Is this in effect right now? A group of friends and I on the PBE have been trying really hard to be toxic and experience the new system.

Aw man, no more raging at really bad teammates that don't know how to play defensively...

Great, now instead of banning toxic players, I get stuck in games with toxic players who are literally incapable of communicating.

Will this lift permanent bans on already banned accounts and change it into a perma-mute or something of that sort? :|

Also, how does this make any sense considering that part of the summoner's code is about communicating with your team. You are going to punish breaking the summoner's code by making it impossible to follow the summoner's code?

Honestly, I generally have more problem being toxic with my own team than the other team. Hell, my convos with the other team tend to be pretty civil.

No, he has already said it is not retrospective in scope, if it is applied.

Part of the experiment is measuring exactly how much this affects communication, or whether it does at all. A large number of players only use pings with a few "mia" here and there and they seem to do just fine.

The complete removal of bans actually makes me think that other toxic behaviour cases are to increase. I'm not talking about AFK or negative attitude, since, especially AFK, is detectable simply enough. The thing that worries me much more is intentional feeding. The player who knows he is not banned next game even if he feeds intentionally, is encouraged to do this again and again. So, removing the bans, will for sure lead to "feeding" cases increase.

There is absolutely nothing that can be told to those toxic players.I tried many ways to calm those down, reason them etc. Its just pointless.

And there is nothing valuable they bring into my game by writing.
In fact in solo q, nothing usefull is ever communicated by chat. All info ever exchanged is by pings.

i'd realy wish i could turn off my teams chat , the way i turned off "all chat", leaving only pings active. Would save me alot of frustration reading all that flaming and idiocy on chat. There is even no creativity in how they yell at eachother just " noob, idiot,low,cancer related,mother related, uninstall,kid" and thats pretty much all they say.
