After blocking a user, please do not que me with them again.

CabÖÖse··165 votes·11,473 views

After I game with a very toxic or trolly user I always make sure to report and block that user. To my surprise I usually end up playing with that person on my team within a couple hours.

If I hate my experience with a user so much that I choose to not only report him but also to block that user. Can you please adjust League so I don't cue with that person as well? At the vary least so that User is not on my team?

I play in bronze 5, because I suck, this means i'm stuck with allot of trolls. I also get to play with allot of other fun user's who just need some more practice as well. Weather I win or lose a match, playing with a truly toxic player is never fun. Afterwords I make sure to block that player so I do not have to re-create that experience. But I end up seeing them on my team again soon. But this time I cannot see what they are saying, which is sometimes nice, but not when they call out teemo adc in the chat. I don't see this troll choice so I lock in with an adc. So now not only do I have to play with this troll but now i've also screwed myself even more.

It will never be implemented because it's so easy to abuse. Example: Someone is mad and salty that he a feeder on his team aka a person who had a bad game. These people would simply false report them so the system wouldn't match them together anymore.

I recommend taking a 2 minute break to decrease the odds of matching with said player or play another short game for 5 min before queueing again.

It cannot ever be fully implemented because of abuse but maybe a version of this can be implemented. What if everyone had 30 people they could never play with again. the last 30 people you blocked maybe? This will at least stop you from being able to make perfect teams and what not. While still making it a little better for the user experience. While I do totally agree with waiting before quing the next game. I still have this issue. Usually not in the next game. But I play this a fair amount. I also have stuck to B4 and B5 this season (Because I suck lol). Every game I que, I tent to end up playing with 2-3 Users who have played with me at least once. As of this point its becoming regular for me to not ever hear from some troll player on our team who insta locked a lane that was already taken. Then when the game is over I find out that I had already blocked him.

R110, Caboose, what he is saying is if a player is on your block list then you won't que up with him again. Also, if the person feeds, then you report them for "Intentionaly Grefing: Feeding."

Pvt Yong Tai1 votes

No, you do not report people for "feeding" unless they are INTENTIONALLY GRIEFING by means of feeding.

I have seen people go 0/7 in lane when they were honestly trying. I have gone 0/7 myself, too, while trying my darndest (I remember... Veigar vsLeblanc way back in the day). Sometimes the enemy player is just that much better. So just because someone's K/D is bad doesn't mean they are intentionally feeding. They would only be intentionally feeding if they die out alone, don't help in fights they CLEARLY should be helping in (e.g. Support is right next ADC, within fighting range but just stands there doing nothing and dies), don't follow comms, etc.

I have played at every tier from bronze to plat and many people, especially in bronze/silver, are SUPER quick to say "omg report _____ for intentional feed" when he's 0/3 in lane. In team chat I often also hear, "______ you're trash, uninstall" and "never play ranked again". I mean, really. If you think about it, those are terrible things to say. Why would you say that to your teammate? That's like asking for a loss. If someone says that to anybody, team morale is being lost, and you risk losing the game for yourself.

I've actually won many games where my teammates have fed in lane, by encouraging them nicely (keyword: nicely). It's amazing what you can accomplish with good team morale.

Anyway, I've been rambling a tad too much.

I'd rather have a teammate that goes 0/7 in lane but at least tries to bring it back in mid-late game and ends with 2/12/9, than have a teammate that goes 24/5/2 and gives himself to enemy team for free at late-game, saying "gg scrub teammates don't deserve the win".

But if they are really that bad, "Unskilled Player" exists for a reason. You should use that instead.

THANKYOU! First match on Bots, i went 3/18/5 (yes, all of us sucked that bad if we didn't do the tutorials and had played the game only once about 1-2 months ago) and half my team told me to uninstall. other half went AFK. #AFKandAHolesFTW(notRealyTho)!

What if it just didn't que you up with them for a certain amount of time? That way you wouldn't have to stop at a certain amount of people, and rito doesn't need to add another menu for a block list to the game. c:

This should be applied not only to outright blocking someone, but to reporting them as well. There have been several times recently where ive reported someone who was trolling or raging in a game only to be matched with them immediately afterwards. I mean, really?

OmManiPadmeHum7 votes

+1 I agree. there are so may kids I have blocked because of attitude, gameplay and overall maturity. I would LOVE it if I did not get these players again too.

I'm in gold and I still experience this and it is very frustrating.

UPfreely5 votes

they could do this with bronze/silver/gold but you start running into problems in the higher brackets due to smaller player base

Borfin5 votes

I get why this happens in ranked.

