is the automated system not there to better the community but just to "get results"

meaning, with all the focus on toxic chat as opposed to people deliberately trolling. i sometimes wonder if riot' ban policy is based around banning flamers/ragers, simply because theyre easy to catch, and can be used as statistics to make it look like theyre doing something. and the strike system leading to an eventual permaban is to just make it look like they "believe in reform" while hoping you eventually get the hammer and make a new account

To me it is a matter of effectiveness of resources. So i guess you could say the answer is yes, they target toxic chat because it is easier.

So you can spend X amount of resources on either trolling or chat. Focusing that on chat improves the player experience by Y. Focusing that on trolls you can improve the experience by Z. If Y is greater than Z then you get more out of cleaning up chat than you do cleaning up trolls.

Realistically though there is a lot of trolling that will probably never be caught. They will always have plausible deniability on their side. Most trolling is just doing normally inappropriate things at inappropriate times. Determining that they were doing it at that inappropriate time for the purpose of griefing is incredibly difficult, if not impossible in some cases. I don't think it is much of a matter of resources at this point with trolling. It is simply a matter of many cases being undeterminable.

It's kinda moot at this point anyway. While I'm sure there is still work on the automated chat system, it's automated and running. It's doing its thing without intervention. The automated system policing chat doesn't take much of anything away from anti trolling efforts at this point.

Trolls are rare. If riot waved a magic wand and made all the trolls disappear nothing about my experience would really change. I'm pretty sure I can count on 1 hand the number of trolls I have encountered in the thousands of games I have played since season 1.

trust me when i say i will be getting back my account, i dont pln on making multiple accounts then get slammed for account multi tasking or violating the rules. I never once did within the 1 month ive been here n not about to, i know better, but this is not the New World Order Riot! Your reporting system has, most likely in 90% of cases i seen since yesterday, is flawed and stupid.

You see players playing fuking bot games and go 30/0/0 or 40+/0/5 etc, why the fuck are they there in the first place? just so we cant excel at the same rate as if the playing field be equal for all but u see that one random guy with multi accounts.

Ive only played against bots so far out of 70 matches i got 68 wins, and i dont plan on ruining that anytime soon playing pvp, ive never been this baffled by a screw up in years since my playing days on WoW back in 09,

riot solve 1 problem at a times they will eventually get to the point about all the imaginary "trolls" that everyone see, a simple way would be to enforce 1 meta only. 2/1/2, 1/2/2, 1/1/3, 3/1/1, 1/3/1 1t/1m/1b/2j.
