Had my worst experience in league today

Boo Koo God··58 votes·15,392 views

I load into the last game of my promos. My mid laner is hovering Yasuo and our jg bans it. An argument in chat happens over this and to be honest I did not read it. If it was not my last promo I would have dodged.

The yi as soon the game starts says your welcome for the - lp. He stands dead center mid feeds a kill, runs back does it again, The support fiddle took his blue because yi is trolling. Made things even worse as then yi came bot and fed two kills. Yi goes top and does the same thing. Yi made clear decisions and threw fights on purpose for the sole reason that he could. He was just another smurf that ruined another game.

What really ruined the whole game for me was the enemy mid laner. As soon as it was five minutes in the guy starts begging in all chat for us to open and just ff. Says he deserved the win the yi was giving them since he was trolled a game earlier. I was disgusted the guy was more focused on trying to get us to just stop playing rather than just play. It was not a competitive game of league of legends it was a joke. The vel was not playing to get better or playing to win. The vel was more toxic than the yi as he afkd and all chatted he was going to make lunch. he did. In post-game chat, he harassed and bragged about the win.

If yi even played seriously for five minutes we would have won the game. I am tired of having my time wasted and ruined by one person. Solo/duo is supposed to be the competitive mode of league but it is more of a gamble than anything. I will happily lose any game where my whole team tried. Whereas I'm sick and tired of one person ruining the whole gameplay experience because they think they're more important.

I am done being harassed and tormented by my own teammates. I was cheated out of a promo game today and there is nothing that will be done. I am being cheated out of games. My time is being wasted. I have no impact in the game when a single feeder makes it impossible to win. I want change, I want to be able to play a game of league that is not going to be sabotaged by people that are supposed to help me win.

It is not the lack of balance and the overloaded damage that ruins league for people but the players and the lack of care from riot.

When everyone treats it like a joke, laughs at it like a joke, thinks it a joke, It is a joke. Ranked in a nutshell this season.

4/26 update.

Had three people rage quit today three different games happening too much for ranked to be fair.

4/27 update First game of the day a guy locks in thresh top and the support goes kogmaw and says I'm tired of trolls and doesnt do anything but sit in jg and refuses to play.

Riot allows/encourages smurfs to exist + ungodly shitty balance "decisions" = you have a failure of a supposedly "competitive" game.

Do not play ranked. Just don't. I know it's addicting. I know you want to prove everyone you can do better, but it's the same as a loser saying to himself "i'll definitely win at that slot machine" in vegas. No guys. Game's rigged against you either purposely or not from the start.

Do not participate. Play normals or ARAM. believe it or not it's alot less toxic and less afk-feeding pieces of shit.

Weird thing is. It's less toxic because it's less competitive. I can only speak for me. But I always play to win(while trying to have fun). Ppl in ranked should always be playing to win(while trying to have fun lol).

Boo Koo God2 votes

Yes in ranked it is about winning. But there will always be some who just say " It's Just a Game"

Boo Koo God1 votes

I can not help but play ranked I played league collegiately for two years and helped develop the team for the university. I enjoy playing this game yes. This game when played with a real team is great but because of that emphasis on team play solo/duo has suffered IMO.

Saianna2 votes

im not telling you to stop play LOL. Just skip ranked. Normals or ARAM can be just as, if not more, competitive than ranked. They have their own MMR. There is no bullshit promos. And usually ppl are less toxic than ranked.

Riot has to understand they have to act, cause they fucked up. They know they fucked up, but as long as ranked playerbase is strong they won't bother.

That's all.

The thigh guy9 votes

Just remember. He won’t be punished for it either. Because riot doesn’t actually punish anyone. Unless you point out to someone who is inting that they are inting. Then you get mutes. :D

Warpes9 votes

Apparently calling someone a griefer or trolling is punishable though. You can't point out that a player legitimately said they're running it down mid now or "have fun with the loss", or else you're the one that gets bans.. while that player gets away scott free every time, no matter what they admit to.

