I don't feel like Riot does their part; Extreme toxicity regularly.

Thread Summary: I see toxicity in half of my games, frequently report, and rarely see a punishment. Yet, we are told to let RIOT deal with it, which it seems they don't.

Currently a low gold player, to give you some background. And, currently in good standing with my behavior.

Last game I played, had a jungler gank top. 2v2, we won, and I barely died. He lived. The wave was in a good position, so i asked him not to shove, and then he started shoving, and I pinged him away. For this, he decided to take 3 waves from me. So I went to his jg to try and get a camp. You know, since I too, am trying to get items. So he goes around and follows me for a bit wherever I go trying to deny me gold. He proceeds to call me trash and tell all chat that I'm griefing and should be reported, AT LEAST 10 times.

My response? I didn't say a word until he started talking in all chat, at which point I said it's not true and i was simply being flamed.

He said he's going to get me banned because he has a Rioter on his list. he told everyone to 9x me.

So I report him with a DETAILED explanation, like always, of what happens.

The issue is that this stuff happens in my games at least every other game, and I maybe see that someone has been disciplined every 50 games I play. I really don't feel like Riot keeps their end of the bargain in regards to disciplining players.

What more do you want them to do, then? This is behavior that is regularly punished, though not after one game. I suppose they could ditch the automated system and hire a fuckload of people to review reports, but then they'd probably end up with a backlog of reports.

Also, you don't get notified every time someone you reported gets punished.

Look at the size of the player base and then the number of new faces you see every game. In what realistic world do you expect to see the results of the 1 or 2 reports you submit every other game in a short span of time? Even IF Riot made the system more strict and more bans and punishments went out, people would just create new accounts more often than they already do. Do you know how many people get on here talking about how many accounts they've had banned?

Let's have you understand the behavioral system a bit more. Think of it like a health bar (or tension meter) in music games. When you hit the note at an off beat, your tension meter increases. When you completely miss a note, the meter increases by alot. When you hit the note at perfect timings, it reduces the meter.

Riot's behavior system works the same way, as in we all have a toxicity meter attached to our accounts. When players are mildly toxic, it goes up a tad. When people use hate speech, it pretty much fills up the meter.

Asking for reports is on the lowest severity on toxicity scale. So it'll take many many MANY games before someone will get punished.

You'll get a punishment notification if the game you reported someone in shows up in their reform card, and the reform card only shows the player 1-5 recent games as examples of unacceptable behavior, if the game you reported them in was not within those 5 games, you would never know they got punished.

The verbal part of the behavioral system actually does a pretty good job in punishing the toxics. It just does a horrible job in letting you know about it.

Monthly Report Cards was a pretty cool community concept, Riot Tantram has since come on to say that they are working on something more compelling than monthly report cards.

On the side, don't worry about getting reported alone. All a report does is to trigger the system to review the game. If there was no toxicity, your toxicity meter will not go up.

Even if there was toxicity, 9 reports does the same thing as 1 report, as the system returns the same answer and will not further accelerate the punishment. If you ask 1 or 9 person within the same room on whether the lights are turned on, the answer is the same. The light doesn't become brighter because 9 people said the lights are on.
