DOTA is less toxic and punishes far more leniently

Wake up Riot, slaughtering your playerbase instantaneously is not making the community any better. As punishments have ramped up over the years I have seen absolutely no decrease in toxicity. If anything it's gotten worse as people spam ? and clever phrases to bait players into an argument to get them banned without tricking the dumb chat robot themselves. You're literally incentivizing people to start shit in chat. Just copy DOTA, Valve is smarter than you, your systems suck.

I've had the opposite experience with their game personally. As a new player I experienced some next level elitism. I also find it unfavorable how they handle their reports. Someone can be placed in low-priority queue just from being reported a lot, the legitimacy of those reports are not checked in any fashion.

Well, go to DotA. No one is keeping you here. We're fine with what Riot is doing to Toxic players. We ban those players so they can go to DotA, not to play this game.

If you were smart, you wouldn't have even thought of coming onto this board looking silly and went to play DotA.

Buh bye.

Behavior is not a symptom of the punishments, but rather a symptom of the game design as a whole.

Not true, DOTA 2 is a cess pool of toxicity with no role selection, constant arguing and getting Restrictions for playing poorly when someone forces you into a role and you do bad, even if you don't do bad getting spam reported = restrictions.

Also, while I never said he has broken the rules or been punished, the OP has stated multiple times that his main (season 1) account has been banned.

How is this post getting downvoted? It offers truth and suggestions for improvement. I guess the self-appointed bodyguards of Riot's witch-hunt report system outnumber normal intelligent people.
