Riot has implemented a penalty for toxic players in League of Legends. However, this causes these players to vent their frustration in ARAMs. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.
With Patch 13.19, Riot introduced a significant change to the ranked mode. Toxic players who behave particularly poorly will be penalized, temporarily excluding them from ranked matches. To participate again in ranked play, they must complete a specified number of normal matches, ARAMs or rotating game modes such as URF.
However, ARAMs are apparently being flooded by some toxic players who are now venting their frustration there. Players are upset and demand that toxic players leave ARAM alone

Toxic players do not make an effort in ARAM, just to quickly return to ranked play
What do the players say? The current penalty for toxic behavior states that players who stand out negatively in ranked mode will be banned for five games. During this time, it seems that some players choose to use ARAM as a speedrun – to get back into ranked matches as quickly as possible.
ARAM players are frustrated with some toxic players because they do not make an effort. The player LittleMacAteBigMac emphasizes on Reddit that already after one day his chat window is filled with messages urging players to finish the game quickly. Some even go so far as to play without items or with strange item combinations – just to end the game as quickly as possible.
He also writes:
[…] It bothers me because ARAM is significantly less toxic than Summoner’s Rift and for some people it’s the ideal way to play League. Now it’s a great opportunity for toxic types to relieve stress […] without fear that their rank will be punished. […] Leave ARAM alone.[…]

Other players are also increasingly frustrated and express their dissatisfaction on Reddit, while simultaneously suggesting possible solutions:

No idea why they set it to 5 games instead of 3 wins, everyone could see it coming that people would just try to lose as quickly as possible.
- bearingtoon12 suggests:
The fact that they pair the unruly players in the queue with the rest of the players for normals and ARAMs is absolutely crazy. Put them all in one lobby against each other.
- DazeandConfusedTuna is fed up and writes:
This is the only way I still play League, and honestly, I don’t plan to return as long as they don’t change this penalty to something else. The reason I still play ARAM is due to the low toxicity, so I’m really not pleased that Riot is ruining my gaming experience.
Overall, the dissatisfaction in the League of Legends community regarding the current changes in the ranked system and their impact on ARAM games is clearly palpable. Players yearn for a pleasant and fair gaming experience.
Now it is up to Riot to take the feedback and concerns of the players seriously and possibly make further adjustments to the ranked system.
