League of Legends is known for causing some outbursts of anger. Often, this anger is unleashed in the chat, and other players are insulted and verbally abused. To encourage players who misbehave to change their behavior, Riot is now introducing a feedback system.
Behavior Confronted Head-On
The game developer assumes that players who are confronted with their bad behavior immediately after a game will change their attitude towards others. How will this work? In an initial test phase, European players will continue to report other players for negative behavior as usual. A few of these cases will be manually assessed, while others will be automatically evaluated. If successful, the feedback system will automatically identify abusive LoL players in the future and ban them for up to 2 weeks.
Your reports help the system understand the immediate feedback and punish the type of verbal harassment that the community actively rejects: homophobia, racism, sexism, death threats, and other forms of severe insults.
Rewards for Feedback
Players who consistently behave positively gain more trust from Riot. These players can also report teammates who are allegedly intentionally feeding the opposing team – a often subjective assessment. You can find all the changes in detail on the official League of Legends Blog .
Will Riot finally be able to gain control over the LoL community that is often labeled as “toxic” with this system?
