Intentional sabotage in ranked games

Bdoom··3 votes·1,018 views

We all agree that people who intentionally try to sabotage games exist. I woke up this morning planning to play some fun ranked games this weekend.

First game: I had a 3 man bot with fiddle sticks and an annie support with an ashe. The fiddlesticks followed annie everywhere and he had flash clairvoyance. Second Game: 4 ragers with people all playing roles they don't want to play.

Lets look at the lineup for game 2: Top lane Malphite (he did well was pleasant compared to the other players) Jungle: Vi with devourer and then he built triforce and kept arguing and insulting the support and they just went at it all game Mid lane was me and I was playing Azir. I didn't do the best but this isn't a problem with me not winning, I know I could win if I played better possibly but this is about the fact that intentional feeders/griefers need to be removed from the game. ADC: we had a silver 5 draven playing against gold 2 jinx who was scripting.

Now while I'm the one sitting mid and trying to roam and help my team I have my whole team arguing with me and with everyone else. VI consistently called me and the braum support stupid. The draven just gave up and started building troll items like first item essence reaver and last whisper.

I want to know what riot is planning to do about these people? I was once a very nasty player but then I got banned and was able to think about what I did wrong and I learned to take breaks. I am no longer toxic. But why do I have to play with this? Don't give me the bullshit of "if your good enough you can carry bad players" yes I can carry "bad" players but there is a difference between a bad player who is trying to work together and listens to what you are saying and a intentional griefer.

What do you guys think about this? Have you experienced it yourselves?

i don't see why you just randomly say jinx was scripting. I'm sure she just outclassed draven is all.

I had a last-pick go Vayne JG with no smite because he was "dodge-baiting" and then he blamed us for not dodging since he "used his." Basically, he decided to sabotage us intentionally, hoping someone would give up the lobby. There should be a REAL report option for players like this. I reported him for Assisting the Enemy Team but he didn't intentionally feed so I doubt he'll get punished for ruining our game.

That's just a little detail that may be debatable. The part that I am more focused on is the fact I am bullied into playing with toxic pieces of shit (because of the system). If I dodge I lose LP and fall down in ranking. The system punishes people who are trying to be the better person and not interact with toxic players. I feel that Riot cares more about making money than they do about getting rid of toxic players.

Nothing. I've been playing for almost 1 year and the toxicity in this community is rising. I haven't seen any improvement so far. 3 out of 5 games there is always at least one feeder, troll, rage quitter, or someone having ping issues which causes you to lose the game. I think its the nature of MOBA games. Either you gotta deal with it or stop playing this kind of games.

One time, I had lost my promos due to an afk (I actually lost my entire promos to afks, but the first one is irrelevant). I queue up for another game, and guess who is there? It's the afk that lost me my promos. So I'm pissed cause I just lost my promos so I do my best to throw the game. Like I do really fucking bad. 40 minutes later, we're somehow winning, so I think to myself "No matter how big of a douche that afk was, their team does not deserve to win." So I decide to go from a negative impact to a slightly positive one, and 5 minutes later we win.

Yeah I agree. There should also be a unanimous vote option for both sides of a team to vote on whether or not a game is fair. If it is deemed unfair by a unanimous vote the game should be loss prevented for both teams.

I emailed riot yesterday about this constant problem. I hope I didn't come off as a rager because I am not. Neither was it my goal to insult riot on how they run their game. My goal is to question the problem and bring it to the attention of them. I just want an answer as to what is being done to make it more fair for people who want to work as a team vs people who want to intentionally sabotage the game for others.
