SUGGESTION: Disband Team Button

Zwila··2 votes·520 views

Premise: Button to disband team in champion select to avoid getting in games with people threatening to feed, afk, troll, etc.

Background: I have been through some ranked games where the team has been completely out of control since champion select, like going all mid adc. So, if the team is obviously not cooperating since champion select and the only sane option is dodging, why should the person be penalized? Like being in series and that counting as a loss. Why not include a button in champion select where if 3/5 members feel the team is not willing to cooperate, or are threatening of feeding etc, this button activates a disband team action and no one gets penalized.

I recently took a few months off the game for this reason, as well as not buying any skins for a long time due to issues like this. If issues like these were resolved, or at least alleviated, more players would come back to playing. Clearly this isn't one of the bigger issues to Riot, considering League has become one of the biggest games in the industry, but it is surely a factor that becomes detrimental to the new players, and games are constantly losing old players and gaining new ones. Eventually, this will become an issue to Riot.

P.S. if there is a section for suggestions I could not find it so I had to use this mean.

because that would allow people to free dodge out on things that aren't meta (AP MF, ADC TF) which is seriously unfair to the person wanting to play them. literally no other reason. Its a nice concept, but our community would abuse it.

If you want to play things that are not meta, experimental or simply wacky there are many options to do this. Team builder being the first of them. Second being normal games. I don't think ranked games are the place to try new wacky things. Specially when someone is in their series.

Who said they were trying these things in ranked? There are people who play unusual things regularly and are good at them. I've seen people in ranked doing really well with jungle Twisted Fate, Jungle Teemo, even AD Brand. If the people are good at these, why shouldn't they be allowed to play them?

Then there's slightly less extreme cases. For example, I mainly play Eve jungle - but that's not a popular pick. Should I never be able to find a game because people don't want that on their team?

What about if the enemy team gets a highly contested champion, like Sejuani for example - should your team be able to disband the game because of it? Or, just in general, should they be able to disband the team because the enemy's team composition is better?

Being able to abort champion select because of a troll is a nice idea, but it's been suggested often and rejected because it's too abusable.

You can make the disbanded team have a 5 minute cooldown just like dodging. But not count as a loss if you're in series. And of course there are many picks that are not meta and work, but all going adc mid or all going jungle, and things like that are clearly not optimal.

Your not supposed to quit the game in champ select. People just calling it dodge instead of being quitters.

posted this recently ran into same thing http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/VXNyjzpd-possible-solution-for-rightful-claim-to-role

you wouldn't even have to disband either just kick the one person and a replacement could come up: . after kicking someone if need be you could have a person join in like team builder and reset the timer and picks. But not restart bans of course bans should stay.

or give more time but not reset picks either. just that person will be stuck with the role in question. he will have the choice to refuse it and leave however at no penalty for him, just like you can in team builder, and click find another group...

also getting kicked too many times will get you some kind of penalty

Stupid idea is stupid... and too abusable.

You people are just wasting your time, it's never gonna happen.