Most amazing rito logic

Ninjas Flossing2 votes

you don't need to point it out. one report is all it takes for that game to be checked and used as a piece of evidence for determining a ban. actively interacting in the scenario in any way is unnecessary. just keep your mouth closed and your enter key unused, report him, and move the hell on.

pointing out just make you a target. you end up a target? you'll want to defend yourself and the entire time you'll look like an idiot but feel justified. THAT is when you'll say something equally toxic and be reported for it. you wont even realize you did it. and it could just be avoided instead.

gragaaaaaaaas3 votes

and thats why Rito system sucks. And people like you never get it. So I have a feeder I can't even say yo dude can you relax and just play please? Stop feeding please (if they actually clearly are)? etc. ... but noooo. I gotta sit back and take it. Just like every other sh*t person in the game tossing around sexism, racism, clearly verbally abusive words around. Just sit back and suck it up or you get punished too.

Meanwhile the real world. And every other game in the world. You can defend yourself. But not here. You get to log in and be a punching back for legit ignorant terrible people.

Boo Koo God1 votes

You make a wonderful point. When the feeder is on your team all you can do really is report after the game. If you goad the troll or feeder on it only makes it worse. SquishySquish you even bring up that "you'll want to defend yourself". It is true many players do not want to be bullied around online but at face value, it is just another troll it should not be taken personally as you say.

Retaliating against the troll like the fiddle did in my game only made the troll want to troll more.

Teammates that do no actively ruin the game on purpose. Opponents that would rather play a real match than have no honor.

Pretty much this. Communication is key, and muting everyone is literally condemning yourself to a lack of map awareness and important queues. People should not be insulted because they are playing a competitive game -- the anonymity on the Internet is what enables it, and such anonymity is not simply going to be removed. So there must be according punishments to people who are just flat-out dicks. No one should have to change the way they play just to avoid other people -- it's a TEAM game and a TEAM, must stick together, even if it's only for a game or grudging through a hard game.

Impossible.

Have you thought of playing a 1v1 game? I've found they drastically decrease the amount of people you have to deal with.

how is sitting in base and flaming because the game is already lost more toxic than inting?

Rakaalicious2 votes

You’re down a player, and not helping. It’s not worse but it’s still toxic

Thefrostyviking3 votes

Game is already lost at that point so its kinda pointless to blame the guy at that point.

Like blaming a guy for escaping a house that someone else set on fire.........

Boo Koo God1 votes

If you are referring to the velkoz i mentioned. It was not him sitting in base and all chatting that upset me. What upset me is my opponent does not even want to play for a win and would rather beg and plead for us to ff.

NSFWaifus3 votes

The sad thing about the current meta is that its a TEAM GAME meta. There is no longer a solo carry god mid or top, it's all about playing like a team and carrying yourself. You can't carry feeder/trolls anymore. When you get one in your game, you should prolly get ready too ff at 20 [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Boo Koo God3 votes

I think this is a glaring issue as well. Before you could cancel out a bad player by still playing well. Now because one person is behind or fed you will not have the damage or utility to even still compete with the enemy team.

gragaaaaaaaas3 votes

Well this forum post is probably reportable. According to Rito policy the feeder has more protections than you.

Accusing him of feeding even though he literally fed and said he was going to feed more? How dare you ask him to stop! How dare you suggest he is a feeder! Lets start with giving you a chat ban, or maybe a two week ban. We'll take some honor way. Make you admit your wrongdoings. Then maybe you'll learn not to call feeders.. feeders. That is the Rito way. Either accept being a punching bag for the garbage that lives in this game, or play something else.

Edit: and don't forget the white knights bound to show up in any post like this telling you "just mute its so ez, you control how you respond to feeding/inting/racism/sexism/etc." .. yeah. If you mean I gotta suck it up and not dare utter a single word back to that person. Then probably get queued with them next game again.

Im pretty sure since i use no summoner names and only talk about my experience its not reportable. I am not inciting anger to the people that trolled i just wanted to share what playing league has been like for me.

Been saying it since season 3. Throwing chat bans on "toxic" chat only isn't going to fix the toxicity problem in the game. But, nobody wants to hear it. Now here we are in season 9 and the game is by far more toxic because people only want to focus on chat related offenses.

Boo Koo God2 votes

I would rather them allow all sorts of shit talking cause it comes with the game. I agree that chat bans do nothing. the player who is inting is till ruing the game for others.

