See a lot of comments here on reddit about "Great can't wait to be banned for sucking at the game or going 0/4".

Um, it's 1 thing to play bad in silver, but if you're making it to masters and consistently flashing backwards, splitting on zilean support, or going 0/11 with 4 cspm, I think we can safely say you're not having a bad game you're just taking the piss.

No one cares if you suck at the game in low/mid elo, but you sort of have certain standards when you're actually climbing up the ladder.

Definitely 1 of the things that made me stop playing solo q. The amount of people after I hit masters that just perma respawn and fight and if you ping them they buy full AP items on riven and just type "sorry i'm trying my best" is absurd.

If Riot pulls this off I'm legit coming back as a player/customer. The most annoying part of the climb handsdown.

Currently the version of "soft inting" we're looking at is the frustrating and obvious stuff we dont have defenses against right now. For example:

  • Following your jungler around and taking their camps
  • Selling all your items to buy 6 saphire crystals
  • Wasting your summoner spells.

These actions are difficult to detect right now, and even more difficult if the player does them for a bit and then returns to playing normally. Our goal with this round is to get some of these actions picked up by our system so they are punished appropriately.

We don't currently have plans to action against the version of soft inting that is 'my teammate is playing below the level I expect of them.'

Absolutely batshit insane take.

How in the world doy ou think it's even remotely ok to add an automated system that will f**king punish missclicks. Like this is one of the most insane justifications any Rioter has ever put on something.

A single wasted summ wont be enough to trigger a penalty.
