Riot should add "Would/Wouldn't like to play with him again" button.

[ I will keep updating this post for about 2 weeks or more ]

Why would I like to play with Flamers in future game , Why wouldn't I like to play with positive players.

I usually block the negative players... Hoping I wont play with them again but it doesn't work sometimes and I get to play with them again.

Riot can add reputation as well in the profile using Would/Wouldn't like to play with him again because sometimes random people add me to duo with them and I have no idea if they are raging kids or cool guys.

I'm sure everyone will use it more than the normal Honor system.

[Would/Wouldn't like to play with him again can be used once on one player so you wont be able to spam it on your friends]

Up vote if you liked the idea :) If you have anything to say feel free to comment.

Read everything please

Edit 1: Another idea is to get rewarded for high reputation with another icon (like the current system) or something else and bigger like a skin, loading screen banner or Hextech things.

Edit 2: Queue times... If you will have to wait more than 5 min that this system wont count the players at least there will be an illusion of sorting good players from bad players.

Edit 3: Q: And what happens if you apply it to everybody, every game? Or if you apply it, not too flamers, but based on ELO or how well they play? Even if it's just used for flamers, doesn't that just shift the problem to another 9 players? Why should they be punished?

Answer: you can vote on 1-3 players per game on your team only.

Edit 4: It doesn't have to be that you wont play with the same player you don't want to for 100% it just can start from 50% and grow up by 10% every time you play with him again and vote the same thing (you can remove the % by voting for "Would play with him again".

Edit 5: Another idea: As soon as you added the to "Would not play again" list they will be marked by red (or other color,icon) in the champ select so you know if you should dodge or not. (Green or other icon for would play again)

Edit 6: I really want this to work, the can add a massage or a "tip" or something similar that says if you vote too much it may increase your queue time and an option to remove your votes or change them.

Edit 7: Some people don't understand that this thing means "Would/Wouldn't like to play with him again IN THE SAME TEAM." not against them.

People would abuse it and use it against players they considered bad in order to play with more talented teammates. I agree it would be great if everybody used it properly but it just wouldn't work because of this.

They had this in Overwatch and had to remove it because really, really good players complained they couldn't find any games at all. Turns out, people avoided the super good players so they'd never have to play against them again. While it is a good idea in theory, it seems like it doesn't work if you use it often enough for it to be worth implementing in the first place.

It's a trade off. More auto fill incoming

100% abuse detected. Players will use this a feature like this to effectively block anyone that just had a bad game. You don't want to play with some dickhole again, then take the time to write a thorough report, and also send a support ticket to riot. By the time you are done, the player will have re-queued, and Riot's ban bot will be deciding whether or not to punish the toxic player, and even if they don't, your chances of meeting the kid again are astronomically low.

Bad idea

If the report system was functioning as it is supposed to function, there wouldn't be a need for this as the toxic, non-caring, cancerous folks would be removed from game, quickly. It isn't, so they aren't.

Thank you so this way I don't get queued with the same toxic/boosted animals 2 games in a row

Roit Gums8/17/2016, 12:34:18 PM2 votes

So you want 1 hour queues? Because that's how you get 1 hour queues

Would like to play with them again? There's already two buttons for that: Add Friend, and Invite So-and-so From Your Last Game.

You'd always get a five minute wait if the "don't match me with them" system was implemented, which would negate the system and lead to people thinking of it like the close door button on elevators (there for looks, seldom works).

TequilaZombie8/17/2016, 1:52:05 PM2 votes

Answering to your Edit 3, I think the system is pretty self explanatory:

If you apply it to everybody you are eventually excluding yourself. It's your call. Sometimes you find 4 flammers. If they are normal players and you're doing that for trolling, you're the one suffering the most (you are 4 people short in your queues, while they are only 1).

You don't shift the problem to another 9 players. Technically, you all have the same chance of playing with those toxic guys. By putting them in the I DONT WANNA PLAY WITH HIM list, you're making sure you don't face that person again. When the other 9 players play with him and put him in the I DONT WANNA PLAY WITH HIM list, they won't face him again. Eventually that one toxic guy queue time will get longer and longer. His only solution to fix it would be to be a nice player so more people put him in the I WANNA PLAY WITH HIM AGAIN list.

For once, I agree with some idea put on those boards.

Worth noting that Dynamic Queue is essentially a "Would like to play with this person again" button, and is bad for all the reasons that idea is bad.

Many times others have come up with this, you're not the first one. It won't happen because it will be abused as others mentioned here in this thread.

Spoofghoul8/17/2016, 10:20:43 PM1 votes

only if limited to 3 blacklist votes per week to prevent abuse

And a decay on it so it goes away after like half a year because people can change

Challenger players would abuse this to not get matched with specific players why counter their playstyles. If I'm a high tier Zed main and the highest tier Malzahar main is in my ELO, you get the idea.

Inb4 you can no longer play the game because you said you wouldn't want to play with every single person who plays because you were so salty.

Would be abused in high elo just as any other similar idea like this.

Unless if it was disabled in high elo since i think Apex tier players are generally people with a normal attitude..

Friendly Ram8/18/2016, 3:45:23 AM1 votes

i'd love it just for the reputation. I'd hope there would be no rewards but just have a way to see how sportsmanlike players are before you hit a game.

Hammerpriest8/18/2016, 10:55:14 AM1 votes

None of your edits fix that this is a terrible idea and has never worked well in any game that has implemented both it and skill based matchmaking. Edits 2,3, 4, and 6 are all hastily applied band aids that don't fix the problem's and just telling people "Don't use it then lol!" Won't do shit for them since people are gonna use it anyway because it's a system that directly aids in manipulating their matches so they can rise higher on the ladder. Whether it goes the way of unskilled player where it was the most used report category despite having zero effect or the way of Overwatch where people would use this to try and get placed only with feeders because they would be able to win more if they weren't matched against pros.

Edit no. 5. Is terrible because riot doesn't want anyone dodging ever in an ideal world. And why would they? Dodging greatly increases the time players have until they begin a match even if they never dodge themselves. It's a very negative thing.

Edit 1 is essentially just going to be as useless as honor. After the hype wears off, hardly anyone will use the +side and everyone will use the - side.

People would abuse it, I can guarantee you that. Then the queue timers would be a hell of a lot longer. Why not just mute flamers in the game and block/report them afterwards?