LaceUpXX1 votes

We can just mute shit talking. So I'm not sure why 100% of the emphasis is put into it. Especially because thinking that going specifically after chat related offenses would solve the issue is just stupid.

Agree 100%. I used to ONLY verbal abuse... never soft int or RQ. I'm bitter about the system so now I'm more toxic.... oh well. And yeah I get banned every so often.... who cares.. I havent bought RP in 3 years... and they will never get a dollar from me again.

Slogg3 votes

Don't worry, once they can abolish anyone from saying mean things to these trolls in chat, they will stop inting/trolling! It's been a super successful strategy, they're almost at the finish line.

Baron Barian2 votes

Looking at his history, he seems to int quite a bit.

But, all you can really do is report him for it. As long as enough people from different games do it, it's all that can be done, or else riot will just never know,

But now that the worst of it is over, the most important thing to do is not allow it to affect your future games so the one guy doesn't ruin games he isn't even in.

Warpes5 votes

except that riot doesn't ever actually ban people like him. they will say things like "it's very difficult to determine an inter, vs someone just having a bad game" even though all they'd have to do is take ONE LOOK at the chat logs

one game and one sentence like "you took my red buff? now i feed your lane" should be all it takes for that person to get a perma ban, and this community would 1000x better off

and they really should be watching replays of players reported for inting more than once or twice in a week.. but no, riot with all it's revenue doesn't have the resources for this.

Speeedy2 votes

thats the worst part, and drives me up the wall. I had someone who had 16 deaths in a 20 min ranked game and that wasn't cause for inting ban after a support ticket. Tower diving with no minions over and over again is somehow not inting in the first 10 min when you give up 8 deaths to the enemy mid laner. The system is a joke and needs to be more strict.

Groove Crusader2 votes

In situations like that all you can do is play your best and go next. Eventually the dice roll is going to drop in your favor and the worst thing you can do for yourself is get tilted off of it.

And this is from someone who lost 2 promo sets in a row because of trolls.

IainG103 votes

Just because the best thing you can do is not tilt and go next, does not mean that it should EVER have been allowed to get this bad.

It's quite clear that at least some of the decision-makers at Riot and/or Tencent care fuck all for their playerbase.

gragaaaaaaaas2 votes

Well I forget his name. But that idiot brainiac consultant they had here trying to run psychological profiles and build freudian logic into the game just made it 100000x worse. It did nothing to reform folks. But dang did they love to tout how much of a genius he was and let him sh*t all over the game for a couple years pissing everyone off.

FioraWillCarry

I won a game to day because of trolls. And I've won many a promo because of trolls, afks and feeding shitheads. I don't see the problem here. You can't stop people from being assholes but at least you will win as many games and you'd lose because of them.

Boo Koo God17 votes

The problem is not being trolled and losing games or facing trolls and winning them. The problem is overall these issues ruing player experience and gameplay. I'm a veteran of this game and not in shock of the trolls. As a veteran, it is just getting worse and not getting any better.

WAZZZUP5004 votes

How selfish can you be? It's not a problem because it happens to your enemies?

FioraWillCarry1 votes

You cannot fix this. If it were possible to fix this then we'd also have a 100% crime free world with no wars and everyone would be peace loving free love hippies. These thing have human nature at their core, something we cannot and should not try to change. You put a bunch of people together and force them to interact and you will get a shit storm eventually. Video games and other online communities are no different. Our nature doesn't just vanish the moment we go online, we take it with us.

So rather than complain and make these useless threads over and over and over again, it's better to trying and work with it the way most of us have to deal with the shit reality that is daily life. Realizing that you stand to win just as much as you'd stand to lose is a step in the right direction.

It took me years to realize this and I even used it to my advantage and actually got an account to Gold for the first time this season by taking advantage of this phenomenon.

Look, you can either come here and cry till you're blue in the face about feeders, trolls and afks or you could accept the reality and try to work with it. But if you'd rather waste the time bitching and complaining, then go right ahead. Don't let me stop you.

WAZZZUP5001 votes

Don't use excuses like "human nature" and "shit reality" to justify your shitty attitude. The key difference between humans and animals is that we can willfully defy our nature. Get your head on straight.
