Discontinue Queue Bans! In-Lobby Reporting Instead!
Why should I be banned from joining a queue when I did nothing wrong? Your server acts up when I'm in champion select- I'm clicking "Lock In" and nothing happens.. The "Lock In" button just re-appears.. Then the lobby drops and I'm banned from joining queue. Not to mention- there is no real benefit from banning a person from a queue. They're a troll? Well they're going to troll the next queue too- so why postpone the idiocy?
The obvious solution- IN QUEUE REPORTING. If someone deserves the "queue ban", then allowing them the chance to troll a new queue isn't a solution- as I noted before.. Simply allow players to report the troll before the game starts- and that troll gets removed.
You're probably asking yourself: But isn't that the same as a 'queue ban'? Yes and No. Yes- The player will be unable to join queues for some time. No- The player must be recognized, by other players, as hostile, trolling, or simply antagonistic.
If this were put into place- then people simply 'lagging' or experiencing some difficulties won't be punished simply for a script reading error, etc. That's dual-sentencing. Now I face the consequence of a game that doesn't run properly 100% of the time- and the consequence of a time-out because of the former consequence. Meanwhile, people who just want to troll will wait the 5 or so minutes and troll the next lobby.
Furthermore- those people who do 'dodge' are most likely avoiding trolls, and malintended players. Had there been an option of reporting the troll, and that report immediately kicked the player with enough support from other players, then a good person doesn't have to be punished for avoiding the punishment of a bad game due to trolling.
Unless Riot likes the trolls. Which doesn't seem far-fetched at this point.. considering this alternative has been suggested multiple times. What are you worried about? A person getting wrongfully kicked? How is that possible. Democracy is only reasonable in such situation. If the rest of the team are trolls- they want a troll game. Let them have it.
There are no downsides to this alternative. Stop the queue bans. It's getting ridiculous.
