Tribunal Ban InquiriesI've been spending a lot of time floating around in the Tribunal Ban Inquiry forum lately, and I've been noticing a trend that has hopefully started to peter off. Many people who post in the forums have been neglecting to post a reform card, or are already banned and have had their thread closed for going off-topic or for being nonconstructive. Yet they persist in the belief that they have done no wrong, and rather that it was the fault of the other players who provoked them into reacting the way they did. "Retaliation is not ok." Riot has stated this time and time again, and this is the core issue that lands many players in the tribunal. Perhaps your teammate made some really bad plays, and just keep dying over and over again. Yes, this does mean that they could be ruining your fun and your game, but there are also 3 other people on your team and 5 other people playing against you. When you rage out, especially in /all, you're dragging innocent bystanders into your train wreck. Instead of one person potentially ruining a game, now there are two who are causing it to be less enjoyable, for the person who isn't playing successfully will most likely try to defend themselves against the rage-filled typing. Sometimes you have a full-blown troll in your game, who forces you out of your lane, into something you weren't prepared for as they did all of this last minute. Your game could already be ruined, as they've essentially changed the game from a 5v5 to a 4v5 due to inappropriate champions/runes/mastery set-ups. This still doesn't give anyone the right to hurl verbal abuse at them, because aside from it being inappropriate conduct, they also aren't the only ones who have to read it. Mute them, play the game to the best of your ability, and report them at the end of the game. Don't go crying out for reports throughout the game; say it once in the beginning if the trolling started in champion select, and once at the end if they continued their negative behaviour. Constantly calling them out in /all will make you look like a negative influence on your team, especially if the one being accused of being a troll stays quiet. The ways someone can be reported are numerous, it's true, but most people who wind up in the Tribunal have a fair number of issues with their games. If you get a reform card, and there's an abundance of cursing, calling people out in /all chat, and general levels of negativity, then maybe you should take it not as a negative, but rather a positive thing to have happened.
Tribunal trolls seem to believe that they can continue their aggressive behaviour without consequence in the world outside of their computer games, and while it may work for some jobs, it will be an instant dismissal in any retail or corporate position. Getting a reform card that highlights the negative behaviours signifies a way to change these behaviours, and hopefully a chance to change them before they become too challenging to overcome. Changing one's behaviour to create a more positive experience can be something that will help once they have to step out of their comfort zone and into a paying, professional environment. If you have been reported, please pay attention to why you have been reported. Get extra opinions from the forums, but please don't disregard them or think that the people who are offering the opinions are harsh, and cruel. The opinions that highlight your negative actions are attempts to show the behaviour that players in the game found to be unacceptable, and would prefer to not see, and is also quite possibly behaviour that you have overlooked or consider to be acceptable.
