Riot take a side: Support the Feeders or Support everyone else?

Dagvaar·1/20/2015, 5:32:27 PM·3 votes·5,328 views

Everyone that plays ranked know that some games are really unwinnable bacause of feeders, the actual system will not really help to remove this behavior from the game, when you report for "intentionally feeding" you are giving that player a so called "weight" so that he will eventually be banned for a day or such. Riot should instead consider the gravity other than the frequency of the feeding; everyone can get mad bacause for example he got first killed and left behind.

We also know that this game fuel are kids, lets say between 14-20+ years? So Riot has to stay in a compromise, make the system "not so severe" so that kids can still play it, however this "fairness" will worse the game for everyone else. Riot please take a clear side, will you continue to support feeders and trolls in the name of profit or will you provide a product that everyone can enjoy playing with?

What you think guys? Do you actually like how feeders are treated in the game? Do you like this "soft grip" on trolls, feeders and any kind of toxic players or do you think that Riot should take a stronger position for the upcoming 2015 season? See the attached file to have an idea and get an heads up about this "Jinx" feeder. You will never want him on your next ranked game, no matter how much you can carry.

Do you feel you should be banned for going 4/10/4 on Vayne?

What about 4/10/2 on Shaco?

People have bad games, and you calling them shit only causes them to play worse.

Jinx wasn't the toxic one. Everyone BUT jinx was toxic towards her. And besides, it's not all about "I couldn't carry my team", it's working together to win. Obviously she wasn't trolling or her build wouldn't be a usual build. And you guys probably induced her to feed. You guys were probably telling her much she sucked and how she shouldn't play. That itself causes others to feed. If i get called horrible, bad, uninstall, or to kill myself, i WILL intentionally feed because the others were being jackasses who have no respect for others and will face the consequences that i won't regret. You make me feel bad, i will ruin your game.

I think you need to differentiate between feeding and trolling because it is not the same thing.

You can report someone for troll ofc, but it's kind of ridiculous to report someone for having a bad game. "You are bad at this game so you are not allowed to play"? What kind of logic is that?

I apologize if you're just referring to trolls in general but the way you worded it is kind of unclear.

The reason Riot isnt super harsh on feeders is because most of the time they are just having a bad game, using an unfamiliar champion or playing an unfamiliar role, maybe someone irl is distracting them (happens all the time, whenever i play its like everyone needs to talk to me and needs my full attention...). There are a lot of reasons its not instant ban for one game, besides we all have those games were we have a ridiculous number of deaths. I once had 19 deaths on Mordekasier and like 3-4 kills. I wasnt feeding i was just being outplayed by Fizz and Xin. Morde is good against Fizz until later in the game, but his Xin jung got him through early game by camping me, they continuously dove me while my Yi sat in the bush waiting for them to get low so he could take the kills. So we ended up losing and it was all my fault (even though the other lanes fed too -.-)

Based on your logic and recent match history, you should of been reported 4 times in the recent 10 games for feeder. IF that is your average then 40 reports out of 100 games when you only need about 20ish to get banned. Your logic of course.

Then again posts like this are why you are in bronze V. here is a tip though, rather then worrying about those who are doing poor, try thinking about how you can carry games and try to help the person is is "feeding". By the 3rd or so death is where you should of been factoring the possible problems what choices you could make to mitigate the damage.

Has it ever been suggested or is it possible for Riot to increase the criteria required to play in ranked games? Perhaps allow or unlock Champs that are M5 or higher or block summoners who have a history of feeding but haven't been reprimanded. It's so hard to climb out of Iron or Bronze when people play ranked with "First time Azir" and end up feeding the enemy causing a loss and a demotion.

As far as I can tell they had a bad game and you and your team raged at them. Raging will never help you in any situation.

for everyone im refering to INTENTIONALLY feeding, this means doing it on purpose, often also called out in chat too. Feeding is something that you do on purpose, everyone has bad games, but doing on purpose is different. If you keep dieing because you have had a bad day isnt feeding on purpose. Im not sure if my post was not clear or if I hurted someone nerve bacause you feel called in cause.
