League of Legends players are calling for quick changes to Riot Games’ new anti-toxicity initiative, just days after its implementation. The initiative, aimed at curbing toxic behavior in ranked play, requires repeat offenders to complete remedial non-ranked matches before they can return. However, players are now complaining that this has made casual game modes unbearable, as penalized players take out their frustrations on others. Suggestions for improvement include removing the feature, creating a separate queue for penalized players, or implementing bans.
| Date | Score | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Sept. 28 | League Patch 13.19 | Ranked player penalties implemented |
Riot Games’ latest attempt to address toxicity in League of Legends has backfired, with players expressing their dissatisfaction with the new system. The initiative, which forces penalized players to play non-ranked matches, has resulted in an increase in toxic behavior in casual game modes such as ARAM and normal Summoner’s Rift. These modes were previously seen as a place to relax and have fun, but now they have become plagued by tilted and frustrated players.
Players are divided on how Riot should address this issue. Some suggest removing the feature altogether, while others propose creating a separate queue for penalized players. Bans have also been suggested as a potential solution. The main concern is that the current system is negatively impacting the experience of non-penalized players, who are now forced to deal with toxic behavior in previously enjoyable game modes.
In addition to the anti-toxicity initiative, Riot Games has made other changes to combat toxicity, such as altering pings and introducing chat disable features. However, these measures have also been met with annoyance from players. It remains to be seen how Riot will respond to the growing demands for changes to their anti-toxicity initiatives.
