What do the comments say: Many comments under the Reddit post agree with Tyler1 and discuss a major core issue of League of Legends. They argue that it is not the toxicity or balance issues that cause many players to leave LoL, but the lack of consequences for griefers and players who want to ruin others’ matches.
Surveyorman writes: I don’t care about being yelled at in the chat. What really angers me is wasting over 20 minutes just because someone who says nothing in the chat is griefing.
Other users criticize Tyler1 and believe that Riot should never have lifted his ban.
PankoKing: I mean, he will continue to behave this way. None of his consequences seem to really concern him.
Not only is toxicity a major problem in League of Legends, but also beginner-friendliness. With a revision of the “Coop vs. AI” mode, Riot aims to create an easier way to learn the game.
