Riot games has one of the worst ranked system ever

Hello there! My name is Drakusxd and I am a gold 4 ADC main. I have played League of legends for more than 4 years and still enjoy playing it, however, I am more than tired of experiencing "trolls" during ranked matches. I lost multiple times due to the fact that one player feeds the whole game or leaves the game... One example of this happened quite recently, I played a ranked match with a "yasou main" and he inted the (0/4), stating that he can't play against this player and resulting in him leaving the match. One thing I don't understand, if this is gold why don't we have gold players? Why don't we get propper matches, this is the main reason why this game is dying ( and also the champions, but that will pass). I have lost many promos because of this and never intended to talk bad about my favourite game, but this leaves me no choice but to take this to my community

Question. Is there anything riot can do to stop you in a game from, walking away. Running it down mid, Pulling the plug on your PC if you wanted to. Not saying that you would, but if you made the call to do this what exactly can riot do to stop you there and then? Hypno beams? Mind control collar?

If the answer is "literally nothing" Then you might want to place the blame to the player who makes a toxic decision.

What you should be asking for is that riot improve their player behavior systems. MMR systems wont give a shit unless toxic behaviors show up as direct impact to some ones win % and even then they will never remove that player alone.

Ranked should have stricter Rules for its behavior systems, Clear punishments and they should be constantly alearting players when and why a punishment was thrown out. For example if you got a message.

"We have been alerted that your teammate -yasuo name goes here- left the game intentionally. They have been given a -X days- ranked suspension for this behavior as it was their first punishment. Competitive quality matters to us and behavior that damages the integrity of matches is unacceptable."

You cant stop shit behaviors, but you can make it less frequent by being very clear about punishments to discourage it, and a lower tolerance for shit behaviors helps remove them from the Que more rapidly.

Basically what I want to say is that match quality is inherently tied to quality of players in a PvP game where even good gameplay is wasted if you have negative people. For league? with even 10% of a playerbase being toxic you see them impact almost every single game due to the nature of player distribution. 9 slots at 1 in 10 odds to see some one toxic is very common.

Target the correct problem. Player behavior systems need improvement.
