Reddit threads have been flooded with reports detailing the nefarious tactics employed by these trolls, who utilize bots to juggle multiple accounts simultaneously. Their aim? To disrupt the flow of fair gameplay by instigating chaos during champion selection, coercing other players into dodging matches.

For those unfortunate enough to end up in a game with them, the experience is marred by intentional poor performance, effectively sabotaging any chance of victory for their team.

While trolling and griefing is nothing new in League of Legends, Riot Games is not turning a blind eye. In response to the outcry from players, the developers have stepped up their efforts, actively monitoring and penalizing these troll groups. Numerous accounts have already faced the banhammer as a consequence of their disruptive behavior.

Furthermore, Riot Games is investing resources into developing solutions to thwart such misconduct in the future. Although these endeavors are still a work in progress, the community is encouraged to continue reporting instances of trolling to expedite the process of enforcement.

In addressing concerns specifically related to griefing, another developer has acknowledged ongoing efforts behind the scenes. However, they are hesitant to divulge details until concrete solutions are ready to be shared with the player base.

They empathize with the frustration of hearing repeated assurances of “we’re working on it,” yet emphasize their commitment to earnestly tackling the issue head-on. Rest assured, the development team is dedicated to delivering tangible results and restoring the League of Legends experience.
