Nothing feels worse than getting punished for raging at a griefer/inter

I understand we shouldn't be mean to players who are having a bad game. I'm not talking about those players. I'm talking about the players that get a kick out of ruining games for the entire team.

I've been chat restricted multiple times for getting angry at someone who is LITERALLY inting (0-14, etc) or trying to steal (last hit) a jungle camp from me.

We need a better system for banning toxic people that includes context. CONTEXT MATTERS. If someone is inting and your team wont /ff, you are forced to play a 40 minute losing game unless you want to be punished for being AFK. Being trolled for 40 min feels terrible and people with short tempers will end up reacting.

I am all for actual toxic players being banned, but people reacting to trolls/inters should be punished less severely.

You realize trolls do what they do for those exact reactions, right? You reward their behavior and embolden them to continue trolling by raging at them. Please stop doing that.

then again you're breaking one of the main rules of the internet:

never feed the trolls, they live to elicit a reaction. if they're inting but no one notices they just look stupid.

Actually, what feels worse is being one of the other 8 people in the game and having to listen to two other people sling feces at each other in some strange display of dominance when all I want to do is play the goddamn game.

You realize that's why the rules say "Don't flame the flamers," right? You aren't the only person in the game.

If it feels bad, don't do it.

If you keep getting punished for breaking the rules, the solution isn't to change the rules to fit your behavior; it's to change your behavior to fit the rules.

Riot has made it clear that toxicity of ANY kind will not be tolerated. It doesn't really matter if they are a troll, telling someone to kill themselves or whatnot is still wrong. If they are being toxic, mute them and move on. If you respond to toxicity with toxicity, you are part of the problem.

Context DOES matter. Riot gave up on it years ago when they automated the report process. Don't expect them to do anything about a couple hundred cases because that doesn't affect their bottom line at all. They're a company and as such profit is their number one priority. Why would they spend tens of thousands of dollars fixing their system when they could just keep the money and lose the couple hundred players?

I bet that does feel bad. Probably makes you feel stupid. You fed a troll AND got punished lol. Glad I've never done that.
