ATTENTION RIOT: Big problem with the feedback system

BluRaay··3 votes·618 views

So my main recently got banned bc of a troll Shaco that decided to go into a ranked game and not say a word, however he would follow me around the jungle last hitting the jungle monster I was fighting (and yes he had smite also). I offered to go support and when I did he also followed me bottom. Everywhere i went he decided to just go and troll without saying a word. I repeatedly asked my team to report Shaco and instead Shaco reports me and my main gets banned. Because I was getting trolled my farm and level suffered and my team got slaughtered and since Shaco can evade like no other (except maybe LB) his kd ratio was about even. Why is this allowed? Why did I get banned when i was the victim and my play suffered bc of this troll Shaco's play? My point is the feedback system literally doesn't catch you if you a) don't speak and b) don't intentionally feed. If you just do random things in game that are extremely frowned upon nothing bad will happen to you, and what's worse is that the person who is getting trolled will probably say something out of frustration and get banned. Something has to be done bc this is a pretty big oversight in terms of how the current feedback system "catches" who is actually trolling or being toxic.

sigh. we've said it before, and we'll say it again:

  1. accounts are NEVER (rarely?) banned due to 1 incident. It has to be a continuing pattern of behavior.

  2. prior to an actual ban, a team of riot scientist go over ever minute detail of your League Life in order to make an objectively based assessment as to whether or not the ban is truly deserved.

he would follow me around the jungle last hitting the jungle monster I was fighting (and yes he had smite also).

sounds like he had it half right, in terms of not saying a word.

...in all seriousness though, you're right, however your conclusion, that the entire system needs to go, because it's imperfect is a little silly. At this point, I'm happy whatever little bit riot is doing in this regard.

I think while it is frustrating to see the troll evolve in this manner, I think on the other hand it's a good thing since it shows that they are feeling some pressure in regards to their behavior.

Normal story. Maybe banning is a way that Riot finds only those players willing to beg to pay their game? I have quit playing for several months twice already because of false reports. Don't be heart broken because they don't want your money. I am happy playing for free for the short time available before the next unwarranted warning of suspension. I actually have to stop myself from buying rp because there is no guarantee that I will be able to play tomorrow.

In their effort to clean up the community they are just blanketing the community with bans simply based off the chat log and not the issue itself. Investigating every single game would obviously take too long so instead they trigger keyword chat programs that basically automatically suspend you if you say x, y, and z coupled with enough people reporting you. It has nothing to do with what occurred whatsoever just what was said. What's not being understood is that this is a form of online bullying being encouraged by Riot. When multiple people are encouraging or aiding in the trolls behavior while one person is just tilted and now getting bullied by everyone else in the game is not acceptable (what's worse is that person who is getting bullied is the one who typically is getting the ban if the trolls don't actually say anything except light hearted comments). The person getting trolled will get frustrated and say something this is inevitable especially for someone who is competitive. Frankly, I spent probably over $400 on my main that was banned, maybe even more because I enjoyed trading mystery skins with others and getting banned bc I got trolled by someone else isn't right. Frankly the fact that Riot is indirectly supporting this form of online bullying is very counter intuitive to what they are trying to accomplish.

Welcome to riots failure of a system. No matter what you put in the report box, a riot employee will not read it unless the chat itself triggers it to be looked at. For a person as you described to not say a word, riot will NEVER look at his account, never see his trolling, and even if you report him as intentional feeding via stealing your farm, riot will do nothing about it.
