Matching forfeit ; After both teams lock in their champions they are prompt for agreement just as for accept a match, just this time the default "I Accept my team" is checked and u have a second option "I'm not giving this a chance". So if u are in the bathroom at that time you accept by default. If at least half of the team forfeit the match is canceled. Consequences are: The ones that voted against the team can not join a q in the next 7min. This can go on to infinite number of miss-matches with no further consequences. I rather re watch one of sp4zie's epic moments for 7 min than play a troll game for 20. The ones that **accept ** can continue joining a new queue right away up to 3 miss-matches, after what their ability to join a queue is on a 15 min cooldown. If 3 teams in a row didn't want u in their team u need to cool it off and re-think ur choices.

** Early game forfeit **; Between the 5th and 7th min in a match a team can go regular /ff . The wining team will get something around 1/5 of IP XP and LP that will otherwise get for @20 /ff. So this cannot be exploited time-wise as a free LP gaining system. The team that made a an early decision that the match is already lost will take 15 till the next queue.

The reason Im posting this is coz i run in to more and more complaints about the toxicity of the match making in League. I for one haven't played other games than league with ranking system and where optimal team-work is must have to win, so i cant really say or scale how toxic this game is.

But after hearing so much about the issues i think this can bring the toxicity to a cooler level, and will make match-trolling more time expensive; It will make playing more time expensive too but i think at least it wont be so disappointing and it wont feel like u cant do nothing about it. I for one will rather use my one hour for league I have playing bot games with my gf, or a badly matched ARAM, than to helplessly loose a ranked game and get furious coz of some random 10 y old on the internet.

This was an instant idea so pleas share your thoughts on how this can be exploited and counterproductive.

There needs to be an LP penalty for 'dodging' matches, including the voting thing you suggested. Otherwise, whenever anyone went remotely off meta the team would dodge just because they don't want to risk it. Further, a late pick who doesn't get the role they wanted could just act out in champion select (either troll, or claim they recently played with an early pick and he intentionally fed and players would rather dodge freely than risk it). Thing is, if you put in any penalty here why would anyone do the vote rather than just a straight dodge?

The early FF is unnecessary. You can't know that early (unless people are outright trolling, but then why would they surrender?). People throw. Or maybe your team is all at that elo because they're all garbage in lane and good in teamfights and the other team is at the same elo because they're pretty good in lane and garbage in teamfights. So what, you're down 6-0 at the 6 minute mark, they won't know how to push objectives or win teamfights with their lead and you'll stall out long enough to pull even and win with your late game skills (I've actually had games like this).

Matching forfeit is a bad idea. Don't know if you remember when ranked dodging had no penalties except time, but trolling was worse and it took ages to get into a game. Trust me, this will only make things worse. Early game forfeiting is generally pointless. Rarely will a game be completely hopeless before the 20 minutes mark and very rarely will it be hopeless before the 10 minute mark. I can pull out a few of my recent games where we were behind early, but by playing smart we managed to pull out a win. If you added in early game forfeits, those games probably would have been losses, because why play from behind when you can just quit and hope for a better game next time?

I completely disagree with the matching forfeit for 2 reasons:

It enforces the meta (season 3: "report this troll Annie support")

A large chunk of the game is being able to respond to opponent picks and picking a comp that counters theirs. This is part of the game will be completely destroy if there is only a time penalty for the time you get completely out-champion selected.

The game simply has to recognize when there is an afk in the match and offer some sort of resolution at the 5 minute mark (reduced LP/IP, or just an easy exit, I don't know exactly what). If you're getting completely destroyed, you should have to wait the 20 minutes. It's a reward for the other team playing well. Even if there is a troll, there should be no reduced LP/IP for the match. It just leaves too much of a grey area. Is 0-6 trolling? Or did they just get their ass beaten?

Well only bad thing i can think about is "No lifes" living only to press the NO button. but very thought out. i wouldnt like the Early game Forfeit because some people say its over when it can be turned around. i would only want this in ranked. because if its in norms.... then the Keep it Tight System wouldnt be able to keep the trolls out.

Why have surrender enabled only for a specific two minutes early game? Any reason you picked those specific minutes?

It's extremely difficult to read what you are saying. I honestly don't know how to respond.

'coz','U','q' are not words. They just make you sound immature and childish.

I'm not asking you to change your ways. I'm just going to ignore this thread moving forward.
