Then you will see why trying to police the human race (e.g. in League) will always fail in the end. It's like trying to stop aging. The Grim Reaper will always get you.
tl;dr; The Ahab scene is one of the most dramatic movie moments in recent history.
see the thing is...riot isn't trying to control how you are acting, they are just saying they don't want that type of behavior on their privatly owned platform and tell you to leave, if you don't wanna follow the guide lines.
it's no different from you kicking someone out of your house for doing something you don't want them to do....they aren't telling you, you can't behave that way, they are however telling you, you can't behave like that here...
The alternative being what, letting League devolve into a wasteland of escalating toxicity?
Hmmm... I'd delete this post if I were you. It borderlines spoilers and is currently not allowed on the boards.
Can tell by the downvotes that no one here likes Star Trek. Shouldn't have posted this during the Last Jedi fan rush.....
I gave plenty of alternatives but no one wants to be a trailblazer and put in the work. Because people make inconvenient excuses as to why "we want people to be in la-la land!" (dreamworld).
DISABLE MOST/ALL ABILITY TO TYPE IN CHAT EXCEPT VIA parser COMMANDS to party members or friends. (this isn't hard). commands to /party would be unlimited, as well as whispers, etc. VERY limited ability to type in normal chat (strict limit, even stricter than current "Chat Restriction" punishment).
(benefits: can't be toxic, can't make death threats, can't go around blaming the jungler and bot lane for them tilting, blah blah).
REVAMP and EXPAND the smart ping system, to prevent a) toxic ? spam, b) no death timers on teammates allowed except YOURSELF, enemy timers are a go. c) greatly enhanced parser to allow much more information, like a Baron submenu: "let's secure Baron" "enemy has vision around Baron", etc, and a Dragon submenu. Other submenus like "Let's push down mid/top/bot", "Ward and take control of enemy jungle", "Enemy has control of our jungle", etc.
You get the point.
Allow certain of these smart pings to be set on hotkeys for quick access or modifier+hotkeys. Prevent spamming by having a VERY strict limit on the amount of phrases that can be typed.
Drawback: cuts down on "social" random interaction. Cuts down on some of the fun of meeting very friendly players.
Counterarguments to proposed system "drawbacks":
So what about this doesn't make sense? Or is it just too much of an "Inconvenient truth"?
