My PROMO MATCH AND THIS HAPPENS,THIS PERSON NEEDS TO BE PERMA BAN.

LegendmakerGX·Jul 11, 2015·119 votes·9,159 views

THESE ARE ALL RANK MATCHES NOT NORMAL.

So I worked my way to get to my Plat promotion and finally get out of gold, So we had a match where this player was top and he fed 2 kills which non of my team or me barely care since it was 2 simple kills. After feeding 2 kills he said I'm going to afk, my team told him to have to balls to leave then but he said he is going to stay to not get leave buster ban.

THANK HELL ME AND MY BOT CARRIED THIS IDIOT.

After game I went to see his previous match history (Don't worry the pic shows other matches he played with other people and not the one with me). This is the reason why rank is a pure joke because trolls like this. Every match in that picture he trolled even the bot renekton game.

How is he not ban yet you ask? HE STAYS IN THE MATCH SO HE DOESN'T GET BAN FROM LEAVE BUSTER.This is why Leave buster ban is so easy to dodge.Just move every 4 min and you won't get a warning

I'm going to send RIOT a ticket and see what they have to say about this because this is a joke and there is more matches he troll then this pic.

God, it's times like this that I WISH Naming & Shaming was allowed...

Honestly, I think it should totally be allowed in the worst of cases (such as this).

DeynaTaggerungJul 11, 20158 votes

There was no naming actually. All personal information was blanked out. I'm sure he'll name the summoner in his ticket to riot, but this post is just to vent his frustration at this type of player in general.

Someone could make a shitload of money if they ran a MOBA board for all MOBAs that was centered around naming and shaming.

Just saying.

EeyoreJul 12, 20151 votes

How would they make a load of money unless they charged? Who would pay to see people named and shamed? And I think Riot has stated they don't allow people to profit from their API, so Riot would probably pull out. I'm not convinced advertising alone makes a "shit load" of money.

MalzaharAnyLaneJul 12, 20151 votes

You don't need an API to imitate Imgur/Reddit and link to Mobafire, or Lolking or any other site that has done the work of aggregating the stats of people you want to shame. You can also link to League's site and League's reddit, but neither of those would matter for these purposes.

You don't need an API to toss up some forum software, restrict or ban doxxing and start monetizing it the way Twitter does.

You /may/ need an API to be able to archive posts, but not Riot's API. Generally speaking in order for the site to survive, you would need to delete posts after anywhere from 24 hours to 2 weeks unless they are stickied. You would need links to Pastebin for Riot support tickets and other emails ofc.

No one going to such a site expects the kind of staff or uptime that even 4chan managed, either. But it's not hard to start selecting specific players to shame and then pasting tidbits from the posts on Twitter either.

There's plenty of ways to monetize it without pissing people off or inadvertently giving them malware. It wouldn't be easy, but it wouldn't be the most difficult thing in the world to monetize for a few years either.

In what world would you need Riot's permission or API to create a 'some men want to watch the world burn' environment? You are at least as exposed as the people trying to name/shame trolls because guess what, they have to confirm with matchmaking information and screenshots. The board culture simply entails the opposite of Riot's, if you censor the identifying information, you get downvoted or banned.

It's really not all that different from Facepunch forums banning for poor grammar. You are simply facilitating the mob mentality and forcing Riot to act quicker to implement votekick, match forgiveness for AFK's and 3-2 surrender votes. Circumventing the policy of their support re: getting news about the names of the people you got punished isn't punishable by any rules Riot does, nor are you doing something as stupid as providing a drophack.

All you are doing is providing a service Riot cannot for PR reasons, forcing the community to police itself and circumventing the atrocious and unworkable policy of player behavior modification in favor for ostracizing them.

You may have to downvote/ban for not accompanying your whiny rants with screenshots and match history links, but none of these involve implementing an API whatsoever. You /will/ have to be competent enough with site security not to allow Lizard Squad to hijack your site with outdated software given the nature of your site, but if you operate the site such that this is an eventuality instead of a preventable outcome, it's easy enough to mitigate the damage via backups or abandon the site entirely when it happens.

There is literally nothing any MOBA developer can do, to slap you with a cease and desist for running an imitation of the Better Business Bureau for medium-profile MOBA players.

EeyoreJul 12, 20151 votes

I assumed the name-and-shame would be semi-automatic - and you would need access to the API in order to access game history, which is what I was referring it. If the suggestion is just for a blog for people to rant on - use any of the existing blogs/forums that aren't moderated by Riot (such as a purpose-made Reddit). I still don't see how this would make money - because if someone starts charging, move onto the next board. What would they even charge for...

