Consistency
Structure
Immediacy
Tone
Reward system is separate from punishment system

As much as I'd like to jump into the side discussion (I'm a father of four myself), I'll avoid major tangents by simply saying I think we're both in agreement that standing by with an axe (The Tribunal) as punishment only for bad behavior will NOT produce good behavior. Correct?

so what do u do about ppl who will troll and just be a ****en **** wad and just give everyone a negative rating? pretty sure there ****s enough they would put negative regardless of a win. i think showing who gives rating is important cause then whats the point? even a person who carry the game will do that. not saying all but there are that ppl who are just plain out ****ed up. i mean who hasnt played with someone who has won the game for u but blames everything on u or the whole team when u helped that guy get fed? but just cause he carried he did everything.

I may not have understood your question(s) correctly, but I believe this is the answer:

See, he MUST distribute his 100 IP in some way. If he rates us all negative, it's 25 IP each. If he rates us all positive, it's also 25 IP each. The only rating he can provide is each of us in relation to each other. This is fitting, because even though he treated others like ****, they need to watch how they treat him, because he holds one person's worth of weight in the ratings. It encourages civility amongst all players, even those who feel they are the ones being wronged.

I like this idea a lot. I have to say I dont think it will necessarily have a HUGE impact on making trolls less trolly, but I think it is important that people who are doing well and trying their best to be a good teammate be rewarded for it. This idea is very good and I hope Riot at least thinks about it or comments to discuss!!

Bump:

I think this topic is worth attention from riot staff.

My hope is that Riot is silent because they like the idea, or at least are interested in it, but if they come out and say something like that people start making demands (WHEN WILL IT BE DONE!!?).

Or maybe because I'm critical of The Tribunal, something they must have put hours and hours (money and money) into, they're hesitent to show any support for this topic less it be perceived as admition of failure.

Or maybe they're just lazy.

Whatever the case, something as simple as "read it" from a Riot employee would be nice.

brilliant

tl;dr I fully support everything mentioned in the original post.

I don't know how many times people need to bump to make a difference but I can contribute one!

Hopefully a Red can take a look at this and consider it, or even just the concept if they want to make small adjustments then that's up to them. Either way, it's very well thought-out.

Furthermore, if some system is created that is remotely related to this, or inspired from this, the OP deserves some sort of reward for sure. It's pretty clear that a lot of time was spent into not only the details of how it works but also just the post itself. Correct grammar, bold headings, etc.

+1 for you, sir.
