What do you think of prisoner island.

riot is against making a prisoner island which would basically be.

toxic player play with toxic player. non-toxic player play with non-toxic player.

i want to know if you would want a prisoner island rather than account ban for toxicity (and just by curiosity, want to know what both toxic and non-toxic player think about it)

It's not as simple as that. You also have to consider the technicality of a prisoner's island. You are not splitting the player base in half. The so called toxic players are a minority with low percentage. You have to take matchmaking into account. If say a Platinum tier toxic islander queue up for a game, where would matchmaking be able to find 9 other Platinum toxic islanders with similar MMR to match him with? I can't imagine the potential queue pool to be large enough for the toxic islanders to be able to find a ranked match with any fairness or at least within any reasonable queue time. Toxic island would effectively be locked out of ranked matches because who's willing to sit for hours to find a Gold/Plat/Diamond game? How is matchmaking going to be able to find 10 Top, Mid, Bot, Supp, Jg primary/secondary pick to even get the match going? It's going to be auto-filled toxic island.

There's also the matter of how do you get out of the toxic island? It is known that it takes something like 5-6 months of average games played to de-escalate a punishment tier and it also take a few months to go up in honor. Do you really want to sit for an hour in queue (in toxic island) to get a match going every day? Those games likely to be grossly unfair with diamonds getting matched with bronzes because matchmaking will not be able to find a fair MMR match with such a small pool of people. With less match you can play per day, it will take more than 6 months to even get out. I'd rather abandon the account and start a new one...

People don't realize that this game is already a prisoners island.

Hilarious.

Dont like it, basicly just a cesspool creating more toxicity.

This would have been a cool idea back when this game had many more million players.

Right now, in the western servers at least, the waiting times on that queue would be so big that permabanning them seems more gentle.

(I consider myself a non-toxic player, last 8 seasons no punishment, although I don't see how this is relevant to my opinion)

It makes players stop playing Nobody wants to play with toxic players even themselves

it would increase drastically the queue times for some even more demotivating to play leads to less money since those people also buy skins and participate in events

prisoners island is one way of slowly killing your game
