IWillDominate: "Season 9 is what the game looks like when you spend years banning people for typing
That is the title of the top post on the league subreddit right now

Might want to check out the top comments in that reddit thread. Many of the top comments are pointing out the hypocrisy of the statement coming from IWillDominate and Wings, and other top comments point out that neither is good (trolls or poor behavior in chat).
At least put the whole quote
IWillDominate: "Season 9 is what the game looks like when you spend years banning people for typing mean things instead of banning people for trolling games"
And tbh, he is right. If they would have spent the same resources over the last years into a system that can effectively punish players that give up in games (doesn't even have to be an automate system, something like the tribunal would actually be a good idea for that), they probably would have came up with a good system for it yet.
The only thing they did is a system that can only detect obvious inters who buy 6 tears and have 30 deaths. A system that can effectively detect and punish trolls would be much harder, but they should at least try to come up with something.
I mean, it’s a somewhat clever turn of phrase. Doesn’t make it mean anything.
This is exactly what League has become.
Wingsofdeathx's reply to that tweet: "I can mute flamers. Where is the mute button on my bot lane running it down for 10 deaths in 12 minutes"
Something has to change. Now. Trolls rule SoloQ.
Sounds like a non sequitur. Of course, I've never been impressed with IWillDominate's take on behavior, so it's probably him being salty as always.
It makes sense actually: since riot puts a lot of focus into chat toxicity -- by making the IFS extremely strict when moderating chat, players who want to express their toxicity won't do it in chat(since it's easy to detect/punish), they'll do it in gameplay terms because it's hard to detect.
Basically, the more focus there is put into chat, the more discouraged trolls will think to express toxicity in chat instead of gameplay.
I would read your title and then your body, then think: "O...kay... what is OP's point? I'm failing to understand what he is trying to discuss."
