The banning system is a complete joke.

This games punishment is actually garbage. It's pathetic how my 1/12 ekko wont be banned for int feeding, or how my 2/10 ekko the game before wont be banned for being toxic etc. This game is a joke when it comes to punishing toxic, and just terrible players. Also, when it comes down to the ban, it's almost always given for the wrong reason?? If someone is toxic in "CHAT" they will be banned from the "game". Yet someone who completely ruins the game for others, will receive the same punishment. It's honestly a joke.

P.S. I wasn't the one flamming just letting people know the ban system doesn't do enough.

Consistent and/or extreme chat toxicity ruins the game for players, too. That's why they report you for it. It takes a lot of negative chat to work up to an account ban, so you've got plenty of opportunity to improve your behavior before you lose your account, while gameplay offenses don't get chat restrictions; they skip right to a ban (so it's actually not the same punishment).

If you want to discuss a punishment for chat offenses I recommend posting the logs.

Do you know if riot, in the near future, is actually going to improve how quickly and consistently toxic players get punished, and giving players feedback that the toxic person they reported got punished? I see TONS of toxicity, usually not very severe, but lots of it. I on average probably report 1 toxic player every 3 games in draft. When I played my placements I had a toxic player in every game, literally. When we won it wasn't persistent as even the toxic players focused on winning, but there was always someone saying something like "your bad" or "wtf X omfg this fuck*ing team. wow" It really feels like the toxic players aren't deterred from being toxic, and I almost never get the notice saying they got punished, unless they inted lots.

Most people aren't very toxic, and barely speak at all really. But when someone does have a bad day or several people are just being a little too negative at once, it makes the whole match feel rotten, and it's easier to remember a bad experience over a good one; negativity bias just makes it feel like there's a lot more toxicity than there really is. It's hard to deescalate a situation sometimes, but if you mute and don't engage them it should help a lot.

Riot has mentioned some plans for their behavior systems regarding the Honor system (which may help some), but there's not really any word on the other systems at this time. Most of this stuff will likely come after the client update is done.

It would be overdue. And I agree that most people aren't toxic. I have met some very nice people on league. I am aware of negativity bias and have actually made a point of methodologically remembering what I saw for a period of time. 1 player out of 30 ppl (over 3 games) isn't that much; it however has been fairly consistent in my bronze elo. I rarely go more then 6 games without seeing something toxic. I do mute them and it does help a lot, but there genuinely is rampant toxicity at certain elos or times in this game.

Damn Draven in a normal game, another where i faced a challenger jayce main, dont believe me op.gg him. The others I just played bad, but I remain positive to the team verses flaming.

EunsonMar 17, 20171 votes

Didn't realise trolling a normal game didn't waste time for 9 others trying to have fun...

PaquayMar 17, 20171 votes

Normal or not... I could take a potato against C9 and have it killed less times than you on Draven. I bet there's trolls that have run it down mid all game and died less than that. :/

To bad I was in a 5 man team, and everyone in the game was having a lot of fun. You sound dumb lol.

I wouldn't even bother making this point here if I were you. The majority of people here believe that calling a feeder "bad" is a much worse offense than the feeder being 0/20.

So true. Fits in with Riots "it's worse to call a troll out than to actually troll" policy.

Isn't it fair to say that making a commotion about a feeder/troll pointless and often distracting so Really they're both equally bad and so equally reported/punished however chat is alot easier to see than feeding(bad games)

KVbqbFsC8eMar 16, 20171 votes

They are in absolutely no way, shape, or form "equally bad". If someone is truly so upset over someone being "toxic" towards a feeder/troll, they can simply mute them and be on their way. If someone has a feeder or troll on their team, there is virtually nothing they can do about it, and they are punished with LP loss for it.

Great MutaMar 15, 20171 votes

Agreed.

As I've always said, it is more dangerous to be the person reacting to the troll than to actually be the one trolling. You can't prove the person was trolling because that would require watching the game and no Rioter has time for that. But they can prove you said everything you said because it is written in the chat log and that only takes a minute to go through.
