Idea that could potentially sweep swathes of toxicity away.

What if after a game where you receive 4 or more reports, you are made to wait one hour until playing again. not a one hour queue mind you, just one hour where you can't play league. It shouldn't account for an actual punishment either, if such a thing is needed, but rather it would act as an immediate recompense for the actions of an individual that would likely help them understand a few things. being able to look back at one game immediately after, and think about it, could help people that have merely lost their way, and needing to wait an hour before playing another match would probably help players that are merely tilting to take a second to breath after the game.

of course there are issues that this idea has in of itself, like how abusable it would become, but It would likely improve the overall player experience by making toxic players immediately face some punishment for their actions.

This wouldnt work mainly because this would give power towards people in groups. Plus it would go against the whole "One report is equal to X-amounts of reports" despite some people not believing that, but like i said something like this wouldn't work because people would just spam reports and if you are in a group would give them too much power and basically be the decider of who gets to play.

I don't know about making players wait an hour to play, but it might be nice if players could see how many reports and what type they receive. Right now the system just sort of sweeps it under the rug until a player gets punished which is... kind of late to be informing players that may have been racking up reports.

Highly abusable. I wouldn't want that feature in my games.

Not likely. When I used to play League with some frequency (Seasons 2/3) I'd have two accounts running in case I racked up some nasty dodge penalties on the primary and didnt want to wait it out.

Forcing players who are already comfortable with abandoning their accounts for the sake of their behavioral issues to simply start up other ones probably isn't going to do much

Sounds great. I have a few friends who would love to queue up with me and ruin other players' nights by preventing them from playing League for an hour by abusing this brilliant innovation. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

That's a bad idea! I could start up a clan with my friends and file false report on him and this guy has to wait. It's best to just give it to those who d/c whether or not it was intentional, bad connections, or computer issues.

just one hour where you can't play league. It shouldn't account for an actual punishment either, if such a thing is needed, but rather it would act as an immediate recompense for the actions of an individual that would likely help them understand a few things.

You are just banned for certain period of time that's about it not a perfect rule anything else can be easily abused,

being able to look back at one game immediately after, and think about it, could help people that have merely lost their way, and needing to wait an hour before playing another match would probably help players that are merely tilting to take a second to breath after the game.

It really doesn't matter anyway LoL has a huge community followings no point there will be new users going to repeat the same old process again. The best idea is just this community where we could discuss, create a sticky more like the community / game principles, and explain users why they get this and that and how to properly defend themselves if it ever becomes a false positive.

{quoted} of course there are issues that this idea has in of itself, like how abusable it would become, but It would likely improve the overall player experience by making toxic players immediately face some punishment for their actions.

You wouldn't be making toxic players immediately face punishment, you'd be making reported players immediately face punishment.

Sorry if you don't understand the difference.

Most toxic players are either 1) account hopping as they keep getting banned for being stupid in chat, or 2) using actions instead of words to troll and be toxic, which seems to fly under the radar most of the time
