Ok, so riot bans people who flame instantly, but doesn't ban trolls at all??

Basically, I met a troll jungler in a ranked game.

He fed his ass off, and he stole laners wave ( not just mine, but others as well), and afked. (no one pinged him, no one flamed him or anything. he just straight up afked)

I was like. Ok one of those unlucky games. so I told me team to report him and moved on to the next game.

3 days later, I was in promo. and in the lobby I realized that my jungler was that guy.

I told people to dodge but no one did. (I coulnd't dodge in promos)

In game, he obviously inted again, and legit typed this out: " you know me, surrender"

And I got super mad because this guy is actually trolling intentionally and he didn't get punished for that.

I didn't say anything because I learned from experience that I get instant ban if I flame people out loud,

but honestly I think trolling intentionally is kinda worse than being toxic.

I understand if he is just having a bad game or something but legit intentional trolling? OMG

You get punished instantly when you flame one game and get many reports, but you don't get punished for trolling multiple games and waste people's lp and time?

Well, he might get punished after like 20 games of straight trolling, but he already ruined about 80 people's game.

I understand that the definition of trolling is kinda unclear, and it's hard to determine whether someones just having a bad game or trolling,

but it's not necessarily implying that riot's current reaction to trolls is okay.

They do ban trolls.

It's just infinitely harder to catch actual trolls with an automated system than it is with a simple language detection software.

Police not being able to catch the serial killer yet doesn't mean they stop giving speeding tickets.

Doing poorly =/= trolling.

Doing poorly isn't reportable.

The IFS bans right away. It's like instant coffee. It works. It does the job.

Manually reviewed bans for feeding, trolling, etc. are like good, slow, drip coffee or a lovingly made espresso or french press. It takes a little while longer, but it's soooooooo worth it in the end.

heyy another let's blame riot post, how original of you

but it's not necessarily implying that riot's current reaction to trolls is okay.

funny how you have no idea how to make their "current reaction to trolls" more okay
