Because by the numbers it makes more sense to exit a blown game than attempt to play from behind - something actively discouraged by the current meta. If you didn't lose 90% of games where the other team has a 2K gold lead, if turrets weren't made out of paper, if game duration wasn't getting pushed ever lower, if comebacks weren't rare, then it might make sense. For right now, though? It's pain for no reward. You get to play more if you get out of a behind game ASAP. For every two games that you have lost and get a successful FF@15, that's an additional game you're getting to play in the same amount of time than if you'd have stuck it out. Don't blame your team for coming to the conclusion supported by the facts.

>># Is Riot excusing abusive behavior? >We are not. ...you kinda are. Not gonna lie guys, it seems like you're going soft. There was a recent repeat of the "unban perma'd players for a second chance" experiment from a few years ago, I'm seeing PB&M posts about people getting permas reversed, and now ranked rewards are being okayed for people who can't keep their nastiness out of the chatbox. The answer to people upset about how they lost their rewards for tox is and always has been "your behavior was the cause, don't be toxic next time and you won't lose anything". That appears to be slowly changing. This might be a feel-good thing, but all you're going to do is get people to think they can get the same break next time around, and in a roundabout way, cause more tox. You might say this is a one time thing, but you also say permabans are permanent and never reversed unless placed in error...

No, just one of the high 90s percent of people who play this game and have managed to never be punished for anything.

I love this - my favorite birdy enters the modern era :D Two minor, *minor* nitpicks: One is the ice wall animation. Currently, it's a smooth melt out and really looks like how you'd expect rapidly melting ice to look. The new version kinda sits there for a bit, and then quickly jumps under the ground as the timeout ends - it's a bit jarring, and II wish the smooth fade was still there. Also more of a question - why does base Ani not have any falling ice on her ult now, but Blackfrost and Festival Queen do? As I understand it, this is a visual indication that the ult is at max size and is doing extra damage. That feedback is now gone.

>It doesn't matter if you flamed someone for the whole game, or if you just returned a snide comment to someone, you will get the same punishment if reported enough. Number of reports has no impact on anything. If you are reported once, your chat is checked. Anything beyond that has no effect. Even if it's the entire enemy team and everyone else on your team. 1 report == 9 reports. >The automated system has many flaws, of which being abusable and not giving equal punishment to crime.

Because their MMR puts them in your general league. Remember that "gold" isn't an MMR, it's a league, and that the two can be wildly different due to streaks and luck. This could be a player doing their placements, probably brought on by the season ending soon and they want to hit gold for max rewards.

It feels *miserable*. One comeback isn't worth nine hostage scenarios. Putting this another way, with an average game length of 27 minutes, if all of those lost games were FF'ed at 15, that's about 12 minutes saved each game. At playing ten lost games, that's **two hours** worth of time gained. That works out to almost five additional games you could play in the same amount of time as playing ten of the games you couldn't get an FF in. How do you think your performance would be if you could play ~45% more games in the same amount of time you spend on league?

Okay, I went into this post thinking it was going to be yet another person whining about how they got banned... but I think you have a point. I think that players should overall get fewer chances (and so, get to ruin fewer games before the banhammer falls), but having the first step on the ladder result in loss of rewards, *without even a warning popup*, strikes me as violation of the principle of least surprise. And that goes double given how little attention the summoner's code gets in onboarding. My dream system would be three strikes. * 1st time: A warning. Merely a warning, maybe demoting honor by one level. * 2nd time: Honor reset to zero + 25 game chat ban, combined with very clear and unambiguous notification that putting one toe out of line will result in account loss. Must be confirmed by typing the words "I understand" into a prompt, player must answer a short quiz on the summoner's code before being allowed to play again. * 3rd time: Banned, GTFO.

