I'm so sick and tired of reporting toxic players only to end up in the same game as them 10 seconds after the previous one ended. There really needs to be something implemented to stop players from being able to queue together after reporting one another - if nothing less for at least 24hours.
Awkward Couch3 votesNext time you play with a toxic player, wait like 5 minutes. It doesn't take long, you can clear your head from that awful person you had last game, and you can go use the restroom without being AFK for the first 10 minutes of the game. If you really don't want to ever hear from them again, put that player on your blocked list.
RiotRiot Whiskies6 votesIf you're like me, you're pretty unsettled after having reported someone. It just leaves a bad taste yanno? And honestly, it usually means that I myself am more likely to be sour in the next match: I'll be quicker to get offended over comments that just aren't worth it, I'm likelier to get defensive and snarky, I have less tolerance for poor performance, etc. So just give yourself a few minutes to cool off and recover from that poor experience with the toxic player.
I don't know why our buddy Awkward Couch is in the bathroom for 10 min -- bahaha jkjk ;D -- but yeah, stepping away from the game is a great idea. Go grab a snack, belt out your favorite tune, do some jumping jacks [exercise is good for you. I hear.].
Awkward Couch1 votesWell there is a Taco Bell 2 blocks away from my apartment. And you have to wash your hands. XD
But I think taking a break after a bad game/dealing with a toxic player is what has helped me out the most.
Awkward Couch1 votesHey GRRRLEE, totally unrelated question to the original post, are you guys gonna do something with the honor banner system? I mean I had one for like a year before I lost it, and it was kind of underwhelming. If you can't comment on it I understand, just thought I'd ask. XD
Troll for Trump1 votesDo Rioters also like to eat popcorn while reading over the "player behavior and moderation" threads? Or is it to see whether or not your system works.
Stand Alone Wolf1 votesNo, I highly agree with this discussion. I have been trying my hardest to snag as much IP as I possibly could on my new account, & encountered a toxic Ezreal player a total of four games! Not only did I submit a ticket for the four reports I received for nothing (He literally said he was going to report me in every match but the last since he was on the enemy team, but I know he did) He submitted them out of sheer anger that I had a bad match, & repeatedly told me to "Enjoy my suspension. I'm going to be giving that new account a break, but I'd hope something get's done about it. There is no reason I should be put in the same lobby as someone I've reported back four times! He literally tells me my second game with him that he's glad to report me again, & I'm just like "For?" then proceeds to telling me to keep talking. I'd like to go into Riot's office, & just slam a week ban on this guy. I was even honored, & what not in a few matches for being who I am. Friendly! This community is slowly making a turn for the worse, & I've told the guy that his reports mean nothing if they are false, & he's likely to be suspended for reporting me without actual reason. Please do something about this Riot.
D rok2 votesI've never had a problem with this. I find most toxicity tends to fall apart after a game's done. It takes a while for it to ramp back up, and if you KNOW someone has a tendency to be toxic, muting them pre-emptively is a lot easier. I get that this is aimed at like bronze-plat elo. But at high levels of play, this sort of thing would make queue times even longer than they already are.
ThatH1N12 votesI find grinding ranked over and over is just bad in general. Taking a 5-10 minute break in between games can help clear your head for the next game especially if you just lost or came in contact with a nasty player. Mainly I think it is important because you can take that time and think about what you did that was good/bad in that last game and make a point of it to help you improve yourself. The more you improve the higher you climb and from what I have seen from high level players streams challenjour is not very toxic.

I keep reading this. I do not see it happening. I've yet to complete ten games to be positioned in ranked. But every game I played, the worse it got. At this rate, I do not see things getting better when I'm in silver, gold, or whatever else comes. It was like this in WoW as well. The closer I got to max level, the worse player reactions became, the less they communicated, the more greedy they became, etc., etc.
I doubt it will be any better in League. In other games, bad behavior would get you shunned and no one would play with you. In League, the least that could happen is your communication is blocked. The most is that no one picks you to be on their teams. But that doesn't stop you from playing.
