Bring back the Tribunal

It may have been fun to read But it definitely wasn't a good system

The tribunal was largely ineffective. Due the the size of League's playerbase and the amount of players who actually participated, it was very slow in handing out punishments, often times giving out a punishment to a player 4+ months after the offense was made. Considering that League's playerbase has grown exponentially over the years since Riot has scrapped the Tribunal, I'd imagine that the process would be even slower than before.

it was great system. Players should be the judge of others

fun to read

That was pretty much all it was good for. Functionally, it was pretty crappy.

No, the system we have now (which was made with data gathered from the Tribunal) while not perfect and in need of improvements is far more effective than the Tribunal ever was. From Riot Tantram:

Actually, not.

The tribunal was pretty slow. So slow, that it couldn't keep up with the number of cases coming in. By the time we shut it down, people were being penalized many months .. maybe more .. after the behavior.

Maybe by the time the player was penalized they are no longer exhibiting that behavior?

But certainly, the feedback loop is so long that reform from a penalty is highly unlikely because the individual won't remember the game.