He is the worst kind of player as he is not willing to really try. If he starts losing lane he just says fuck it and trolls but if he has really good people and got first blood or first kill in lane he will keep playing and win. He relies on luck and team comp rather than skill and teamwork

LegendmakerGXJul 12, 20152 votes

That's what he does if he loses ( Just him ) he afk but when he wins he stays. When he saw me and my bot winning the match in a 4v5 he came back to level up really fast and try to take kills. He is what I call garbage and the part that made me mad the most is that even if it was my promo and I pass, this idiot won the match too even when he did nothing.

LaceUp23Jul 11, 201530 votes

Yea, rito doesn't care about this to be honest. They don't care about anything except "verbal abuse". Honestly, if someone in this game said, "wtf dude stop trolling", they probably got reported and rito will slap a chat ban on them for "ruining the game for everyone because verbal abuse is bad." It is sad. It's almost as sad as the fact that most of the community actually defends these trolls. Look how many examples there are of this same thing that has been downvoted to hell. You have posted this at a good time lol...if it stays popular, watch the downvotes start coming from this community. I find it amusing that they bitch about "verbal abuse", but defend this type of behavior...because "they were having fun noob itz jus a gayme." It's almost as if they aren't intelligent enough to understand that this behavior is the reason for the vast majority of "toxic" language in the game.

Bottom line is this: if Lyte continues to head the "player behavior" klusterfuk, the community will CONTINUE to grow worse, just as it did since he has started.

MrRadoJul 11, 201514 votes

Lyte's work on player behavior has done nothing but show improvement in the actual quality of the games I've played in.

Granted, I don't do much ranked, but even in other modes my experience has shown fellas, even when raging etc, are tending to listen more, be more considerate, and less mouthy. Even more, I almost never see cases where people band-wagon their toxicity. It seems the exact opposite, where one person flies off the handle and the rest tell him to chill and calm down.

And of course Riot cares. There would be absolutely zero reason for them to not-care. Sure, it sucks that this sort of thing happens, but they are obviously working to improve the game and the quality of matches. At least it feels obvious to me.

I dunno bud, I haven't lived your experiences, or those of the OP, but my personal time playing the game indicates an improving community and an overall better experience for me than I've ever had in League.

The EcdysiastJul 11, 20155 votes

His point is just that the only report they actually look at is Verbal Abuse, which is true. AFK doesn't mean anything because the Leaverbuster checks if they actually disconnected. Assisting the enemy, unskilled, etc. don't do anything at all.

Sona PingJul 11, 20151 votes

Well, which report category is the easiest to reliably detect?

LegendmakerGXJul 11, 20153 votes

Non actually if you get reported for verbal/negative attitude you will get a warning and if you get a lot you will automatically get chat restricted or suspended. People can be mad at you for anything and report you for verbal abuse and actually get you ban since it never gets checked.

Vistha KaiJul 11, 20152 votes

Warning means completely nothing. You get it based on the number of reports you recently got, instead of their accuracy.

Holy shit, what game are you playing? 90% of the time I've been harassed people have bandwagoned to 'report jacobdg' instead of the person cussing me out because I gave up two deaths.

The war on verbal abuse is a failure. I've been chat restricted for no reason, and it's because its a bot running the report system. This in return makes me more toxic because it's complete BS, making the game overall more toxic. Fighting a negative with a negative has never worked.

HUGE tip for Riot: In a game where almost everyone is toxic, don't let a bot do all the banning for you. It's absolutely silly. The only way I'm not gonna get chat restricted is if I don't talk at all. Even in games where I've given very kind constructive advice for how to play their champion, I get slapped with a report for trying to help them and the system thinks "Wow, this guy is an asshole. 40 game chat restriction."

Vistha KaiJul 11, 20153 votes

My experience is that people don't speak with each other at all anymore. Somebody using /all chat? Ha ha. By mistake when calling MIA at best.

Is it an improvement in behaviour? I guess so. Is it good? Hell no.

Honestly, if someone in this game said, "wtf dude stop trolling", they probably got reported and rito will slap a chat ban on them for "ruining the game for everyone because verbal abuse is bad." It is sad.

I don't get why people think like this. I type harsh shit all the time in games and I've never even gotten so much as a warning (and I've been playing since season 2). When people are trolling, I get pissed.

Zed - "first time zed lel" (feeds all game, doesn't ward, doesn't communicate) Me - "jesus. thanks for the fucking loss zed. next time you wanna try a new champ out go to fucking bot games"

Never have I been warned about this type of chat, because I didn't personally insult or attack him and everyone on my team agreed with what I was saying. If I do get reported by the Zed, it doesn't mean much, because he probably has no weight to his reports due to being a troll (reporting people all the time/getting warnings himself).

