Anyone noticing a massive increase of trolls/afk/feeders in ranked? How can It be this bad? I just had a Yasuo go 0/5 mid before 10 minutes in the game with no communication, and after that we were ahead all game until our Lucian decides to afk mid game handing the game to the other team. Usually I'm cool about this but I have been starting to get really pissed off lately. You can't just "Carry harder" when someone leaves the game, that means free split push and they can take objectives until they are strong enough to overpower you just because you get out manned. People give up way too fast in this game too.. just because they are ahead 1 or 2 kills doesn't mean you should stop trying and afk farm all game, and for god sake USE WARDS... wards literally save lives and can change a game around entirely.

Haven't noticed a large amount of trolls / afk's. Maybe one in every ten games or so. Been playing since S3 and I've never seen a large amount; it's frustrating when it happens, but I believe the majority of the complaining are inflating their alleged "Majority of games have trolls / afk's".

I'm in Bronze though, maybe people afk more at higher elo's?

Edit: Ouch OP - soap box about warding immediately following a game where you dropped the least on your team? TWO? http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1787389662/43177211?tab=stats

most players are just really bad low elo also tends to tilt harder so you gotta keep it even headed and just play your own game worry about your own score and what you can do to improve some games will have those uncarriable games but i cant count on both hands how many 4v5's ive won because ive not only had alot of kills and farm but i snowballed that into the other lanes to the point where i could 1v4 even if i have a 4v5

It's an observational bias. It only seems like there are more, because they stand out. You feel every single affect when someone AFK's on your team; however, if an enemy member AKFs, you may not be aware of it until you are suddenly steamrolling them and see that someone on thier team is only lvl 10 with 3 items or something like that.