Interesting info - I need to add this to the chart! I've got a bit of a harebrained theory on how honor works now. At least, this is how I would set it up based on ease of programming. Tantram is either going to look at this and chuckle knowingly to himself, or wonder how I figured it out. Probably the first one :) ## Take this for the ass-pull that it is. --- Honor Theory There are four variables in play for honor: - An overall honor score that underpins your honor level (hidden, like how there's an MMR number that underpins your league). - Your honor gained per game, which is a function of how many honors you get, and the all-honor bonus. - A factor which goes up or down based on game length - A factor which the gains are multiplied by that represents your punishment history. Let's put some fake numbers to these to make this theory easier to talk about: * Honor score is divided into tiers of 1000. 0 to 1000 is honor level 1, 1001-2000 is honor level 2, and so forth. * Checkpoints are at every 250 points. 3250 is honor level 3, checkpoint 1, and so on. * Honor gains grow geometrically. 1 honor might be worth 10 points, 2 honors worth 20, 3 honors (which triggers the 'most honorable on team' graphic) worth 40, 4 honors worth 80. An extra 10 points is given if everybody in on your team honors someone. * Premade honors are worth zero. * The factor starts off at something like .5 (half awards) for a game that goes only 20 minutes, smoothly scaling up to 1.0 for average game length (around 30 minutes), and perhaps going up to 1.2 for extremely long games like 45 minutes. * No honor is gained if nobody picks you. So. Pretend that you're a fresh account on honor level 2. You have an honor score of 2000. If you pull no reports, it will take you about 25 games of average length, getting honored on each one, to hit the first checkpoint. About 100 games, getting honored on each one, to level up. This cap also explains a convenient way that honor gains are locked out if you hit zero - the "locked" represents the negative factor blocking your gains. Valid reports apply a negative factor to your gains. You're still getting them, but you're getting them slower. Punishments apply a large negative factor *AND* remove your honor points. # TL;DR: Honor MAY equal: (Honor from teammates) x (Length factor) x (Punishment factor) = Total game honor * Where honor from teammates is a whole number from 10 to 90 * Length factor is a decimal between 0.5 and 1.2, increasing as the game progresses. * Punishment factor is an decimal between 1 and 0, decreasing as you recieve valid reports. I think this is how it works because it mirrors systems that already exist in game, like damage scaling and MMR.

If you were assaulted verbally # There is no such thing as "self defense" from words on a screen. If someone annoys you, you mute them, you don't start with the BS flaming yourself, thereby giving the other 3 people on your team more tilt-bait and a second person to mute. Stop making excuses for having zero self control. If you can't exercise the bare minimum level of self-control necessary to not type certain things on a computer, go play another game.

You treat other people like shit, you get punished, harder and harder until you either stop treating other people like shit, or get banned.

>It sets an extremely low bar for people to report their allies, encouraging people to report teammates for literally anything at all. True, but given that bogus reports do literally nothing, what's the harm?

The problem is that you think its about offense rather than atmosphere and sportsmanship.

I got banned today too, and Thats how i found out about yours. If the ban sticks or turns perma, and riot doesn't fix it charge back riot (as a very last case scenario). Don't let the TOS fool you into thinking that they can get away with this shit there are consumer protection laws in place, and despite what trolls will say, you will get your money back. I think you're responding to the wrong person guy :) I would recommend against charging back, though. You *did* sign a legal agreement that lays out your access to the services, and any such charge back would be fraud.

And yet the extent of Riot's actions on the matter are killing the account. There isn't little effort put into keeping banned players off the platform, there is **zero**. I think the excuses why this isn't done amount to a lack of will to do so (banned players rebuying stuff = $$$) and a lack of creativity. No, you can't rely on IP addresses. But IP addresses, with an email, with a hardware hash, with play style (the kind that's already tracked to detect account sharing) is significantly more so. It doesn't need to be perfect. We can start with a bar so low an ant could limbo under it, rather than the **literal nothing** that exists today.

I question how low-population it would be. We could also frontload it - everyone with a punishment on record in the last year AND is under honor 2 gets automatically placed in this queue starting next season. >Such players should not have access to any form of ranked solo queue, or even non-premade normals. I'd be okay with a ranked ban, but premades only is probably a step too far. If someone is required to jump through that many hoops, just ban them and be done with it.

There is no way to tell the difference. This is a problem that will never be solved without telepathy, it is possible to induce a disconnect in about a bajillion ways, and most of them can be made to look like a problem outside of your control. If you're having crashes, fix your computer. If you have dodgy power, buy a UPS. If you can't do either of those things, team-based games where your presence is required for roughly half an hour may not be for you.