I think if you're getting reported for verbal abuse consistently enough to where you get warned/banned, it's because you're doing it against the consensus. For example, Zed makes a single mistake in a teamfight, despite playing good all game and being polite. "zed you fuck, that was fucking terrible. refund your skin scrub". You're probably going to get reported by your team, as that was uncalled for. Repeat this enough and you get warned/banned.

It's fairly true. I got reported (warning message popped up) because our bot lane was feeding. After a combined 6 deaths and them whining about needing help I said "You're feeding and there is nothing smart about dying next to THEIR tower if you're down by a lot" and I think I called them a "couple of potatoes".

"Verbal abuse."

Yep.... main thing riot is worried about is bad language and people being mean (Boohoo boo boo). Yet passive aggressive trolling is fine.

Is there a reason that riot doesn't care about player behavior? Would it cost them too much time or money? Do they just want people to think this isn't a problem so they don't address it?

I agree with your post btw, I am just curious as to why they don't care.

LaceUp23Jul 13, 20151 votes

I'm honestly not too sure. I am not sure because I don't feel like they have tried to address it in any way. That leads me to believe they don't care about it or that they don't acknowledge that it is a problem. I mean, the other alternative is that Lyte is actually too unintelligent to realize that this type of behavior is what causes toxicity. I mean, I would think he would realize it fairly quickly since his attempts at solving toxicity by going after the reaction instead of the cause have failed miserably. What he is doing is the equivalent of turning on your air conditioner in an attempt to fix global warming. There's also the possibility that these trolling 12 year olds are spending decent amounts of their parents money on the games (often these trolls I encounter will have skins). So being businessmen, it would hurt them to stop that income. I have no clue if it is because they don't care, don't think it's a problem, stupidity, or a combination of the 3. But, if they don't wake up, League will CONTINUE to become more and more toxic...just as it has since Lyte took over.

FireflyExoticaJul 11, 20152 votes

What about this has anything to do with the Gameplay & Balance subforum? Not only that, the fact that you got matched repeatedly with the same person and never took the time to stop and think "Maybe I should wait a few minutes between queues" means it's nothing I'm going to feel sorry for you over. On top of both of those things, you are not so special that your promos being ruined warrants anyone being permanently banned. Report the guy and let the system in place take care of things, and move on.

LegendmakerGXJul 11, 201523 votes

1st, Does player trolling other people effect gameplay? YES 2nd, Where did I even say I got match up with him again please tell me? I said these matches in the picture are from his OTHER games that he TROLLED. 3rd, Where the HELL did I say I was special? I just said it was my promo match and this guy trolled it so I looked at his previous matches and guess what, HE TROLLED 9 OTHER MATCHES THAT WERE RANK.

4th, Do you really think reporting for Afk/Feeding does anything? he dodge the leave buster system so he won't get a warning, Riot does not check bans AT ALL since they let a system do it for them and for this guy to TROLL more then 9 games (6 IN A ROW Not counting my match) and still not get ban you think that the system works? HE DODGED THE SYSTEM ( LEAVE BUSTER ). GG He got away and even said he doesn't want to get ban that's why he stay'd in the match and moved ever 4 min to not get a warning.

FireflyExoticaJul 11, 20153 votes

The only games that you have shown where this person clearly trolled in are the Draven game and the Alistar game. He also had a leave on the Master Yi game. Other than that, all that I can see evidence of is that he played normally and then decided to sell his items and buy Zeals when his team was surrendering. There is clear intent to play the game in more than half the games on that snippet you've shown.

The fact that you brought up his match history is borderline Witchhunting. You need to understand that a scope of 9-10 games is extremely small for a sample size and that punishments are never doled out for sample sizes that small. That is what the punishment system is there for, and it very much so does work. Players are punished every month because of getting reported far too many times and breaking the game's rules. This person simply had two games where he purposely evaded Leaver Buster. Leaver Buster is not the only system in place to punish players. The Tribunal still exists and is still effective. If this person is a consistently toxic player, the reports will send him to the tribunal and he will be judged accordingly.

LegendmakerGXJul 11, 201510 votes

I SPRAYED OUT THE NAME AND SAID THE MATCHES ARE NOT FROM THE MATCH I HAD WITH HIM SO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE GUY THEN TELL ME IF YOU CONSIDER THIS A WHICH HUNT.

