Anyone else tired of the game collapsing because of one idiot?

Riot really needs to sort this out. I can play with caution, infact, thats how I prefer to play League but there is ALWAYS some idiot in another lane that continually thinks he can win after already dying once before. What is this arrogant perception that people have, that they can win a fight they just lost.

"The definition of madness is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result."

Yet Riot has done nothing to curb snowballing. I fail to see why the WHOLE enemy team should benefit from one person being an idiot. Snowballing essentially causes a bullying environment where one player is picked on and killed over and over again and gets abused by both the allied and enemy team over and over again. The whole allied team gets mad because they do not have any agency for the rest of the game because of ONE person and the person in question experiences the full force of League's bullying against then.

Yet Riot doesn't nothing to stop snowballing, to stop these kind of behaviours from happening. It just shows current League games to be a complete waste of time when YOU play as careful or well as you need to and then somebody else goes and feeds continually over and over again to the point where the enemy team is completely unfightable?

This is supposed to be "fun" is it. All Riot has done is built a community with the obsession of "getting fed" when what is needed is safer team play. This game hasn't been fun for almost two years and Riot has done nothing to stop the ridiculous amount of snowballing the game.

They've done a lot to stop snowballing, actually.

When you farm somebody for gold, they're eventually not worth any gold anymore. There's literally zero benefit to killing them.

Turret plating forces people to stay in their lane even when they stomp somebody. Before, they would have roamed to a different lane to farm someone else for kills, but the turret plating keeps where they are because it not only incentivizes them to stay, but also punishes them if they leave. You may say "Wait, that doesn't stop snowballing at all, since they just get a ton of gold off the tower", but the important part is that they're not getting that gold off of YOU. They don't take their advantage to a different lane and start snowballing them, too. You get one fed player instead of 3-5.

The bounty system makes the player who is taking advantage of your feeding teammate a target. They give you a ton of gold for killing them, so if they get cocky and mess up, a more successful player can get a huge boost.

The reducing in the power of Baron buff early on makes it harder for players to take an early lead and use it to close out the game.

So there has never been a game where you just shat the bed, where you just fed your ass off and caused your team to lose?
