Not ending the game to BM in ranked should warrant a temp ban.

So, I just came from a game where we were an early game team comp that was sieging the enemy base in a winning scenario. We had only one tower left, enemy respawn timers were coming back up, and we could have had a win on our records if we hit towers. Rather than doing the sensible thing and assisting the team in breaking the game OBJECTIVES, our Ezreal decided to sit back and watch us hit the towers, instead opting to emote spam at the enemy team. Low and behold, the enemy team respawned, we got aced, and seeing as they got a ton of shutdown gold on a late game team comp, we lost. They would have never been able to gain all that gold for use if we had ENDED, but our Ezreal decided that bming was more important than the outcome of a plat ranked game.

Yes, I know it's preseason. Yes, I know the report system is flawed as is. Yes, I know it's it's just one game-- but it's not.

It's not one game.

Time and time again, I've seen players throw games that were hard-earned victories by not hitting the objectives that end the game, instead choosing to troll. Whether it be running into fountain for last kills, getting more farm to bm, emote spamming, or waiting for the enemy respawns so they can have a 'last fight,' these players knowingly queue up for ranked without the mentality for it. Please, please bring back a system like the tribunal, as a bot system of reports truly doesn't catch cases like these; common cases.

Players who don't have the mentality to take ranked games seriously should be temporarily booted from the ranked queue, where they can play normals. By no means am I saying that normals aren't serious, but they do indeed have less consequences for those who are trying to climb and improve.

That's all I have. I needed to vent; to rant. On the off chance that some change is made to punish these players, I look forward to it. Thank you.

Sounds like your entire team overstayed

People think ranked is their fucking playground to do whatever they want and act like everything is for the lulz. A lot of people actually will try to defend this horseshit mentality, as though that is how the game is supposed to be based purely on the fact that it's a game.

Objectives > kills Pentakill > objective

Why would Riot ban people for actual toxic behavior when they can ban them for saying the "F" word instead?

Doesn't make sense.

0/10.

While I sort of agree, I love that moment when your team-mate is bm'ing and then a second later the enemy inhibitor spawns, they die and then they flash mastery 7 lol

I enjoy the suffering of the enemy team. Give them a little hope to make them keep playing.

To do that they'd have to cut all emotes from across teams. If the enemy team doesn't see the emote spam or taunt spam or dance, then people probably wouldn't bother doing it.

But who would buy emotes or ultimate skins if the enemy team can't see it? People still would, but it'd be far fewer. So from a company perspective; it's never going to happen. There's too much money lost on a f2p game.

This exact same thing happened in one of my games last night. I checked my match history and it wasn't the same Ezreal who did the same thing, but I was on the winning team. I still reported the trolling Ezreal for spamming emotes instead of winning the game, but this seems to be a common thing. I hope Riot does something to address the horrible behavior that players exhibit.

If you think not hitting the nexus should be bannable, so should be KSing and chasing kills for a penta instead of going for objectives. Sorry but you guys want to turn the game into a chore. I hope you at least make money off of this game if you take it so seriously.

If they not ending the game take that opportunity to force a come back it either ends up with 1 you getting something and comming back or 2 them ending the game so that you cant comeback thus you getting what you want. Your weak state of mind isnt really anyone's problem but your own.

Edit: Oh your allies Not ending the game to bm. Yeah that should be reportable and definitely bannable.

Let's not talk about the time where I managed in ranked to get our team to surrender just before the enemy nexus explodes :)
