Is it time for riot to take more drastic measures for trolling/toxicity?

i feel like it might be time for riot to take a few risks and be willing to sacrifice a few innocent players for the greater good. trolls are out of control and so far, everything riot has done has just made it easier to ruin games.

You'll find out that "toxicity" will never get any better until they actual address trolling.

We gonna nuke, North Korea to Remove trolling from the League community now? Let riot show us their true nature

But yeah as someone said earlier suggestions? the 4 punishment tier is fairly effective don't suggest ip bans- it never works in theory don't suggest comp bans- doesn't work in theroy

it doesn't remove the problem, merely let the problem stay longer, as that solution entails is banning ips/comps which does generally more harm than good, banning a college ip for example would ban thousands of users depending on school, just to punish 1 user banning a comp, could ban many users if the comp is shared among users such as family ban 1 sibling not all 3.

it's not an IP ban, just an install ban. re downloading the client would erase it. you just have to wait a few hours

Okay 3 people share a computer you ban 1 person for xyz reasons now the computer is locked from league of legends the remaining 2 can no longer play league either as a side effect of this you've now banned 3 users for the actions of 1 user. GG

In addition I can have the entire client backed up on a thumb drive, and reinstalled in under 15 mins so the solution of forcing a reinstall is also not viable as was mentioned in that post

Player 2 and 3 can still play league. However they will unfortunately have to re download. And can impose whatever consequences for the inconvenience on player 1. And it's not meant to be a magic bullet. And in the long run will benefit more players then it screws over. Since getting 14 dayed or permabanned now means you have to reinstall your client. And even if it only takes 15 minutes. That's still 15 minutes a confirmed negative player isn’t playing league

Again, the problem lies in you're punishing players that did nothing wrong.

it's not like they are losing their accounts, and i feel like for every neutral or positive player this affects, 1000 toxics will now have to wait longer to ruin a game
