimately won.

Hell, I shared something with @riotgames on twitter that proved my point yesterday. One person I follow who's a well known youtuber was the victim of a person in diamond dynamic queue that picked teemo jungle and intentionally fed with it. Not just having a bad game, but started out in champion select. What's worse is we can't dodge these types of games either without waiting 6 minutes and losing 3 points. I mean, we're already waiting 10+ minutes in the terrible dynamic queue for some of our main roles.

I would love for a rioter that actually gave a damn about their job and this game to comment on if they have any plans on fixing the system to more accurately detect and punish intentional feeders, but sadly, I don't think we're going to get an actual response

With a name like "Moral Pinnacle" and a post that is 90% profanity, I can only assume you make several intelligent, well-thought out points.

I'll never know though, because I'll never read this post - if I wanted to read an incoherent stream of inarticulate gibberish, I'd read James Joyce's Ulysses again.

I wouldn't even use that example to describe low key trolling.

At least the behavior is blatant.

Draft helps clear up a lot of the emotions that motivate that behavior, but still no way to really target the people who consistently do that

it's not trolling when they instant troll pick in blind , it is when you do it .

"low key" trolling is an interesting way to describe it.

I feel like a lot of these trolls, which aren't just outright automated bots, have some sort of weird bastardized-morality that riot seems to encourage. Or in their world they think that if they can justify the loss for logical sounding reasons, then if ever reported, riot will simply accept explanation. Who knows.

So for instance, if I build an item a little out of the ordinary, that will then become the 'excuse' to throw the match.

"Oh, you went adc tele??? that's why as support I kept tower diving and then left completely."

Or.

oh you're playing a cute but deadly yordle. forget it, then everything is your fault of course

"That's why you don't play teemo"

So basically, in these troll matches, the ENTIRE enemy team will come to my lane to power dive the crap out of me, meanwhile in the other lanes the troll are just leisurely hitting a minion here, or wandering off into jungle, nobody makes any efforts to push a lane or anything. Once I'm dead, then they often come running, for NO REASON again. So if they are in bot lane, doing nothing, they will run over to top lane and vice versa.

To you it may seem OBVIOUS and ridiculous, but if riot ever looks at the match, basically you got like maybe 30 seconds to make an impression, all Riot Support will see is their MAGICAL END GAME stats screen, and form stupid uninformed conclusions.

TL;DR trolls/cheats/boosters engage in behavior designed to look legit to riot support who probably get thousands of reports and tickets daily....

Just queue with your friends and report people who are better than you. It'll bring the community down to your level real quick.

Mad about people playing off meta? Play with friends. Don't want to play with people you know? Uninstall. Also, don't blame your job for not having patience. Poor thing has to work for a living. :c

I get banned for telling someonehe is a douche for telling me to kill myself and catch aids and he still plays. He said this to me becuse i asked him to go afk instead of walking into tower and dying the whole game. Then i got banned and it said i was in the .002 percentile. Idk where they got that number but these toxic trols are in every game i play

riot will never be able to eliminate trolls from this game. LoL is a dream come true for real trolls.

they get you for 30+ minutes. there is no escape for you. they can make your enemies stronger and can get you banned if you rage at them. its the perfect rules for trolling. no other game comes close
