riot. please stop saying taking hextech rewards from negative players is "you're not being punished, you're just not being rewarded" this is patronizing, and contradicted by the fact that in order to get them you do NOT have to be "positive" just neutral. and just makes it look like you're trying to sugarcoat in order desensitize "positive" players to reports, and make "toxic" players not care

The whole point of it is: "Look at all this cool stuff you're missing out on cause you broke the rules. If you stop breaking them you'll get them too." Just one more incentive to stop people from being toxic.

I honestly suspect it is just you.

They don't sugar coat it. The whole point is: If you're punished you don't get rewards for awhile. If you follow the rules you get to keep the rewards.

It's annoying only to players who break the rules. It helps toxic players reform as it is a sort of incentive. For players that don't break the rules it makes no difference as we just get the rewards no matter what.

If you have trouble keeping up with that it's not their fault.

"you're not being punished you're just not being rewarded" definition of sugar coating. i agree with the policy. however i dont agree with the patronization. if neutral players were exempt with "toxic" players i wouldnt care

not really sugar coating it, thats exactly what is happening when you get out of a punishment, you are no longer being punished, but you also wont be rewarded.

There is no patronisation. Why should neutral players be exempt? They are playing the game as intended. Being positive has its own perks ( badges ).

No its not. Hextech is a reward for playing well, not a given right for players. unless you want to pay for it.

It's not a punishment, It's an incentive not to be toxic and play the game as intended.

And being positive shortens the time you have to wait in order to get rewards again. So, neutral players are rewarded for the consistency of their neutral behaviour, positive players are rewarded for their positive behaviour.

I do understand, but that is the way Riot make money or gets more players (Customers) XD. Many things in League of Legends make most of the players Toxic. First of, they do one single mistake and here you go, it affect everything and you can't get what you want because of one, single mistake. Oh well, that one mistake is always BIG though otherwise, it would be easy to get everything in League of Legends.

This is an addict video game, they are always like that.
