[Suggestion] Really Punishing Toxic Players

Squeekems·Nov 17, 2015·2 votes·729 views

In a game that is free to play, what does banning a player temporarily really do? If the banned player still wants to play your game, they can. They create smurf accounts and continue their bad behavior with new players. It forces your new players to play with them.

If you are going to take time from players, instead of banning their main account, you should take things they have achieved back. Take things they have earned with Influence Points or time-Input. It could be runes, rune pages, champions, levels, icons, or skins.

I, myself, would be quick to use the ignore feature, rather than fighting with another player, knowing that the time I have put into my account could be undone.

Banning is lazy way to say you are handling the problem.

They could ban your IP address, but people know how to get passed that as well as it will become annoying for siblings.. xD

Altough i get where you're coming from, if this was implemented, id fear for my account...the reporting program is nowhere near perfect enough and innocent players get punished (although not so frequent) for having a bad day or something like that already...imagine how that would be if you just have a bad day and you lose a skin just because another player is so butthurt and salty that they report you....i get what you say but i think this is a very bad idea...

I got banned for 2 weeks for defending myself against someone who was a straight up asshole. Only came onto League to shit on other people. I talked down about their character as person and whatnot and was deserving of a ban based on Riot's justice system. During those 2 weeks, I played on a smurf account acting as I was treated for the game I was banned for. That smurf account was never banned and I got a number of players to tell me they are moving away from playing League of Legends because of me and what the community appeared to be like based on my actions. Since I have my main account back, I mute people immediately when I have a disagreement with them.
