Getting the chat restrictions reset on the last patch was a great move by riot, which gave me a strong incentive to clean up my behavior. whereas before i had so many restrictions the end to chat restrictions was not really in sight. Now i have gratitude to riot and a desire to not lose my chat and these two factors are really helping me keep it civil on the rift.
There is a a very big problem in solo Q and its Troll picking. I just had a game where i was first round pick called mid took an ap carry, and a second round player troll picked Ahri.. someone dodged the game but this kind of behavior should be severely punished by riot in my opinion. first of all riot could add a post lobby report option, that way people can report trolls even if the game is dodged. i took a screen shot of the troll pick and would like to send it to riot if you guys are interested in looking into this please email me. would love for riot to add an in game feature to report once a lobby has been created and for riot to crackdown on people who troll pick. people who do this are basically throwing the game if not allowed to abuse pick order. even worse is that i had already locked in my pick and top was taken so there was no viable way for me to play my ap carry once he locks in ahri and top is taken so its basically an inevitable loss before both teams are even locked in! this specific troll i mentioned even said that he had 0 league points so he had absolutely nothing to lose from abusing his team... please punish this sort of behavior, its a big problem.