Your comment just hurts my brain so much, do you want to see more of his other troll matches since there is more then this picture to satisfy you with proof?? How do you know they get punished?Ever since the so called tribunal came back Riot only said it was for toxic/verbal issue not intentional feeder/Purposely afking, and it's managed by a ROBOT SYSTEM not people/Riot/ANYONE so how much time does he need to afk/troll before he get ban since I'm sure he most had got over 10 report in those 5 matches alone?

Also we have to wait 1 whole month until this guy gets ban? Sooooo he is on a free trolling streak until 1 month comes by?

Please use your eyes again, That Vlad and Nasus game that you said he did not trol.... You are seriously telling me it took him 32 min to get to level 13 with Vlad and 20 min to get to level 10 with NASUS? Did Riot nerf the minion exp?

WildCard823Jul 11, 20155 votes

Not to pick a side here or anything, but you can look at your match history and figure out what games these were then just match them up to this match history to find out who it was. Just saying.

TurquoiseYoshiJul 12, 20151 votes

NilokJul 11, 201512 votes

Actually, all of those look fairly solidly in the troll camp, not just those two. Take a look at his level, his items, and the total time. The longest game is 32 minutes, yet he is only level 13. That game and the Nasus one is also the only outliers that he got any solid kills.

Regardless, while you are correct that 9-10 games is a small sample size for a group, it is a strong sample size for an individual. He has at least 108 minutes of negatively impacting the games of four other people in ranked, almost two hours per person. The list also shows that it isn't a one off thing over a long period, but instead a pattern of harmful actions to his team.

I don't think an outright ban is required, but the player does need to know that this is not acceptable, and has obviously not been contacted by Riot that he is on notice, which would either curb this behavior, or cause him to switch to a different account.

A possible solution to the later is to record the IP addresses of players and noticed when multiple accounts are played from a single IP address but not run at the same time, then send a warning to all the tagged accounts on that IP address about that Summoner's actions. No actual bans or restrictions would apply to the other accounts, but it would either scare the player from using a Smurf to troll since they would think their main account would also be affected, or cause a discussion in the family about their actions.

DeliothJul 12, 20152 votes

~~The only thing that would mess with that last suggestion is that it would mess with people who live in the same place with one computer/have conflicting schedules~~ Scratch that, reread the paragraph/thought a little more and I think that would actually extra incentivize people- a significant other or roommate would get a report that you're trolling, and could apply peer pressure to help with the troll's issue.

Go on.

LegendmakerGXJul 11, 20153 votes

I'm also going to add this too.

I'm just going to say this I play carry roles buddy I ain't the type who plays support most of the time and get carried to diamond like you, if you going to say you play other roles then support then I'll tell you that you barely have kill over death on them which means you practically got carried most of the time. I don't want to be a dush but your comment was beyond stupid, people who mid/top/jungle/adc does MOST of the work to carry and for you to get carried to diamond and say MOVE ON SO WHAT THAT IT'S JUST PROMO is beyond hilarious.

Try to play other roles then support from silver to plat and let's see if you can say LET THE SYSTEM DEAL WITH IT when it's your promo and you get a troll. Ever since rank was reset I had to work from silver 5 to platinum ALL ALONE (Some with friends) was 7-3 in my placement match and was gold 2 in season 4 so I don't know how I was place into silver 5 ( carried my matches of the 7-3). It's not easy carrying matches when your team mate trolls or feeds, so don't tell players that their promo and hard work is nothing when you don't know what it feels to play from bottom to the top again( ALONE AND NOT DUO ).

Most(Most not all) people in diamond don't troll so I highly doubt you remember the feeling of what it felt like being in Bronze/Silver/Gold and working hard to get a higher rank.

Please reply and tell me what deserve a permanent ban in your opinion? Being toxic which you can just mute them or a troll who feeds on purpose and go afk wasting 20 min or more of your time?

FireflyExoticaJul 11, 20154 votes

Did you really just bring my rank into account? In your own rant about why someone who trolled should be banned? Do you understand how not only irrelevant my rank is to that, but how childish it is to sit here and say that I get carried to diamond? LOL. That is just hilarious and proves that you are just angry. You are focused on a small portion of games and as someone else has pointed out in a previous reply in this thread to what I said, that being he bought Zeals after the game was over, this player has barely trolled in any of the games you showed. Yes, the actions he made in the games he did that avoided Leaverbuster broke the rules. The fact of the matter is, you complaining on the forums does nothing to get this person banned. The only thing you can do is report and move on.

What you did not do is that, however. You made a thread complaining about this person because YOU were affected, and YOU are butthurt, as shown by the fact that you went through my personal match history which you don't even understand because nothing about what you said is true. My KDA ratio on every champion is very similar in my top 15 champions, not just the supports. So you're even lying when you talk about that.