I do NOT get why normals I have to deal with the same racism-slinging shit stain after I block the twit.

Riot's playerbase isn't exactly hurting for quick queues in Blind

that would make life in challenger so easy

Colgate Gator4 votes

My friends and I had the wrong assumption that when you blocked someone, the system made you not queue up with them again, this was disproved when I caught notice of people in my team being muted for some reason from the start of the game, I got curious and unmuted them, then muted then back when I realized why I had muted them in the first place.

My friends still think that though, no matter what I say.

mvargus4 votes

My one recommendation is that should you ever end a game where someone was trolling/raging don't immediately queue back up for another game. Wait a few minutes so that the troll can get into a game. It isn't perfect, but it greatly reduces the chance of running into the same people immediately.

I've had a couple times where I've had consecutive games with trolls, and the second game is never an improvement over the first.

They should do this in normals, but not ranked in my opinion.

It will not be implemented because in the highest tiers the player population is very low and this could certainly lead to abuse.

Oh noes. Poor top 1000 players. :( The benefits for 40 million players should definitely take a backseat to this group because they are better at this game.

Orangesilk2 votes

No but, listen here.

The whole sales pitch Riot has going with this game, and the reason it values Esports so much is because it's trying to sell league as a competitive game, what does this mean? This game is a test of your skills as a gamer (I know ranked is 99% grind, but I'm talking about what riot is trying to sell) your placement indicate your skill at this game, and the very top players are the most skilled, and you want to get good, learn a lot of champions, and prove you're the best by playing there.

That whole idea would crumble if there was such an easy exploit as "Yeah, block bad people, gain ELO" at the highest tiers, this couldn't stand as a competitive game. You might not be into LoL for this reason, but their marketing polls have likely determined competitiveness is the main draw to this game (That's why they have champ bundles like, the most broken LCS champs) and as such, for Riot, keeping the high tiers of play a healthy competitive environment is a top priority.

THAT is why this isn't gonna happen.

(And because Riot does not support discrimination against unskilled players, which is most likely what this system would lead to).

SWEAR TO GOD1 votes

How about an implementation where the blocked players only get queued on the opposing team to those who blocked them? Eventually they would all be happy and together in one big abusive family?

pE4CbxDPQO3 votes

People saying "abuse xyz abc", only in challenger will this matter. There are thousands of people queued up to play at the same time as you. It doesn't need to pick the same person.

Vuks2 votes

Other option would be not a permanent lock-out, but a 12 hour lock from being queued both with and against the player. Abuse possibilities highly decreased, yet this would need to be off in plat/diamond+, due to the mentioned playerbase being too small.

This is my first season actually playing ranked and it seems like the trolls are quite a bit fewer than in normals. It's funny, I've read a lot of comments and seen a lot of videos talking about how "positivity" plays a big role in victory in this game but I never noticed how true it was until this season. I got really lucky and had some great teams that were really funny and nice to play with and we won every single time. Then my most recent game I had a player literally tell me to shut the fuck up during champ select when I politely requested to play support. I was last pick and forced to play adc even though I warned my team from the get go that adc was my least experienced position. The same player who had been so negative in champ select ended up being my support, he kept making really bad plays and dying, feeding our lane. He verbally harassed me throughout the entire game insisting that he was dying because of me, eventually started harassing the rest of the team as well...and of course we all ended up losing around 20 minutes in.

I honestly don't mind losing, I don't mind being outplayed. A good game is a good game regardless of win or loss...but losing due to toxic team members is such a terrible experience and it makes me want to just quit playing.

So not to derail the OP's topic, but for all you summoners out there...if you want to win, treat others with respect, listen to your team mates, and don't harass them if you start to lose a game. S5 is about come backs, and yelling at people just helps the enemy team.

I think in the long-term, the idea is that reporting would bring some form of disciplinary consequences that would make the toxic player reassess their behaviour and become a better member of the community after their disciplinary period is over, but of course that does nothing in the short term and you probably would still play with them for a few games. There really should be some sort of short-term solutions, but that sounds like a lot of work for Riot to implement a system like that. At the very least there could be some sort of indicator beside a player's name that shows you reported/muted/blocked them before, right? Then at least you're alerted and maybe you can choose to dodge queue? Is it bad that I find it satisfying when the tribunal disciplines a toxic player?

it's abusable to cheat matchmaking

Tentacle Love2 votes

There might be enough players in the low ELO's to make that work, but in the higher ELO brackets that would utterly destroy matchmaking and enable teams to seriously hardcore wintrade.

