12 + Deaths in under 25 Minutes = Low priority Queue

King Odin··2 votes·910 views

I'm bringing this up because a Yasuo trolled and died 21 times in 30 minutes in a ranked game. I don't think he got any repercussions for his actions so I think a system should be in place and immediate put people like this in low priority queue.

The concept is that if someone dies a certain amount of times within a certain time period may it be trolling, bad lag, playing badly they get immediate placed in low priority queue for 2 games.

even dying 10 times in 30 minutes is just bad. There needs to be a system put in place.

No, that person may actually just be having a bad game. 10 deaths in 30 mins isn't that bad.

i agree with this but low priority queue isn't the solution. It's gotta be something that works for both parties.

Low priority queue is for people who are being punished for unsportsmanlike conduct. Not for people who are just feeding. It's already easy enough to falsely accuse a player you simply don't like of having done something they haven't with the current punishment systems entirely automated. Adding in something like that is just making the problem worse.

Some people just get countered in lane. Sometimes the jungler is camping bottom lane and your ADC is getting picked off while your jungler refuses to go help. It isn't always a player's fault that they're being entirely wrecked in lane, or should you be equally as liable for creating a hostile play environment if YOU are the one going 10-0 by the time the laning phase is over? After all, you just pushed an advantage so hard that you've made yourself nigh unstoppable in a 1 or 2v1 situation, meanwhile there's a player on the enemy team who's likely catching flak for having a hard time against someone who got an early advantage and pushed it straight up their rear end as a result.

Are you at any less fault for taking advantage of a less skilled player as that less skilled player is for being taken advantage of?

There's already a report option for "griefing: intentionally feeding". Leave it at that and go on about your day.

Yes, but there has to be a limit. i.e. a player with 10 deaths in 15mins means basically gg for the entire team... they have maybe a comeback chance of at most 10-20%?

Either Riot makes comeback mechanics in the game better or there should be a way to maybe identify such players other than reporting them as 'Unskilled Player'.

So they should be punished for having a bad game? 10 deaths in 15 minutes isn't basically GG, believe it or not, although it certainly does make it much harder. If the team keeps playing defensively, by the time everyone hits the late game it no longer matters who had an early advantage because everyone is at the same point. Granted, it then makes it harder to survive until the late game but that's just the price paid. On the other foot, a teammate going 0-10 has stopped giving out meaningful amounts of gold and xp. They're basically no better than a large minion. So it could actually be a positive thing at that point, because instead of trying to push their advantage elsewhere they're wasting their time on weak target while allowing other teammates to get strong enough to make up for it.

And don't forget, if you have a teammate who's going 0-10 in 15 minutes, it's also because they were clearly having an issue being alone but no one on your team went to help. Your jungler, your ADC, your mage, your support, your tank, whoever else, everyone else on the team is just as at fault because it's a team game and while you all recognized that a player on your team was having an issue no one went to help. You might not always be able to, but at the point I have a teammate who's just hemhorraging gold and xp like that I'll at least try and give them a ward or two along river. I'll gank them extra. I'll roam from my lane to go and try to give them breathing room to farm.

No one ever wants to admit it but everyone is at fault if a teammate is getting shitstomped provided that they aren't just trolling. And, once again, I repeat that there are several options for reporting someone for that sort of behavior.