The fact that you brought up my gameplay is pathetic. Not only do I have multiple smurfs on which I have gotten to diamond on through Season 4 and Season 5 along with my main account, I don't duo queue much of ever. Your comment is just purely irrelevant to the very conversation you brought up.

To suggest that people don't troll in diamond is also hysterical. People are people. Regardless of where they are ranked. I get just as common a troll in Diamond as I did when I was climbing through gold, climbing through plat on five different accounts. It happens. Promos are lost. This is a game. You will have more chances, but since you are a rager perhaps you will not.

I never said this person doesn't deserve a permanent ban. I said that you made a post that shows a very small number of games that exhibit actual trolling. There are three games where this person explicitly broke any rules out of ten. You are focusing on this ONE person. That shows you are Witchhunting because you are angry, just like you bringing up my playing history in a thread discussing BANS is proof that you are angry. With your attitude I am certain you have raged at your teammates before and had games where you feed and games where you just give up. Do you want to be banned because you did that a couple of times? People have bad days, that is what I am telling you. When someone is a repeat offender, the report system WILL catch up to them. It's what it's there for, you can check the stats for yourself on how many players have actually been banned since its inception. You want to know why I was able to climb so high? Because I used to be like you and took every game as a stressful occurrence where losing was a major problem and every game was important. As soon as I stopped that, I rose (in season 2) from low gold to high platinum in a matter of two weeks. You are playing a game, a game where other people are part of it. Things like this happen. Keep a cool head and understand you have many many more chances to advance and you'll have a lot more fun with it.

Or you can just keep being confrontational to someone who pointed out some questionable statements within your posts, you can keep raging at the trollers instead of doing the only thing you can do, which is to report them and move on. You are wasting energy making threads like this and worrying about what one person does.

bessie236Jul 12, 20155 votes

So yes, while it was pretty shitty of the author to bring up your rank, and I am not defending his actions in any way, this thread has a point. First of all, this troll clearly did this in at least 5 out of 9 games, and if that smite Thresh game is any similar, it would be 6 out of 9 games. So that means that at best, he has a troll percentage of about 56%, and at worst his troll percentage is 67%. Honestly the fact that he did it at all in ranked should warrant at least some kind of punishment, and the fact that he did it in at least 5 games should definitely be punished. I can understand someone having a bad losing streak, but he is clearly trolling. Secondly, the intent of this post is not to get this person banned, or to shame him. The author got a support ticket for the ban part (not sure how well that's gonna go), and if he wanted to shame this guy, he wouldn't have blurred the names, or the author would have pointed us in the direction of the name. Finally, if there's one thing I want people to take away from this the fact that the LeaverBuster system can be tricked at all, regardless of whether or not people do it on a regular basis, is really worrying and something that needs to be fixed (not to hate on Rito, you guys made an awesome game that we play for free. Sorry if we act like spoiled brats sometimes.)

Edit: Made the first sentence more clear.

FireflyExoticaJul 12, 20152 votes

I appreciate the articulated response. I do want to clarify a few things about the nature of the trolling done by this particular player. It's already been pointed out previously that this player did indeed try to play the game in the case of the games where multiple Zeals and Mobility Boots were purchased.

{quoted}

Given someone else's suggestion, I looked up the 5 Zeal Vlad game, which shows the players build order. The game ended at 32:22. Vlad did indeed sell all of his items to buy a bunch of Zeals... at 23:06. Apparently, he had a clear intent to play the game, until he didn't.

Runeglaive Nasus does not particularly fall into the troll category, by my or by Riot's standards. Breaking the meta is not the same thing as trolling. I have no idea how this player acted in game, what he said, nor anything else of that nature. The only information I have to go off of is a screenshot showing a small portion of games that he has played. He did play the Vladimir game for a while, and he did play the Alistar game for a while, then proceeded to sell his items. That isn't something I personally would condone, but he did make an effort to play, as he did in the Runeglaive Nasus game. The Renekton game seems like just a bad game for him, but that's only from looking at the screenshot.

Now, with that said, I am not trying to defend this particular player as someone who does not troll. I was simply responding that a very small sample size such as this that already has misleading information on the nature of what he did or did not do is unfair. This player very well may be extremely toxic and deserving of a ban. I am not arguing that. He evaded Leaverbuster in his Draven and one of the Alistar games, as well as recording a leave in his Master Yi game. All of which break the rules.

The point of this post is indeed regarding LeaverBuster, but in that situation, the other games in his match history that are not blatantly abusing that he can avoid LeaverBuster are irrelevant. That is my point. Only three of the games are related to LeaverBuster.
