The system currently works for only those who can tolerate stupidity being thrown at them FOREVER

EVENTUALLY I snap after listening to stupidity. I EVENTUALLY can't listen to idiots coming at me about things that are clearly not my fault/problem/within my realm of preventing.

Thing is, as soon as that happens, i get a report. then maybe 15-20 games later it happens again and woah next thing we know we are 25 chat banned. maybe another 20 im 14 day banned

YOU NEED CONTEXT. As a jungle main i get flamed and blamed for almost everything under the sun no matter what i do and it's unfair to expect a human being to just sit and take it FOREVER which is what this system asks for

I get that the system has to be strict but you are on the fence. go all in and and allow ZERO passive aggressive etc or lean back a bit its nonsense atm

EDIT - to those who say "there is no excuse for flaming"

not all reports are flaming. most of my reports are me defending myself from insane statements and attacks. that isn't flaming but if it "upsets them" and they report me i get a punishment

You admit that you "snap" (which means you end up being toxic) due to "listening to stupidity". There's two options for you - you can mute them, or you can risk snapping and being toxic. You are not expected to "sit and take it". You are expected to not dish it back.

YOU NEED CONTEXT.

No, we don't. There's no context in which flaming or snapping is appropriate.

If you can't mute people who are harassing you, then that's your problem. If you lash out and get punished, it's your problem. If you can't compose yourself in a role you know is stressful, that's your problem.

This is why we don't need context - because it's not other players keeping you from muting them, it's not other players making you type. It's you.

and it's unfair to expect a human being to just sit and take it FOREVER which is what this system asks for

We don't expect you to take abuse. You have the mute feature for just that reason, and we expect you to use it and compose yourself.

Besides, nobody's perfect - which is exactly why the system is fairly lenient going up to the first punishment. But, if you are consistently negative, consistently lashing out, flaming, harassing your teammates - you will be punished - which seems to be the case here.

You act like this is unique to League.

In friendships, relationships, family, work, business, and any other context that you interact with other human beings, you will deal with stupid people and/or people doing stupid things. The best thing you can do, in League and in life, is to realize that you don't need to "win" every interaction. If a dear friend or family member of mine does something colossally stupid, I can feel justified in getting upset and taking issue with it, but is it worth it? Probably not. Successful people don't waste time arguing with folks over inconsequential bullshit.

I work on a two strike system. I will respectfully respond to the toxic player with, "Please stop" or "You can stop now." If they make even ONE more comment, I mute them and report them afterwards.

I get the "Player has been punished" notification every time I log in now.

I don't know what you mean by EVENTUALLY yoiu can't listen to idiots, etc... And that's when you get a report.

So you having enough listening to stupidity, results in you adding to the stupidity? Instead of muting them? The solution is RIGHT THERE in your words. Don't LISTEN anymore. Mute them.

I don't see why you having enough means you have to begin arguing with them. And let's be honest, how many times after a game were you glad you started arguing with them, because it made them play better and you won the game because of it? I'm guessing it's pretty rare. Your method of problem solving is ineffective so why bother? You just one of them people that loves drama?

Edit: also I love how you turn it around on them, saying it "upsets them" so you get punished. Aren't you also getting upset and that's why you snap?

You cant just mute them? You dont have to listen to them forever. The chat has rarely been a helpful tool in games for me. Once in a great while the chat helps setup some plays, but in most cases pings are all that's needed.

Well i mean. Less than one percent of the playerbase has ever been banned. So, yeah.

Idk why people try to give reason on why they have no self control like it's supposed to help their case