Then again, if a truly toxic player ended up in a very high elo, they'd be incapable of playing if everyone in their bracket had blocked them. That would be an utterly hilarious consequence of their actions.

Leoland2 votes

This NEEDs to be implemented. it is NOT as exploitable as some think and the main victim of the longer queue times is the blocker not the blockees or the general community. i would rather a 40 min queue than to be queued for 40 minutes with a troll who ruined mine and 8 other peoples game.

BallisticMouse1 votes

This won't be a feature because at higher, and even lower, ranks it will be abused to make perfect teams or no teams at all from how many people you blocked.

shark music1 votes

And you mute someone, and then get to the post-game lobby, and they're unmuted again and right back to screaming insults while you're trying to say, "gg that was fun", like a decent human being! Which part of mute was too difficult to be implemented correctly? For a company that says they're trying to clean up the toxic mess that the daycare hours of LoL (noon to midnight) represent, Riot sure does a lot of things that run directly counter to that concept.

As an alternative to the "wait a few minutes to queue again" suggestion, I would suggest switching games modes for a match. Twisted Treeline and ARAM are both fun, and neither has the same length as a regular match, so you're pretty much guaranteed to be desynchronized from the queue dink you're trying to avoid, while still getting to play the game.

I have been playing in high Elo since the end of Season 2, finishing the 2014 Season in Masters.

If this system or anything close to it would be implemented, the amount of abuse that would happen in Diamond 1+ would be disgusting. There's no feasible way to curb this . Frankly, I don't care about being in a game with someone toxic I blocked because I know how the system works and denying the validity of the system is not an intelligent way to go about things. You need to stop caring about being in a game with someone you dislike because that's just a waste of emotional energy; if that person trolls you, just accept it, report and move on. Be glad this there's such system in place to deal with misfortunes. This will rarely happen and if you care about your win rate, then the same amount of trolling would occur to the enemy team.

This change would be incredibly unfair to those who playing at Diamond 1+. This change would make the top level solo queue scene uncompetitive and makes matchmaking a lot more chaotic among other problems. I really don't want to wait longer for a queue when I already have to wait 10 minutes sometimes and I also don't want people to get more LP than they deserve because they have a nice list of people they feel that don't meet their standard of play. This WILL get abused and this WILL cause problems on a large scale.

i agree u shouldnt be re qued with someone you blocked and i started a post awhile ago about it. im b4 with 400+ games and 50% win rate and i block people because they are bad and dont want to be stuck with them again.

Anyway, I agree. +1

Flameelf1 votes

Everybody wants to play with good players. But if you can choose who you can que with, that will make this game very inbalanced. Most importantly, it will significantly increase the que waiting time as the system has to filter all the blocked players in your list.

Uiru1 votes

I've taken to blocking people who are either profoundly awful at the game or just at being decent human beings, and to be honest I've only ever seen one guy pop back up and it was weeks later. And I'm gold V ranked / somewhere in high plat normals (I assume, I get diamonds all the time and have seen a few masters, but thanks to Riot for making this information that I want impossible to retrieve!) so it's not like I'm in the largest playerbase either.

And as much as I'd like this to go through, the endgame is everybody blocks people who do shit -> everybody starts getting blocked by other people because nobody realizes how shit they are -> eventually everybody is waiting forever with a queue that just has them in it.

Now, that said, some kind of 72 hour cooldown period wouldn't hurt. (That's realtime, not gametime.) ~Uiru

Jinte1 votes

Lol think about high diamond + players then? How long are they going to wait for a queue if they block everybody? Don't just think for yourself.

2pudge1cup1 votes

Then maybe they shouldn't block everybody?

2pudge1cup1 votes

I can definitely see it working as long as the list is relatively small.

If it was every single mute/report then it would get out of hand. People already abuse the hell out of the report feature and use it as a "dislike" button.

It could easily just be a separate list apart from mute/report.

this system needs to be in place. last season i used my block list with a note book to counter pick bad apples on my team when i could. it helped a little bit. when the same people are on your team time and time again and feed each time they are on your team. i report people for feeding if they are playing bad and refuse to make smart decisions sooner than later. i hate the "im sorry i fed earlier im gonna play defensively now" guy. when he/she is already 0/6/0 and clearly was not trying to win. i report those people for feeding all day long. i think you shouldnt be paired with anyone on your block list. if i wait 15 more minutes in a Q then so be it. id rather the 15 to get people who have a LOL IQ greater than that of a raisin.
