I know this is going to be the 'same old same old' stuff, but the increase of many players out there who are trolling in the game have increased drastically. Firstly, I'm not sure what 'fun' does it bring to those who do this. It's not easy for some players who enjoy the game and those seeking to understand the game better, find it damn hard to do so when you have players who just wants to give a hard time. This negatively affects the minds of players during the game and worse Team chemistry. This gets even worse when it happens in RANKED. i mean, come on. Everyone wants to climb and display a cool profile of how far one has achieved over the course of time. But sadly, this becomes a dream for some because there are others out there just waiting to ruin it.

Take my example, when the position ranks were introduced for 2019 season, naturally a lot of players dropped their ranks. In my case i was iron. But I climbed and reached Bronze 3. Ya its hard cause of the above mentioned reason. But i managed to climb somehow, not to mention along with players "Inting" the games in between. From there, i played few more matches and now by the looks of it, I will probably go back to iron. It's hard to find a good team in ranked. and again WHY RANKED? why would people ruin it for others in RANKED? its just ridiculous.

I say, RIOT should find a solution (not just by reports) by means of other punishments which enable players to have a smooth gaming experience and keeps unwanted players away. It maybe a long shot but something has to be done.

I just had to let this out cause its getting in the nerves for a lot of players out there including me and it's a lot serious. If this keeps up, then am afraid this game will die soon.

More players are deciding to troll as a result of the IFS. The IFS doesn't allow them to express their frustrations through chat, so players express it through gameplay like inting/trolling.

A solution would be to have the IFS be much less strict, and maybe label less things as "toxic" so the IFS won't moderate it, but Riot is stubborn in that matter

Imo, let it. The game is already fraying at the edges because of the code base. Look at the recent releases of champions and all the bugs (even on NON-RELATED CHAMPIONS) that came out from them. A lot of those issues took forever to fix despite people reporting those bugs. A buggy game is not a fun game imo, and Riot's track record imo of bug fixing and general code is going downhill. It sucks because I like the game, but it's getting harder and harder to like it since there is a noticeable increase in issues from bugs that take forever to get fixed or 'get fixed' but stick around (Nunu for example)

They'll have to do some major touching up of the code base which I do not see them doing. It'd be a huge undertaking, and I don't think they'll ever think the R.O.I will be good enough to do it.
