In-Game voting system

Lucifmrrrrr··1 votes·905 views

There needs to be an in-game voting system, much like the surrender, for someone on either team for being AFK or intentionally feeding the opposing team. I was recently in a game where our jungle Udyr got upset about something someone said in game so that player started running into enemy turrets and giving the other team kills. This was a ranked game.

This will give players in game more peace of mind that their 4v5 might turn into a loss prevented or the feeder on their team will get a loss while the rest of the team will get a loss prevented. The voting system should be viewable by both teams, with a majority of the total players agreeing that the player in question is actually a feeder/is AFK. This will prevent a team voting on one person just because they started loosing, and should encourage sportsmanship across both teams.

I know this is a team game, and sometimes you don't get the best teammates and you have to overcome that. That is just how the game works. But a 4v5 is a lack of a teammate, or an essential 6v4 with a feeder is not part of the fairness of the game. For a player to lose ranking because they got the feeder isn't fun for the whole team.

EDIT** This should be in place for RANKED GAMES (Solo Que) only.

I think putting this in ranked would be kinda cool, and 1 vote per duo group only.

Putting in normal would be harder since they would be dealing with premade 3/4/5 which is not all that easy to control. Not to mention it's norm, not the first place to be the most competitive.

That's why you shouldn't say any thing. Saying any thing doesn't change any out come. If it did then over the years there would have been changes, but guess what. All saying some thing does is get players to not give a crap. I mean why should your teammate care if the rest of the team don't like them as a player? I just let players die when they start talking crap. Its a game. So does not bug me any more if you all lose because you like typing to a player how bad they are.

Its not about liking someone as a player, that is more team communication/teamwork. That stuff I expect and want to stay a vital part of the game. Feeding has no place in ranked games, simple as that. If you as a player cant be a part of the ranked community and try to play a game without feeding, then you have no place in there.

Although I think this would be a nice idea, why would the opposing team agree to kick someone who is feeding them? Granted some players don't want it to be as easy as a rogue enemy, but how many players are going to give up free kills in a ranked match? Interesting concept though....I think there should be some way to deal with rogues for sure.

I was thinking the vote would be for the loss prevented, not for kicking the player from the game. So the player would continue to play the game, even after the vote.

More into that, after a feeder has been voted on and agreed upon that the game is a loss prevented, that feeder might stop because the game no longer means anything to the losing team. But a player cant intentionally start feeding just because his team is losing. That is why both teams have to agree and vote upon the feeder. i.e a player starts feeding which causes the loss, would be grounds for the vote.. but a player loosing then starts feeding is not grounds for a vote.

Ok that makes sense....I still have a hard time believing the opposing team is going to give up their free win though lol. This would have to be an option for non-bronze only rofl.
