I started writing this right after i was forced to dodge a game from champ select, when my jungler said "double top", picked ign flash, followed by my support yuumi saying "ok i go jg", picking smite, after which my adc said "i go troll", while picking smite ign. Why should i have to dodge and wait 5 minutes because 3 premades decided they would screw a game?
This would have been a normal game, but even so, why is riot allowing this?
For the amount of money Riot makes they could definitely have more humans looking at the troll issue.
Yeah Riot doesn't support that at all. It's just that they can't have a human system to look for trolls all the time, which is why there is Riot support, the ticket system, and the report system. No computer system can be accurate enough to detect all trolling, There was a more human system years ago, the Tribunal, where players would go to review reports and such...and issue their vote on whether a person deserved to be punished. Even with free help from players, not enough people were using the system, and the Tribunal was always extremely backed up. People would get banned many months after their toxic games.
As for harder punishment, if they are caught enough times they are getting a perma ban, what can Riot do to punish people harder than that?
As for why you should "have" to dodge and wait 5 minutes, you shouldn't "have" to, but you definitely should want to. Unfortunately, pretty much everyone on the ladder is subject to those kinds of players, across all rankings. You dodge to protect your MMR, so that you can keep climbing. It's pretty much the same thing as muting people in game. You lose chat with your teammates, potentially you mute their pings, you're giving up on information in the hopes that their toxicity won't ruin your game...just like you'd dodge for the same reason.

How blatant can it possibly be if they aren't getting enough reports to be punished?
Also, people "can" get away with it for that long now, but back then they would almost always get away with it for that long. The tickets would just keep getting backed up, a human system is just bad, there's way too many people to moderate. Nowadays, it's unlikely people go unpunished. Heck, when I got my permaban, I'm pretty sure my game closed out immediately after my match ended...or not long after. Most of the time when I report a toxic player, I get a message about it a day or two later. I much rather have this system, rather than it taking 3 months for ANYONE to get punished.
A Support Zed with 6 Doran Shields, spamming /joke, and avoiding fights. This player and their duo did this for over two months and 250+ Ranked matches before getting banned.
Now tell me with a straight face that in a 2 month span, they did not get mass reported by around 2000 players.
They don't fucking care really.
Riot isn't allowing "this". Just read Player Behavior, we have toxic and trolls getting banned everyday.
Riot should ban trolls, not ignore them. There are tons of players that are deliberate trolls that hide it behind "bad games" or whatever else. However, when you openly show that you are trolling the game in chat, there is no excuse. And yet, this is still not punished.
The problem is that too many people want to defend trolls and say that they should be allowed to continue existing because it might just be "a bad game." Thing is... bad games happen and blatant trolling is blatant.
It is the single biggest problem with the game.
