[BLOG] Riot says LoL behaviour at all time best

League of Legends has a system called Tribunal within it. It allowed players to review and adjudicate on reports of bad behaviour, involving the community in policing itself. Unfortunately it went down for reworks about nine months ago and still isn't back. Players are beginning to wonder why.



Riot have apologised for the time it's taking, but have pointed out stats that seem to prove that even without it in place, toxicity in the game is already way down thanks to other implemented measures.



This is down to a combination of Riot's machine learning system becoming "extremely aggressive" in tackling things like racism, homophobia, sexism and death threats, which means that the metrics recently have shown such things now occurring in only 2% of matches. There's also a new intentional feeder detection system at work and the LeaverBuster tool is working to discourage people leaving mid-game.



Tribunal's own upgrading is taking time thanks to a need to not only tweak the backend of LoL's report system, but also make some to chatlogs and Riot's network of sites too. Riot says that it will bring benefits such as being able to review and reward positive in-game behaviours as well as more accurately detecting troll voters. Riot acknowledge that even with their other systems working well to cut down bad behaviour, Tribunal's delay is not justified by it.
