In what world does it make sense that if someone trolls in your game you get punished the same lp wise? If someone afks around the remake mark or hard ints aimlessly they lose the same lp as you no matter your score compared to the trolls. Is riot working on a fix for this or do they think their system works fine and is fine? I'm genuinely curious.
In short, I think Riot cares, its just a really hard problem to solve. Its difficult to differentiate trolls vs simply bad players, or even good players that are just in a rut (read: tilted). Or connection lag and I walked right into their turret. Or someone called in the middle of game and I had to answer.
And its not just a problem in league, the anonymity of the internet creates problems everywhere (see: politics. I won't go any further cuz this isn't the place for that).
But it sure does suck to be matched with trolls, even when they're on the other team. Riot and a few other big games companies (I think Blizzard was at least of of them) made a team together to try and find best practices for removing toxicity from their games. Not sure if anything has come out of it.
They've done some stuff to try to curb trolling, like adding a honor level requirement in order to receive rewards. Not sure how much of an effect thats had, if at all.
This is fine. For a few reasons.
A single anomaly like this game is not going to make a real discernible difference in your rank so long as you play enough ranked games over the course of the season.
Any attempts to actually do something about this would lead to more issues than you set out to resolve. Its best to just leave it as is, as youll either end up with something abusive players will attempt to exploit, or youll have a system set up as "if score = wood tier then fuck = you, everyone else = loss prevented". Score means literally nothing in LoL, and someone 0/30 could provide more for the team than someone who is 30/0. All that matters is the nexus.
The real issue is that that one game sucks, and it feels more impactful than it actually is.
