Player behavior is, for me, one of the most interesting aspects when it comes to the LOL community. As I've never ever played online games before, the in-game chat of League of Legends was something of a culture shock to me, especially when I saw how casually people flung abuse at each other like it was nothing. For over a year now I've looked to find the right way dealing with being verbally abused while trying to be positive during game, or at the very least neutral.

Lyte's new system seems to have helped a great deal with toxicity, and, in my subjective opinion, LOL in-game has become a much nicer place to spend your time at. Yet Player Behavior continues to be a relevant topic among the community.

This is why I propose a Player Behavior board, to discuss such topics as

  • How should I behave in-game? Should I stay neutral, or should I try to inject positivity into the game? Can I carry the game emotionally if not by how I play?
  • Purpose and uses of the in-game chat
  • Honor initiatives
  • Chat Restrictions, bans, both perma and temporal
  • How do I correctly report? What is report weighing, how does it work, and what are it's good and bad points?

And many more!

So I would like to offer a heartfelt "rito plz" to the powers-that-be, together with this

TL;DR: Please give us a Player Behavior board.

I second this having a Player Behavior Board, and a Tribunal Ban Inquiry board is a good thing since Riot wants to use players as Lab rats for human behavior experiments.

Also I generally like the board skin better anyways.

+1, I still don't feel like my TB threads really belong in Champions & Gameplay.

I find it extremely disturbing that people report me for saying in mostly aram games Report the Afker or report the feeder...YOU let this auto report behavior take place in a system filled with griefers and trolls whom YOU allow to report me due to I am saying report the AFKERS...I say undo my punishment and fix your report system....Your own forums is filled with people that don't actually care for the game...They say its Just aram who cares if afk...yet report me in aram for saying report the afker...This must stop....I have both account named LordMalzahar and Com1c and both account are banned from chat cause of you automatically punishing people based on a vote count...This is also bias due to premade games where buddies will say Hey he wants to report 1 of our afker friends so lets all report him....Its true and must be taken into perspective...Am I supposed to be quiet and not say hey....we have a afker . Not everyone notices afkers and should be alerted...Make a in game afker Alert that we can use only if person is idle for 1 min or disconnects....that way both teams can know...I have played this game for many years like 4 years and I think you guys at riot are very unfair.
