This game needs to allow you to leave ranked games and maybe take like double the LP loss for it or something. Half the reason people get so frustrated in this game is when your playing a game and someone starts to troll or intentionally feed you cant even leave the game. Your stuck now in a 40 minute long game with someone basically wasting your time and taking a dump on your competitive spirit over and over. You can't even say anything to them or you might get in trouble for it. You literally just have to sit there and take it over and over for 40min. After multiple games like this it's no wonder people snap and finially flip out on some poor soul who makes a small mistake. Their venting built up frustration from previous games.

Think of it like this. Say your out walking down the street. And some random person just walks up to you and grabs your phone out of your hand and throws it into the road, watches it get run over by a car and smashed then laughs in your face. If this happened in riots world you cant say or do anything to this person. But in the real world we all know you would punch that person in the face.

League of Legends is a so called "E-Sport". Well, in Pro Basketball, Pro Football, Pro Baseball. Competitive players talk trash to each other all the time. Could you imagine if they got kicked out of the league for it. It would be considered the biggest joke of all time.

How can you combine the world "Competitive" and "Carebear" in the same sentence? You can't. Its just complete foolishness to even try. You can try all you want but in the long run nothing will change. Any time you have any kind of competitive Game/Sport/Scene. Anytime there is competitive drive in 2 or more individuals. They will clash. Its just how it is. You can throw any arguement you want at it, but you all know its true. Trying to eliminate it is a fools errand.

Now knowing this and trapping people in that with no means of escape or leaving when someone is deliberatly trying to ruin your experience and forcing you no means of dealing with it is what is destroying this community. You can claim the report button is there for this exact reason but we all know the report button is useless on actions, and only good for words.

And I can already tell some people will be like Well I only play for fun not to win, and my response to that is that is EXACTLY why riot has made several game modes including Normal games and ARAM, etc. Ranked games are for people who like to play with some competitive spirit. For people to want to try to win and see how good they are compared to others. For people who want to try and get better and improve.

Maybe put a disclaimer or warning when people queue up for ranked, such as "This is not a normal game, people in this mode are more competitive in nature. If you can't handle a competitive scene then do not queue up for this game. Pretend its gym class and go sit on the bleachers."

Just my 2 cents.

[Edit]

I forgot to add another thing that annoys me. When your down 3 kills and 1 turret at 12 minutes and for some reason your team wants to FF pre 15 and you hit no. So they call you a troll and decide to run it down mid and intentionally feed and you report them and nothing happens. It's not like this doesn't happen often either.

I've been down 10k gold, 15k gold, 20k gold, I've been down 4 players to 5 many times. And many of those games turned into victories, simply because 1 of their players got caught out and picked. Its freaking SOLO Q. Its not League of Legends Super Pro League Challenger Level TSM Squad your playing against. People make mistakes and throw games constantly.

Because I refuse to throw away 25 LP and some MMR rating in a 12 minute game that is not a definite loss yet its okay for them to intentionally feed and give me a free loss? The report button is a serious joke.

Trash talking is fine but leaving games is not. People afk too much already and there is no way for riot to say whether the afk is good or bad. If you dont have the mental capability to stay in game then dont play the game

IF the games lasts 40 minutes with a "Feeder" it was perfectly winnable and any frustration, flame and defeatism from minute 20 was completely pointless. The only reason to ever surrender is to prevent toxic opponents from staling.

The game lasts until the nexus is down, and you play until than! You're not important, there are 9 others on the map wanting a decent game. Noone cares for your whiny butt!

This game would so much more enjoyable and interesting without getting those defeatists every second game! You want to get out of "lost" games, fine! Go play Fortnite! Don't play a team game if you're unable to play in a team!

Not even the 9 year olds in the neighboring football club walk of the field when they go 0-2 in the first 10 minutes!

Alt+F4. Leaverbuster penalties don't start kicking in unless you leave regularly and habitually (and if the game ends within a couple minutes of you exiting, it doesn't even count for LB)

Okay, so make up your mind already. Do you want people to be able to leave games they don't want to play anymore, or do you want people to sack up and take it seriously?

