I love the 3 man premades in my ranked games who troll :) I love it even more how I can't surrender because they vote no because "they're having fun". I'm so glad we have this great system :)

While I understand the horrors of having a party of... What would you call it? Jerks? Yeah. Jerks. While I understand it, I don't think it's locked to Dynamic at all. You can get the same, maybe even more frequently, in blind pick and before in the original draft pick. It's a problem, yes, and I wish there was something other than reporting them, but sometimes there is also just not enough evidence.

That is precisely the issue though. We've known for years now that players playing normal game modes as a premade group tend to be uber trolly and uber toxic to the point that normal game modes have basically been unplayable except for a full 5 team for the past 3 seasons. This year we also turned RANKED into that bs mess. The problem was always that people are jerks, but Rito went and gave the jerks the ability to form gangs in all game modes this season. At least in the past if you ran into a jerk in ranked it was usually just the one. And one player trolling around, intent feeding, or afking, or whatever, can be overcome. Multiple on the same team? When they also hold the ff vote hostage? Particularly as a 4 some? Yeah, that's just asking for trouble.

Yes, they have known for quite some time that there is a problem with trolls going into games and hurting other people's experience, but what should they do? Remove group play as a whole? As for ranked, there is something to be said about allowing three or four players to go into ranked together versus what used to be only one, two, or five. Five man groups also had their own ranked mode, but I didn't hear much about it. The fix there would be only allowing two players maximum again and just admitting that maybe groups of friends shouldn't play ranked together and should instead stay with the much less competitive, friendly normal games. As for actual trolling and not just bad play or failed meta break? That does need to be punished and you should always report the specific rule break as well as leave comments in your report. They are read, they are important. If this is a repetitive thing, then in due time they should get punished, but I understand how stressful it can be when each person takes their chance on the roller coaster one at a time rather than just having a wave of people at a time. Did that make sense? If not then you'd have to see what I was thinking. My point is, it's a woe that we have to struggle with for a, dare I say, improving game.
