LoL is a PC game, thus the community is more mature. But I don't think that's the reason the Tribunal is working.

If you take a look at it, it's really well made. It uses gamification, it rewards you with riot points (that you usually have to spend real coins to get!) and is apart from the game. By that I mean that when you're in the Tribunal, it has nothing to do with the game. It's like another game where the goal is to be wise and good.

Also many players have to decide whether or not the player is getting a ban. And as someone else said here, you rarely see players complaining when they don't deserve it.

> I personally am not a huge fan of the player community being in charge of this stuff.

It's either that or robots that would do it. The playerbase is way too big to pay people to do this job.
