"Don't end. I want S+"

This is the third time I've lost a game because people didn't want to end. This is the first time it was ranked.

Riot, why do you let streamers shit all over the concept of your game, and the concept of "winning" in general? Why do you let people get away with farming in the jungle at Lv18 with all six slots of their bag filled to the brim with items?

This isn't remotely acceptable, and on top of being stupidly daunting for the other team it creates stupid situations where you lose a game you had in the bag because your teammates refused to group and push with you.

So the enemy team could now be fighting better players, and you're now pushed downwards on the ladder - and because people decided they didn't want to end the fucking game.

Inevitably, <A turret has been destroyed>, <A turret has been destroyed>, <Defeat>.

They gave us a practice mode and an esports scene so we can learn from pros. What more do you want?

Actually what did YOU do to encourage them to end?

"End please." "END PLEASE" "Dude, we're going to lose if we don't take the Nexus NOW" <We get aced after running into them one-by-one, me on my way to their Nexus alone.> "Idiots." <Defeat.>

That's how it went and what I did. There is NOTHING I can do to change peoples' mind when they're dead-set on farming kills - and you know what's worse? I lose LP because of it.

It doesn't help that I play support and, in turn, there's nothing I can really do to push or take the Nexus out, nor that the ESport scene you speak of actually encourages this "Don't End" mindset. I'm trying to find distinct examples, but it's fairly common in some streams, and especially so in smurfing streams.
