Consistently having double digit deaths in 20-30 minute losses really needs to be punished

The level of damage and fast pace of the game has killed the importance of having decision making skills and playing strategically when trying to climb, which results in 9/10 games being decided by these players who basically just run it down their lane once they're behind.

The pacing of the game obviously isn't going to be slowed down, so something else really needs to be done to demonstrate to these players that this kind of play style is not good, regardless of the fact that they can sometimes succeed with it if to score an early kill and get ahead enough to overpower their opponent with numbers.

Something like reducing LP gains or increasing losses if 90% of your losses have you feeding out your ass would be a good start.

It is. If you're dying that much consistently you'll lose games and fall in elo down to other feeders/a level where you don't feed (unless you have an int-to-win strat like strategic death sion or proxy singed, in which case no punishment).

thats what i love about this site.

you completely forget about the one thing being complained about.

" fall in elo down"

the people playing with them will subjectivity lose lp for something outside of their control.

they ruin dozensof games before they actually get into their respective elos.

That's part of the game. Everyone deals with it. If you don't want to deal with random teammates, get a 5-man together.

And you'll (on average) gain as much by having people like that on the enemy team, so no worries on the lp over a decent number of games!

Definitely lowers matchmaking quality tho. This stuff is normally solved by the seasonal mmr reset afaik, but streaky players/boosted animals definitely get through.

Maybe you should go to their lane and help them catch back up instead of worrying about your own KDA?

No, they're only dying that much consistently on their losses. The dumb shit they're doing works 50% of the time, as long as they have a number advantage. The problem is that they continue to play the exact same way even when they don't have the advantage that makes it work.

Losing 320+ gold worth of plating and risking death to gank a lane that is behind 10 kills because they're playing like suicidal monkeys is one of the worst things you can possibly do.

The meta is being balanced specifically so that this type of play style is rewarded. Riot is actively punishing passive play and encouraging players to continue to fight despite being behind by removing all other methods of comeback.
