Riot punishments

DreadedMemes··4 votes·2,239 views

Is it just me or does Riot Games do nothing to the trolls who ruin the game, but if you hurt a trolls feelings you get banned? How many people feel this way? I feel like Riot needs to look at more reports. Especially in bronze, the enemy team doesn't report trolls because they just view it as funny and "freelo". Riot, do something about this please. I run into trolls DAILY and I've been playing this game since season 4. I find it ridiculous that if I say one offensive and/or politically incorrect thing to a troll that hurts their feelings I get punished. It is stupid, the way you handle these things. you need to look more in depth at what triggers these reactions. Why do people get upset at eachother? Why did this person say this? Is the reason they got upset valid? There should be more to it than finding one bad thing being said and punishing them for it even though they may have reported the person for trolling, and it been a completely viable report, but just because the rest of the team didn't report it, nothing happens. Please Riot do something.

I just got a 14 day ban because I got tilted at a troll, and I just looked, the troll is still able to play, when they were inting and griefing the entire match. Yes I said some bad things to them, but my team thought it was funny, and didn't report the troll. That's not my fault. I reported them too, but because I said something and all they did was grief you did nothing to them, when they are the ones ruining your game.

RITO PLEASE

There's more to this story but inting is harder to detect.

It's actually ridiculous, players like https://i.gyazo.com/04c879e52a1615ccceb0f3e34cc34123.png are still playing the game today, but if you dare call this troll a fucking monkey, you have a high chance of getting chat restricted

Well, chat restriction IS the lowest punishment you can receive and BOTH trolling AND flaming nets punishments. You're not getting off the hook simply because one person does worst shit.

The issue is that both offenses lead to the same sentence in the end no matter what.

Trolls aren't banned at nearly the same rate.

Of course trolls aren't banned at nearly the same rate. It's easier to tell if you swore and insulted someone than if you meant to die a lot or you were having a bad game.

How do you know they still play if it says their last game was 14 days ago?

Because I know the name of the account and that picture is taken from games he did 14 days ago, but his last game was 1 day ago

Noone is asking u to post name. Just post picture cropped like that with recent match history and his champion stats to the left. It will show Nunu with horrible stats. Also are you saying he suddenly stopped trolling u just scrolled through his match history 14 days ago to find these games?

He did stop trolling after those, 8 nunu games in the original picture

Here you can see 8 games played as nunu with 0% winrate

But it STILL doesnt show that he is still playing. No recent match history included. From last 13 days. TO show that he wasnt banned for 14 days for intentional feeding.

Well reason why he isnt banned is because he stopped trolling.

yep but he still trolled over 8 games in a row and didnt get caught by the troll detection, yet if anyone in one of those 8 games flamed him for trolling they would be punished immediately.

Yes, cause flaming is easier to detect.

If the troll detection can't pick up a dude running ghost/cleanse nunu feeding 8 games in a row then I don't believe there's a detection system at all.

Look at this thread guy opened few mins ago. You can see what kind of bullshit intentional feeders are trying to sell when they get caught.

Chermorg3 votes

How do you know they didn't get caught, get a temp ban, then come back to play after that temp ban?

Why would it matter whether the enemy team reports?

One report is all that is needed to trigger the system to review the game and 9 reports does the same thing as 1 report.

DreadedMemes2 votes

no I can tell from personal experience that is not the case, especially not with trolling and griefing.

Chermorg5 votes

The review is triggered based on only one report, and the outcome of the review is not influenced by number of reports.

1 report will trigger a review, which will say punish/no punish. 9 reports will trigger the same exact review, and will have the same exact outcome as had only one person reported.

Players are not punished for getting reported a lot. Players are punished for violating the rules with proof.

Its just you. Trolls do frequently get reported and banned. Stop whining. You verbally abused or "flamed" someone, which is a violation of the Riot Rules. But you don't get a 14 day ban just because of a few words you said one time. Getting a 14 day ban usually means you either called this person several racial slurs, you started to troll yourself, or this is not the first time this has happened. Secondly, several reports on the same person in a match do not do anything. One report is used and the others are disregarded.

{quoted}

That's not my fault. I reported them too, but because I said something and all they did was grief you did nothing to them, when they are the ones ruining your game.

RITO PLEASE

Secondly, people are not obligated to report people. You reporting someone because they didn't agree with you is honestly hilarious.

DreadedMemes2 votes

actually the ban got lifted. because it was just a few words. thank you. I didn't report anyone because they didn't agree with me at all. not sure what you are talking about there.

Is it just me

Yes. Your perception is slated to seeing more negative experiences and ascribing malicious intent to basic relative incompetence.

if you hurt a trolls feelings you get banned?

If they are a troll, then their feelings weren't hurt. They were baiting you into running afoul of the IFS. Remember: A troll WANTS you to call them out and yell at them. That is their purpose. Don't feed the troll.

I run into trolls DAILY

I'm willing to bet that the majority of them aren't actually trolls. Maybe some of them are actually trolls, but it's not likely.

Is the reason they got upset valid?

It probably is valid. But it isn't justification. If someone harasses you, mute them so that you are not tempted to respond. If someone trolls you, ignore them because they want you to respond. If someone has a shit game, keep your cool because nothing you do will make them play any better.

I just got a 14 day ban because I got tilted at a troll, and I just looked, the troll is still able to play, when they were inting and griefing the entire match.

I'm going to assume the 'troll' was the Taliyah. Who, upon review, was a Bronze 5 player in lane against a Silver 5 Fizz. As I mention in my first line: you are assuming malicious intent to the action when in truth, the player was substantially less competent than the opponent. I'm sorry you got bad matchmaking balance.

No it was the thresh support running predator And intentionally Ksing me as AdC. Then left me alone after 10:00 to the lux mf bot lane where I couldn’t farm and 1vs2. You’re looking at the wrong match. The thresh was decided he’d rather help the mid laner and not me, the adc, and then was flaming me for being behind.

i was in promo's , had a bot go 3/15 , i get banned for 14 days for toxic when they cost me my promo's, what do they get?

You bet your ass they punish toxic play more then ANYTHING, you can feed for 20 games in a row and they don't give a flying fuck, but say something mean and OMG!!!

Hayes1 votes

i just checked, that TROLL i had is 1/9 in their last 10 games, with an average deaths of 13. Tell me again why they don't get in trouble??

Maybe because you are in Bronze 5 elo. Players there are expected to play horribly. Calling Bronze 5 a troll is actually compliment. Troll is good player who plays bad on purpose. Troll in league is basically player who plays like Bronze 5 on purpose.

Hayes1 votes

Except I'm in b5 because of people like that. I've been in b4 5 times this season and in promos for b3 2xs.

And each time I go down down down because of people who play like that, no matter how well I play.

It's not your team that is holding you back. IT is your attitude. If you keep thinking that you're better and it's your team's fault, then you are never going to improve. Getting out of bronze is pretty simple. Stick to a few champions and roles. Focus more on objectives then kills, and don'tplay support or adc.

Hayes1 votes

go look at my Match History, I usually have high CS, Low deaths, and most towers taken etc...im not the problem

Cotten Eyed Joe1 votes

Feeding probably means that they were not having a good game. Rules aren't broken when you die a lot. It's when you die on purpose to aggravate your teammates, that you break Riot Rules.
