Toxic Community Solution Discussion!!!

So everyone knows that league's community can be somewhat toxic and obviously Riot is trying their best to fix it. For me I'm one of the most toxic people I know, so I'll share with you why this system doesn't work. For myself and many other I find it hard playing league or any other game without getting frustrated and mad especially when I have anger issues already. So obviously I start flaming I've tried to keep it down but I can't be reformed. I have just received my 6th perma banned account (5 for toxic, 1 for scripts cuz i wanted to try them, ps. dont!) and the easiest way for me to not be toxic is:

  • either allow me to disable chat completely within the game as an option
  • just permaban chat instead of perma ban accounts (only problem with that is it will limit communication, maybe Riot could implement a quick chat system more involved than pings ie. Champ Name is coming to specific lane)
  • a solution in terms of verbal abuse would be to ban or blockout any bad words like fggot, ngger, c*nt, kys, kill your self etc, League's already filled with children. why not treat them as such. Of course there can still be toxic "you suck" , int feeders, people talking trash etc but it will definitely bring it down.
  • This one I would quite like alot, add a bot messenger I can type to and flame whenever I want that way I can vent and still not be a dick, hell let the bot flame me, It would be funny.

Being Perma-banned has taught me a couple things in terms of the banning system

  • you say "ngger", "fggot", "kill your self" in just 1 or 2 games and you will get banned maybe chat ban if first offense but I went from Chat Ban 10 games- 14 day suspension by playing 1 game with my toxic self.
  • Anything thing else and you will first get chat bans which are automatic I think, after a few of those you will get 2 day ban maybe eventually hitting the 7 day-14 day ban and finally perma.

So to conclude this post, the ban system may have improved but there's still a lot of work needed to be done. Yes I know you could just not be a c0ck in chat and ruin peoples days, but for me it's hard I know the consequences and yet still because of my anger issues I either

  • break something like my computer (3 times), mouse or keyboard (2 times), hell I even rip apart headphones (4 times)
  • Scream as loudly as i can cursing and what not, making the people in my dorm, home etc think I'm an animal (which I am of the boosted variety)
  • become a keyboard warrior in chat, venting my frustration that way.

If you downvote I get it, "just be a nicer guy" like I'm trying guys but its hard. Thanks, hope to hear some feedback!

So the game should cater to you instead of banning your bad behavior? I fail to see the logic.

Also, you can mute all chat and each of your teammates as you wish.

Best advice I can give you is that when you think of being toxic try thinking of what else might help your team at that moment. What might help that person play better? What might help your team recover? Can you grab an objective? Can you place a ward and catch their jungler out? Can you clear top and shove the lane so you and the top laner can pressure mid? Think of alternative solutions. Because the one you come up with in a fit of rage is never going to be the one that works.

See the problem here is that you seem to think Riot somehow needs to solve YOUR problem. They don't.

you guys dont see that point at all, obviously it's not just to me when this is a big problem and leagues known as the most toxic community.
