Intentional Feeding vs Toxicity Where is Riot?

Why hasn't Riot done any focus at all on the real people who ruin the game? People who get their feelings hurt still can play the game and mute the player and move on. There is nothing you can do when one is hellbent on losing the game. This does not just effect low elo, this is every elo. Riot has literally implemented bots to detect toxicity, but can't do the same to filter for people buying all tears, mobis, or zeals? You can't find people who go 0-30 in a 20 minute game? Riot can certainly do better.

If you think about it, they switched priority over time.

Back in the day, we just warned people for using language and we B.A.N.N.E.D. them for intentional game throwing.

Now we sweep the game throwing under the rug, and ban the players for using language.

"but i'm truly offended!"

They have bots, people buying all tears, mobis, and zeals (or related easy to detect "troll builds") are easily banned and quickly so.

People going 0/30 in a 20 minute game, if they're just running it down, are likewise quickly banned.

I looked through your recent games on this account, although I will say they aren't since April. You have had nobody who meets either of those criteria. I am unsure why you are complaining about a problem you have no experience that it exists.

Int feeders do get punished, it's just harder to catch the silent troll as compared to the obvious flamer in chat.

Trolls and inters do get banned but because they're getting smarter about how they avoid detection (and because Riot wants to try to avoid punishing innocent players as much as possible) it's harder to catch them in the act compared to simple chat-related offenses. Gameplay related offenses when proven to be on purpose are assigned a 2-week ban as the first punishment. In case you don’t believe me on this point here are a couple examples of gameplay trolls being banned. Yes it’s just a few examples, but it proves that they do get punished.
