Thumbs down for bad players

Xephier102··1 votes·556 views

I know that you can report players but I think that's a bit much. I mean it's not like Riot is going to ban players just for being unsportsmanlike. I like how there's a system for giving people thumbs up for being friendly and using teamwork and such and I feel that it would be beneficial to have a thumbs down for people that are being the opposite. That way people could "earn" badges for being unfriendly, using lack of teamwork, being unhelpful or being a troll.

Because Personally I'd rather wait out the 5 minutes that I have to for leaving a game queue than to spend 20+ minutes in a game with a complete troll that spends the bulk of the game KS'ing me.

I am not going to lie though, if this system was implemented then I'd likely have a lack of teamwork badge by now as I often insist on mowing down my own lane but I still advocate this idea as it would give people a better idea of whom they're about to get into a game with. But ya, just some form of badge system that would let people know that someone is a lone wolf like myself or that someone is likely going to go out of their way to ruin your game.

There's no such thing as a KS in league. You don't own kills. Stop being toxic.

If I get 90-95% of a kill and buddy comes along and last hits it when I was perfectly capable of doing so myself then that is a kill steal. If you don't possess the skill to get your own kill then PO and go to another lane.

But that's just it. If a player has a bunch of thumbs downs then no one would want to play with them and they can't even redeem themselves. Also, jerks might just use it to bash players who just didn't play well and that will also unfairly affect how much they will get kicked from a game. Not a good idea IMO.

Instead of merely discounting my idea as "not good", why not bring something useful to the table. Tell us how we can weed out the truly useless players in this game(because there are far too many of them - I don't just mean bad players I mean useless trolls). Also they could redeem themselves, just have a "redeem self" button that removes their banner for 5 games, if they don't get a downvote in those 5 games then their status would be reset. If they do get a downvote then they can't "redeem self" for another 2 hours or 1 day or something. The only uncontrollable variable to all that would be the trolls abusing the downvote system.

Hey. I did not "merely discount your idea as 'not good'". Pointing out problems can be just as a good as offering solutions. You offered a solution, I pointed out a problem in your solution, you came up with another solution addressing that problem. My work here is done.

I did actually, as discussions go I offered solutions to most the problems with the only "uncontrollable variable" being the trolls that would abuse the system. Sadly the trolls being the entire problem in the first place. So the trolls would abuse the system designed to weed out the trolls. UGH! K does anyone have good ideas to get the trolls out of this game??
