how to stop "feeders"

Arcade Andrew··1 votes·454 views

This is part satire part serious

Ever get those people who go 0/12/0 and just cant farm and lose lane terribly and didn't intentionally feed but they just are bad/ have some lame excuse like "first time X though haha"

Or " Im bad at X im goo at the 6 champs banned tho so whatever

or even "Im drunk/high IDGAF"

Well maybe its time for YOU riot to put an end to this by adding one simple rule

"Report for unintentional unskilled behavior"

IE: if somebody admits to being high or drunk they can be punished for doing poorly in that game even if they didnt do it on purpose

examples! (mainly applies to ranked play but can apply to normals aswell)

  1. A player can only play 6(or 10 soonTM soon?) champions and feeds can be reported and punished for this

  2. A player enters ranked and cant play every role

  3. a play is drunk or high would be punished if they do badly

  4. A player gets "countered" and refuses to stay under turret/constantly engages even after they are already behind

  5. A player lets a turret fall for no apparent reason

  6. A jungler that doesnt gank any lanes ever

  7. depending on the adc/supports playstyle

an overly agressive adc/supp or plays to passive adc/support

  1. going 0/10 then deciding "I want kills to" you take 2 or three kills then proceed to feed again (great hes worth gold again!)

  2. being a support and deciding you are the carry after accidentally getting a couple kills

  3. being the support and taking farm

  4. breaking the meta and being the reason you lost (read the summoners code for why I put this one)

  5. lagging without having had checked your internet

  6. wrong runes/masteries

  7. wrong spells

  8. giving up and trying to surrender a bajillion times when you arent that behind


Wouldnt it be great if riot actually punished people for being unintentionally bad?

And I dont mean they suck at the game I mean they do shit that is common sense not to do (dont chase the singed)

maybe with the threat of punishment people will actually take the game more seriously and no dick around (in ranked, Idc about your filthy casuals that you call norms)

Dang bro...why does it have to be "filthy casuals?" I'm sure its just a phrase you picked up somewhere...but it seems a bit "elitist" and thats about the nicest way i can put it. Quite frankly, most of the ranked community considers Bronze "filthy" and im sure you dont like it when they call you a "stupid bronzie" so im not sure why you insist on passing that crappy mentality down the river.

I'm not sure but i think a lot of this falls under "assisting the enemy team" and/or "negative attitude".

Some of the other stuff is kinda subjective ('breaking the meta and being the reason you lost').

I know you said its part satire but i'm not totally sure which is which, but yeah some of this i agree with although i'm not quite sure if its a rant or just a nicely ordered list or what have you.

about 95% of this is satire, hwoever anything where I included "(in ranked)" I was serious about

Ie: A player enters ranked and cant play every role

LOL, the rage is real here, I especially like 5-7 but here is the thing, people play the game however they want. Yes this effects you an your game experience and makes the entire team lose but what do you really thing Riot is going to do about it, they already have its called 5v5 rank team. Find a team an stay out of solo queue ... Problem solved. Trust me I understand what you are going through an everyone at some point has gone through this. It is really frustrating when your trying to climb solo queue especially, you just have to take your wins with your losses an if you don't like it make your own team or find a team an climb the 5s team queue instead of solo queue.

A: this post was 95% satire and not serious, the only parts that were serious were the parts about ranked (IE you shouldnt be in ranked if you cant play more than 10 champions and/or cant play every role)

B: Im not raging

C: finding a team is hard when everyone judges you on your yolo Q performance (high elos are a bunch of egotistical morons half the time)

D: SOME of these riot could enforce and punish you for since they are encouraging breaking the meta but in their summoners code they state that its ok to break the meta as long as it doesn't ruin your teams experience

IE you can go jungle soraka as long as you dont ruin the game for everyone else, but if you do you are held accountable for intentionally breaking the meta and being the reason you lost ... except they never enforce this rule

Okay, you say about 95% of this is satire. Well, I'm gonna pretend, for the sake of argument, that this was all serious and reply to each portion of your list.

"1) A player can only play 6(or 10 soonTM soon?) champions and feeds can be reported and punished for this" the first portion of this doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. "A player can only play 6(or 10 soonTM soon?)" and second, you can be considered feeding after only 2 deaths. So you die twice in game and you get reported for feeding. This is the glitch in your logic here. Some people consider dying twice in a row to be feeding. So, say you make a simple mistake, you die for the second time in a row. "REPORT THIS SH*T BAG HES FEEDING!" Your logic made this guy toxic and ruined the victims day.

"2) A player enters ranked and cant play every role" This is balanced by certain champs fitting certain roles. Also, this would stagnate the game if someone couldn't try out all the different roles. Some people start the game playin' top and maybe a few weeks or even a couple months later they discover they really enjoy mid. This particular rule would stop the games evolution.

"3) a play is drunk or high would be punished if they do badly " This one I agree and disagree. I agree because being drunk/high causes you to play badly. But on the other hand, should they actually be punished for wanting to have fun in their inebriated state?

"4) A player gets "countered" and refuses to stay under turret/constantly engages even after they are already behind" You realize sometimes staying under the turret just isn't an option? Also, if you see a team mate getting countered hard and losing their lane, and you're winning your lane pretty good. Why don't you go help them win back their lane some? It's called team work for a reason. That means their failings is partly your fault and you are partially to blame.

