You can't type nothing in chat because everything is racist, toxic, unsportsmanlike and shit but what realy hurts the game are fucking trolls that ACTUALLY ruin your game. Is this a rated E for everyone game that you cant say somebody sucks or is trash because they get offended the littlwe cucks, but people actually trolling dont get suspended because they never type in chat therefore they are inmmune

They care about both. No one wants a troll, but people are equally sick and tired of temper tantrums in game. Riot doesn't decide everything that is punishable, some of it they leave up to the community. If enough of the community is reporting it Riot takes a stand, and little shits not knowing when to keep their mouths shut and just play got reported enough.

Riot's not protecting the feelings of the easily offended, they are saying the community has had enough and you're welcome to play a different game if you don't feel like growing up. This game has moved on, so either move on with it and drop the poor behavior or find something else to play.

xD you have no idea how the rating system actually works, do you?

The game is rated T for teen due to things inside the game, involving the game itself. Online interactions are not rated.

That being said it is easier to check chat and punish, which is why there are more chat penalties before perma (pending escalation because 0 tolerance). Proving someone is trolling or inting, isn't always easy.

It's pretty easy to chat without being punished. If you find that hard you need to have a look at how you communicate - would you talk to people you don't know in real life like that?

Trolling isn't immune, but it obviously takes a lot longer to punish as it needs to be done manually.

So you can say whatever you please and create a negative influence in the game while Riot focuses on Trolling? Putting aside the Terms of Use and disregarding other players in general? No. Also, what you may consider trolling may not be actually trolling. Just because a player isn't playing by your standards or doing what you want doesn't mean they're trolling. Riot focuses on both. It's just chat is easier to catch. Besides, words should always chance consequences. If you say something to offend a player, there should always be consequences.

Both ruin the game. Just because you want to have the freedom of not facing the consequences of your words doesn't mean Riot should just let you.

Seen it already. But it doesn't include the rest of the toxic players I am talking about. When I speak of it, I am talking about the community in whole. Specifically the toxic players. One player having issues with his culture shock on NA server doesn't speak for the majority of the community with their sadistic, cruel, and demented roles on the internet.

yeah I get what u're saying. What Im thinking is that the game should have a pop-out window sets in Tab score broad says :"if u think someone is disturbing, please mute them and ignore" and make the mute button more clear

Don't quite get what you're saying. Please explain.

Riot don't care what you type. Riot don't care how you play.

This was probly downvoted because players were offended.

Hes right, even if the manner he approached the issue wasn't the best.

No, that's not right. Also explain how not having an AUTOMATED system would somehow speed up MANUAL reviews?

Most people you think are trolling arent really trolling.

I dunno I've found a few junglers who were literally just not saying a word and walking around in the jungle, not participating in fights, taking in the sights and barely killing their own camps. I get they're not really staffed to do this type of thing but reports for literal trolling should be flagged immediately. You're given options to type what happened in the game, so if they see someone typed "This guy was just walking around the jungle barely doing anything, not taking camps, or participating in fights" that should trigger a manual review.

Thats already how the system works. Trolling reviews is largely manually reviewed right now, it's just super backlogged to the point that there may be a 2 week - 1 month delay before a game is actually reviewed.

Then they should hire more staff. That's way too long to allow a troll to continue doing stuff like this.

If it was that easy for Riot to just throw more manpower at it don't you think they would have? Yes Riot makes a lot of money, but they also spend a lot of money. If you've got numbers on their net income as a company that would actually be useful, but I already know no one has those numbers.

Riot Tantram says that they are working on something wvwn more exciting than monthly report cards, and monthly report cards is already a pretty hyped concept.

I'm sure more visibility and transparency would reduce toxicity. Sometimes throwing more money at a problem doesn't really solve the problem.

Yeah, but if the problem is being behind due to lack of people, it does. More visibility and transparency could make the system more vulnerable.

The thing you have to think about is, "how many people would I have to hire to review millions upon millions of reports a day, to get on pace with the amount of trolling reports received?"

Because, remember, League's playerbase numbers well into the millions. The amount of people it'd take to put even a dent in the trolling problem would be horribly unreasonable to try and muster.

With hundreds upon thousands upon likely millions of reports for trolling, intentionally feeding, and griefing, a good majority of which are likely false reports, trying to actually catch up or run through the backlog of reports would be such a godsawful expensive effort that making a whole new game would be a better investment.

One step could be at least to place reports with text on a higher priority. I'm sure most people just report and move on without bothering to write text. I know I do(unless these situations occur). I'm not sure if this is already the case or not, but if it isn't, it's something to think about. As for the amount they'd have to hire, hell they could hire 50 people and it'd be more than we have right now.
