"Open mid" should be instaban

Jefftiffy··7 votes·1,380 views

It's toxic, afk, and negative especially when your team is down something like 12/18.

Watch teammates tower dive a super ahead enemy team its 6/12 overall they wipe. Proceed to /ff. Doesn't get it "OPEN MID" and afks. Duo calls everyone trolls and feeders and says they refuse to play with "feeders" when they never truly participated and were part of the reason they were fed. The second we finally team fight in our base I get a double kill and they still afk.

Seriously the open mid mentality needs to be stopped. Making it an almost instant ban should stop all the toxic behavior caused by it.

IDC who you are telling to open mid, if its your team or the enemy team it is toxic and should be ban worthy. Riot you really need to set a precedent for this. There's already a /ff feature. Typing Open Mid is basically pointless and just tilts your team almost as bad as "/ff at 20".

I can understand in pro play. One team realizes there is no chance, but even then most of the time they still fight back.

Saving time should not be bannable.

I mean if you really want to save time don't play the game. Just because the game may take 40 minutes to win doesn't mean that it was a waste. If you think your team can come back its kind of pointless to open mid.

In solo queue it should quite honestly be bannable for just saying it. It's one thing to ask. It's another to force your will in on 4 other people.

when people are down 6+ towers, 10 kills and have no jungle control at 18 min in, people actually value time spent in the next game higher than time wasted in this 90% loss game.

Not giving up can be equally as selfish as giving up

Yes but typing it in all chat and doing it when the gap is only 6 kills and there isn't even an inhib down is kind of the point. I understand there are times when it is agreed on. But when you literally just afk and act super toxic you should be banned for it. IDC about your next game value. You are toxic and deserve to be banned for your actions by ruining my experience in a game. It's a team game if the /ff didn't go through then guess what suck it up and keep playing.

My point is open mid attitude is toxic. It's similar to the "GG Ez" and "/ff at 20" attitudes. There are times when the latter and open mid are acceptable, but in solo queue where there's 4 other players and none of them have agreed with you then its on you.

No, making this meta should be insta-unemployment.

i can see how it frustrates you, but do you honestly think you can carry such a team just on your own? why do you want to keep playing with them instead of just hitting surrender and get into a new game?

Idk maybe because I think most games can be won unless the deficit is huge. I mean in any elo below probably Diamond games are almost 100% up in the air until one team gets a huge lead usually sparked by an inhib going down.

Open mid fixes a major flaw in the ff system. Riot can't make it bannable until they allow ff whenever a game is over and not at an arbitrary time cutoff.

I'm not saying all of open mid is bad. But in a solo queue environment it is toxic. In 5v5 and pro scene I can see why it would exist. But outside of that it just pisses people off especially if you don't ask your team. There is a reason /ff takes 4/5 votes.

Open midding against the majority of your team should be bannable. If your team still thinks they can win you are just being negative and toxic and draining chances of winning.

In 5v5s 4/5 votes is going to happen no matter what. Its an agreed decision same with open mid. Just afking in solo game is making the environment toxic for everyone else not on board.

When you have a bot lane like 0/10 in 15 mins ,4 turets down ,2 drags down a jungler 3 lvl behind everyone else ,with 0 control of his own jungle...yea fuck that ,im not gonna waste my time with shit like this.Its not fun ,you dont learn anything from game like these.Games like these just piss me off ,wich leads me into being toxic ,wich i fucking hated it.So i would rather just open mid.