"5) A player lets a turret fall for no apparent reason " There is always a reason. maybe they had to back to heal/regain mana/ buy. Maybe if they stayed they woulda fed the enemy and lost the turret, so losing the turret is a better option that dying and giving them the turret. Just because the reason isn't apparent to you doesn't mean there wasn't a reason.

"6) A jungler that doesnt gank any lanes ever" This one I can agree with. I really don't have much to say about this one.

"7) depending on the adc/supports playstyle an overly agressive adc/supp or plays to passive adc/support" Maybe they have to play passive because they are getting shoved out hard? That would cause them to be overly passive cause they don't want to end up feeding. In that case, HELP THEM!. Lets say they are being overly aggressive. Maybe they just started playing this champ and are still defaulting to the style of another. This game has 123 champions. It's going to happens, don't get butt hurt cause it does.

"8) going 0/10 then deciding "I want kills to" you take 2 or three kills then proceed to feed again (great hes worth gold again!)" Shit happens. Simple as that. Maybe they started to make a comeback and got caught by 4 of the enemy team, he obviously can't fight them all off. So he falls. But you saw it coming. Why didn't you help him? This comes back to it being partially your fault.

"9) being a support and deciding you are the carry after accidentally getting a couple kills" This may just be a glitch in the mind of the person. And yes, I have carried as a support because my adc was giving me the kills. Yeah, I've accidentally gotten a few kills as a support then continued to rock the rest of the game. Sometimes the support just becomes a carry. Thats part of the evolution of the game. A match can turn any way at any point.

"10) being the support and taking farm" So, your adc isn't in lane, isn't going to be in lane for a while, you decide to take a few creeps. This support should then be reported for taking some creeps when their adc wasn't in lane? Well, we can extend this logic to the jungler as well. Comes in to gank, enemy runs away and jungler takes 2-3 creeps since hes here. So, by your logic the jungler should then be reported for taking those creeps. OH, we also cant forget about the amazing item Relic Shield/Targons Brace/Face of the Mountain. This item allows the support to kill off some creeps and share the gold from said creeps. So, even if the support has this item and takes creeps, sharing the gold. They should be reported for following the mechanics of the game.

"11) breaking the meta and being the reason you lost (read the summoners code for why I put this one)" Breaking the meta is how the meta evolves. Its the reason we have to mage mid meta because someone decided to play veigar mid and rocked it. So we got the mage mid meta.Breaking the meta occasionally allows the game to evolves in fantastic ways. Breaking the meta allows you to possibly find things that are more powerful than the currently accepted meta. Also, the summoners code actually doesn't say anything about breaking the meta. Because meta is a player enforced way of playing the games. I recommend trying to understand the terms you are using. I will say this one more time. Shit happens.

"12) lagging without having had checked your internet" The persons internet had been running perfectly fine all day and suddenly, LAG FROM HELL COMING OUT OF TEEMO'S FURRY FRIGGEN BUTT HOLE! So, you're saying this is the persons fault because they didn't check their internet just seconds before lag started to hit. Maybe they were playing and someone else in the house didn't know they were and decided to start watching some Netflix and it causes them to lag. So, they are reported for something that someone else in the house, whom in unrelated to the match in any way, has done. This person is then reported cause their brother just got home from school and wanted to watch My Little Pony on Netflix while the player is in another room. Yeah, great friggen idea man.

"13) wrong runes/masteries" I don't even have to try with this one. shit happens. People make mistakes. It happens, they shouldn't be punished for a simple mistake. Maybe its a new player thats just getting into the groove of the game, just so happens to have the wrong runes on. Well, you just got this new player banned because he got reported by 18 people in the last 2 matches. This then makes it your fault.

"14) wrong spells" I refer you to my reply of number 13.

"15) giving up and trying to surrender a bajillion times when you arent that behind" Maybe they have to go. I'm not talking as they knew they didn't have time or any of that shit. I'm talking about an emergency. Maybe their grandma needs help and they have to leave right then, but they don't want to get tagged by the leaver buster. Help them out and just get it done and over with. You can move on to the next match and be done with it.

I see here that your logic for almost all of these is severely skewed and needs to be worked on more. You really do seem like an elitist, and honestly, kinda like your an asshole in every definition of the word. This is just what I'm taking from your post. No offense if you're actually a nice guy, then fine, I apologize. But this elitist attitude is bullshit. Get over yourself and look at the situations and implications of the rules you are suggesting. One more thing. Something unintentional cannot be punished in a game like this. Cause by your logic, you make a mistake BANNED. If that were to happen then the game would just die. You are suggesting the death of a game we love and pour hours upon hours of our time into. You sir, think harder on what you suggest.

but whyd you take this seriously D:

"wrongs runes and masteries/wrong spells" you were supposed to laugh at that part :c

but then again if riot actually had SOME kind of punishment (not banning, maybe take away ranked restrictions for people being toxic and put it on if you get reported for being unskilled ONLY in ranked)

people would be like "Ok I actually have to try my best and not do whatever."

mainly for ranked though.

Normals are where you go to have fun and try new things, ranked is where you take everything youve learned and put it to use, but we have people who play ranked and dont even care that its ranked, they do first time champions or break the meta cus yolo.

normals? thats fine!

ranked play? should be monitored and players who get reported enough for being bad (IE 5+ games in a row youdve have to be reported for being badly

or 50+ games within a 1 month period)

would result in ranked restriction where you have to go win a few games (forcing you to play better) or you can say screw it and never get rid of the restriction and who cares?
