Am I the only one that believes that a ban from ranked play is appropriate? It would allow another step of severity to banning accounts without denying access to the game and allowing reform.
This can also help players consider going afk less.
Afk players are a large part of elo hell. If an afk would cause ban from ranked play, it may not be seen as a viable option to troll the team.
Who knows. Maybe nothing will work. Just thought I would give it a shot.
AtreiNero5 votesHonestly this game could use a "prisoner island". The level of toxic players in this game is way too high. Rito is mainly to blame for this because of the two plus year gap between the tribunal, which was working, and this stupid new system. In that time, reports went from a serious threat, to "who the hell cares". Reporting does nothing anymore because no one sees anything from it apart from a stupid popup that comes up way too infrequently for it seems everyone's taste. Rito had the chance to control the community but instead chose to care more about its challenger and pro players and let the rest of the game go to hell. Now they are trying to fix it after the fact, and the problem is the toxic pool, which was relatively minor, has overtaken everything outside of their ivory tower. So they just don't care enough to fix it or at this point are they able to.

Jo0o3 votesI'm tempted to say give it a shot, but I feel like it might turn norms into "prisoners island"
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 voteswould you say that afks are such a problem they would effect every one in rank ?
Tyezen1 votesYep, definitely, if not for afk then the peeps who decide to feed all game intentionally, even announcing it to the enemy team and still they more than likely get to play. Mostly because the enemy team honors said player so that the reports from our team are nulled and the AI used by Riot just ignores the bans. They need to have an actual group of people. preferably that don't play the game, but if that is impossible vet some trusted players and have them run the tribunal. Instead of a computer that doesn't actually look at all the facts.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesi use to be on the tribunal... i had a 99% accuracy rate and one of the top members on it...
my point to my question though... is that if this effects every one through out rank then by the end of the season it will balanced out and im willing to bet it has less of an impact on your rank/tier/elo then people think.
i would be willing to say the afk,troll, feeder is about 8-12% of games so lets say an average of 10% if you play 300 games in a season thats 30 games... so you have a chance to win 270 that arent effected by this 10 % if you win those 270 games at 56% in your rank your over all win rate would be (including the 10% of afk/trolls etc ) would be 52% and if you are better then your tier or division you should win about 58-64% of games to climb so if you win 60% of the 270 games thats 162 wins out of 300 for a win rate of 54% which if you dont have streaks of losses and win on a constant basis you climb til you dont..
people seem to think rank is here to prove your worth and that is what riots wants you to believe...
however rank is to put players of similar skill levels vs each other... to keep you playing and becoming addicted to the game therefore buying champs/skins merch watch their pro scene for ad $ and so on... the longer you stay and play the more they make.
so if they put bronze players vs diamond players the bronze players lose get stomped find the game unfun and frustrating and quit... the diamond players get bored cuz there is no challenge
so they make it where you can strive to be better and get "rewards " for doing so but if you lost to much you become and have the game be challenging so you constantly strive to be better therefore play longer.

Was about to make this comment before reading this. I do recall how specific bans use to be in the past, but that was a long time ago. Bigger community demands an unfortunately more generalized list of penalties. I would very much love it if they brought this back at least. Though not as often as I use to, I'd run into a lot of people during my climb from Bronze who'd admit to deliberately acting poorly by either toxic behavior or trolling, due to it being ranked, so as to enhance the impact on the player's they're harassing.
Troll for Trump1 votesWhat that did was basically move all the toxic players in ranked to norms.
Specifically, norm draft mode.
Asudurga1 votesTo add some leeway how about they have to play or win a certain amount of SR normals without AFKing before they are allowed to play ranked again? Any AFK during those would reset the amount.
