Age Gate PLEASE!

Toxic players is a problem and reporting alone isn't enough to fix it. There needs to be a way for a player to OPT OUT of games that include players under a certain age. Lets say 25 - I would rather wait for a queue with people I know aren't snotty 13 year old assholes than lose again and again because my team gets tilted because one guy is flaming for everything. I just want civility damnit.

The mute button helps but not everybody uses it. This wouldn't be a cure all because i'm well aware older players can be just as dick-ish as younger ones but I feel that I have fewer flame issues with older players. I also notice that the number of toxic players goes up in the summer months and around christmas. I am tired of being called a '%%%% %%%' because my play/champion select didn't live up to whatever idea the flamer had on how I or another one of my teammates should play. I don't mind losing (nobody likes it) it's part of the game, but i'd rather not also have to put up with adolescent temper tantrums for my trouble.

I realize that it isn't easy to confirm someone's age but there has to be a way - maybe a verification service that can only be paid with a credit card that costs 1 dollar. That would only get us up to age 18 but it's a start. Riot pls.

PS - if we can't get an age gate can we get a shock collar? we could all vote to see if we should shock player x.

That isn't the point - i'm not an expert on what would have to happen to make this work. I am commenting that it's worth doing if it's possible and exploring that idea.

There is an age gate its 13 with parental permission. 18 without. But considering how well 18 and up games do in the us id be shocked if lol survived 1 day of 25+

I'm not suggesting that players younger than 25 can't be allowed to play. I'm saying in ranked games I should be able to opt out of playing with them. Because young kids flame relentlessly unless everything is going their way. And I realize that adults are guilty of this as well but there is less occurrences because their brains are more developed in the impulse control regions (on average). So maybe less needless flaming and less shooting yourself in the foot by tilting your own team over and over.

they have child credit cards here... for kids 8 to 16 y.o. so ok. xD

This may not be the answer to this particular problem. It was just an idea - do you have one? if so feel free to share it.

I did share it, but then half the community called me a Nazi, even if a minority saw it as a great idea...
