TT players are really thin skinned, and fewer players + "not the real map" means any criticism or suggestions fester into the postgame room. I was a douche due to IRL stuff, but trust me when I say that, having played like 4000 TT games since LoL was released, TT players are and will forever be very fragile about being bad on a casual map.

You get points for not suggesting a gay poster was calling people faggots, but also an uncomfortable stare for using Just World Fallacy to make me into a frothing bigot to justify being banned after losing a loved one. Some people just take loss in the family hard.

For the record, I've never said anything bigoted in a MOBA, never told someone to kill themselves (I have depression FFS), not even using the classic "please uninstall". Any goon that's played with me can attest to me being a chill and helpful guy.

This is also a factor; remember that these were the dark times of Tribunal giving a bunch of IP for picking the "right" choice on reports (i.e the one everyone else picked [i.e punish]), unless you were a saint in the chatlog the interns who skimmed through each case had enough reasonable doubt to go along with the consensus.

The system was so infantile it couldn't give you the chat logs, it also had a great feedback system when it would become infinitely more sensitive after your first ban. I got banned almost immediately after my 2 week ban expiring several times. Once I got a new account I've literally never had another problem

You still had to do some really heinous poo poo to get perma'd back in the day. I remember one goon a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago made some kinda team using a homophobic slur in the name, told Pendragon at the time he was being discriminatory towards homosexuals, then Pendragon laid out logs and the bazillion reports he got then changed the name and perma'd the guy. Name escapes me but now he plays dota I think

Then there was some other guy that was a HoN sperg that transfered to League that tested out the leavebuster thing by constantly quitting games endlessly until his account was banned for the next 300 years.

Basically you had to be one hell of an rear end in a top hat to get in deep poo poo in the old days. People give Lyte poo poo but the game became a lot more pleasant from the first two seasons of the game and I'm pretty sure the guy was at least to some degree responsible for it improving.

Yeah, those cases were abundantly clear that those people were tremendous sacks of poo poo. I kinda miss the tribunal, honestly.

Yeah, well. The thing about the old tribunal is that you had to get reported a lot to even show up there, and then it just pulls random reports to show people Punish/Pardon so sometimes people would look completely innocent because of a couple reports that came because someone stole red buff from their ADC or post-game lobby stuff.

But if you ever popped up in the Tribunal there was always a good reason you were there, it wasn't just because of five or six false reports. It was more like 30 or 40 reports over a month. The average person got reported like 15 times a year back then if they weren't being toxic.

I don't think the honor system is even a part of the new client anymore but I could be wrong. Its just such a pointless feature with no reward attached to it, idk why they don't just rip off Overwatch and have people vote for an MVP of sorts and then give that person like +150 IP

The reason why it failed was because you needed an absurd amount of honors per game/percentage of games played and people lost interest in it pretty quick. I had Green and Blue ribbons on separate accounts for a while and they decayed because nobody ever gave anything except honorable opponent. Also honors from your friends didn't mean poo poo because they weighted them down if you were queued with them

If there were rewards for maintaining them then people would care again

I think it also needs to be a more mandatory part of the client. Instead of you having to actively click on the button and then pick one of the options, just have the post game results screen have something like MOST WARDS PLACED (honor for teamwork) MOST DAMAGE DONE (honor for honorable opponent)

I didn't see a huge change in attitude from the honor system; people were a bit less blatantly antagonistic, but that was replaced with "honor you if you honor me" begging

IIRC it was really easy to lose the ribbons too, I had a Teamwork ribbon for like, a week at most.

It's hilarious to me that you are trying to justify this. To get permabanned in league you have to be slurring people to a degree that would make a KKK member blush. League has the most lenient banning system I've ever seen. What your individual sexual orientation is has no bearing on how you treat other people.

My mom and both of my grandmothers died when I was a small child and I've never once even gotten a warning because I don't take personal drama to my video game battlegrounds. If you do then you should probably seek therapy before hitting requeue.

Well yeah, the whole requirement to actually maintain it became so absurdly high it wasn't worth it. Plus I think "Helpful" probably isn't that useful of a category given most people have a pretty decent concept of what goes on in a game. They did something again recently I think with a free mystery skin for folks that hadn't been reported a boatload last year? Little stuff like that will help to make a less unpleasant experience. I do miss my honorable opponent badge.

I didn't see the begging thing but most games the whole homophobic/racist slurs toned down tremendously. I mean yeah people were less antagonistic but they at least had to force a smile through grit teeth which is a hell of a lot better than telling people to kill themselves or whatever.

Also Libertine is on point here. Probably should do anything else but mash queue again when you're upset/depressed because the slightest little thing will send you off and make you irrationally angry at a videogame. Something you as presumably an adult should not be doing.

On the flip side in the past couple months I've reported multiple people openly screaming racial and homophobic slurs all throughout full SR games and never once gotten the "Hooray a shithead you reported got punished thanks!" message. I don't even know how it's possible to get banned at this point.

I had just assumed that Lyte had temporarily frozen all banning so he could run more toxicity studies and publish more exciting papers confirming that people who name themselves "BlackDudeLyncher69" are, in fact, generally unpleasant to interact with.

Someone did bring up a good point, it would be nice if they relaunched the honor system, it's main problem is needing everyone to hop through clicking tiny menu's to bring up a big list of things to honor, overwatch beta showed you can get people to "honor" you if you bring up the top stats of the game and put a giant, easy to click way to honor the person for it.

They are reworking the client anyway, all they need to do is lump "Friendly" "Helpful" and "Teamwork" into a single category and make that button to honor your teammate/enemy very visible and immediately able to click before people forget about the game that just happened too much or leave.

Half the time I don't honor because the button is really tiny and close to report/ignore so you might misclick those and sometimes the menu closes itself while you scroll through the options.