I've been down 10k gold, 15k gold, 20k gold, I've been down 4 players to 5 many times. And many of those games turned into victories

And many, many more of them did not. I can't blame people for not wanting to slog through 30 minutes of misery in the off chance this is the 1 game in 10 that stands a chance of being turned around. With a 50%ish winrate, their time and rank is better served by getting into a new game then trying to fight out one that's far enough behind.

well one game i was playing udyr and was like 9/0 i got a quad and dove for the penta and i didn't make it my whole team spam pinged me and called me r%%%%%ed perhaps greedy yes but far from r%%%%%ed

the score was like 11/10 for the enemy team ie i was 1v9 that game after i got spam pinged i sent a surrender vote and it passed 5/5

i reported 2 of my team mates and got a notif later that they got banned was it worth losing? perhaps but i could have definitely won the game if i ignored them but for sure i hated the game for trying to carry complete tools

I can't really feel good playing normals knowing if i win it's just some dude on drugs blowing off steam problem is those people queue in for ranked too

so one thing id really want riot to implement is a Ranked mode ban and implement report options specific to ranked griefing giving up inting afk(not due to technical reasons and needs multiple offenses) should count towards ONLY to a Ranked ban and these bans should be twice as long than normal bans ie first offense not a 24h but a 48h 2nd offense not a week but a 4 week and have manual review when appealed

for being a toxic little shit there are chat bans for intentionally ruining competitive games you should get a competitive mode ban and game bans should be reserved for some really awful human beings

I can prove that the report button works my friend used to play league and on his first account he used he was screwing around and inting in a blind pick game where he went 0/17/3 it was his first account and he was level 14 and got a 14 day ban https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2876332664/1982488779671840?tab=overview

If you're on a lvl 30ish account just do it. There's no punishment if you don't do it often but I wouldn't risk it on a bling acc with 100+ skins

Ya know... No. There is no excuse to afk short of an actual emergency. Which, by definition, is a rare occurrence.

However, as for the "its only a game" nonsense. Those players need to play a different game or be given a mode just for them and not be allowed to play in a competitive mode. They are the cause of a huge amount of toxicity in games. Almost every time I play without all pre-mades, I see this happen. At least one player will blatantly troll, claiming it is "only a game." And others will become toxic or get frustrated and afk or start trolling as well, etc. It is a cascade that is made worse by horrible "balance" decisions over the last year. They really should not allow this in the game at all in any competitive mode.

It boils down to time really. Back when league was starting out the avg games ran for about 50 mins, and that made the whole game more easyer to deal with when it came down to all the different toxic issues. Let me explain how it was better.

First off damage was not as high back in the day. Tanks could take hits in team fights, and most champs could not be blown up so early into the game. So no matter if there was a person trolling, or making many mistakes the matches could be turned around if people played well, and build the correct items.

Another thing that we had back then was towers took time to break down. So that helped the whole team if a person was trying hard to feed a lane on purpose. a fed enemy would still have to take a longer time taking down the towers because of how strong they were. So that helped as a counter to the one fed lane, and allowed the rest of the team to have the time to farm gold, and take care of that fed champ.

Teams also had to work way harder in team fights, and not just spam a few buttons to down a tank in order to get to the back line. Right now tanks can be taken out very fast because the avg matches only go up to around 25 mins to 30 mins. See tanks need time to collect gold to get tank items in order to take more damage, but if they can't get the time to collect the gold and get those items then your avg tank is only going to be running there matches with 1 to 2 tank items. If most matches have people pushing hard to get the inhib after only 15 mins in with 10 kills lead then that puts tanks and other front lines in a bad spot because they only have 2 items so far, and what ever time is still up they have to be in the fight and not farming gold to get the other tank items.

I am sure your starting to see the point of why the game back then was better then today.

Yes we had trolls back then. Yes we had afkers back then. Yes we had many issues back in the day, but how the game was helped counter a large part of many of those issues, and that is also were most people had the don't give up until its over mind set. Comebacks were always possible because of how the towers were. How defensive tanks were, how ruins gave extra stats to all champs, How zoning was, and many other things.

It all boils down to time. If you don't have the time to get the items fast enough then you can't turn the match around.

Some may think I am right, and many others will think I am wrong, but when I play league to day vs back then with ruins, mastery trees, and tough high damaging towers the game was way easyer to deal with all the toxic issues that are in the game. Time did make a very big difference when it came down to how to handle every thing vs today when in 15 mins a inhib can already be down.
