Matchmaking Idea To Re-Direct Tilting
Is anyone else tired of matchmaking teaming you up with toxic adcs, junglers who don't gank, Yasuos mid laners who feed trying to 1v5, top laners who complain when the team loses 4v5 fights but refuse to group? Well here's an idea:
Why doesn't Riot come up with a system to flag behaviors and group people with similar flags? Examples: People who show a certain level of toxic behavior will be grouped. People who refuse to participate in large objectives (dragons, rift herald, barons) will be grouped. People who don't group during game will be grouped. People who have vision scores of 1-5 in 40 minute games will be grouped (believe it or not, I've seen it). People who go AFK during games will be grouped. People who feed will be grouped. People who receive a lot of honors will be grouped.... Etc.
What would be the point of this system? Well for one, players who are not toxic, do not feed, and try their best to win won't have to deal with people who do the opposite. With this system, people who don't tilt others will have a lower chance of being tilted which encourages positive behavior. Also, people who do tilt others will get a taste of their own medicine. Maybe with a system like this, people who exhibit unwanted behaviors will be so sick of dealing with players like themselves, that they'll want to improve how they play the game or interact with others.
Just think about it. If people who don't group are on the same team, they will eventually learn that trying to do their own thing in a team-based game will most likely not win them the game. If people who trash talk others are on the same team, they will eventually learn that spending so much time typing takes away focus from the actual game, which makes winning so much harder. If people who go AFK during games are on the same team, they will eventually learn to not give up because none of them would win games with no one doing anything. If people who do nothing but farm all game are grouped, they will eventually learn that objectives make it easier to win, and hopefully want to improve their game-play. If people who do not ward are grouped, they will eventually learn that they are being picked off one-by-one because no one is providing vision. If Yasuo mains players who feed are grouped, they will eventually... hopefully... possible... try to feed less and less every game (maybe).
Sure tilting players will be more tilted because they are grouped with people like them. But the important thing is that people who respect others and make the game worth playing will have the pleasure of not being tilted so much because they will be grouped with people like them. Sure this idea may seem complicated for whoever would have to engineer it but at least it is more punishing that the current report system, where people get away with going AFK by running in circles at the fountain or get away with playing Yasuo feeding by engaging in 1v5s and saying "I tried" in chat.
Of course this is just an idea but knowing how the League community is... [sg-lulu] I'm ready for the flame guys so go for it xD
