Why this game is so lenient and forgiving to feeders ?

I am not talking about someone having "a bad day". Everybody have "bad days" and miss play. Don't even bring this up.

Let's put it frankly - feeders are the main source of frustration and toxicity. RIOT bans "toxic" players aka flamers but ignores feeders therefore they approach the problem from the wrong angle. If dude goes 1/9/0 or 0/10/0 etc etc, how people should ** enjoy** the game ?

Loosing the game because of missplay is not a problem - in fact we do even honor good opponents. But losing the game because you never had a chance due to ELO HELL chronic feeders is a different story.

I can understand, some of the players and most likely some key RIOT members are psychopaths who can't understand feelings, but most of us feels frustrated. There is absolutely no reason for players at least not to have a handful of assists in 20 minutes game.

Should't RIOT at least suspend regular feeders from ranked ?

because running it down mid and getting flashed onto as an immobile squishy are 2 vastly different situations.

riot would like you to believe "anyone can win regardless of champion choices" but every sane person will tell you thats false.

champion choices matter.

What did you do for them to stop feeding?

They won't magically start being able to handle the pressure that a snowballed lane has exactly due to Riot's design. If you ignore them you are only creating a self-fulfilling prophecy about how they are the reason you lost.

Because being bad isn't punishable. Even if you are trying your hardest in chat to do so. Which I may add, likely contributes to the feed. Fun fact: Players that get their ass chewed out by teammates and receive no help write off the match because it becomes unfun. So they focus on small victories and play improvement. Which means they will likely die securing scuttle. Don't be a dick.

Beside, I really don't understand why somebody is downvoting this thread. I think it's a legit problem unaddressed for a prolonged time. Or this community is is made of psychopaths who can't see the problem ?

because there is no good way to differentiate mr "having a bad day" from mr "feeder".

for instance is mr. 2/9/10 zilean a "feeder"? or having a bad day?

is mr. in-game chat agreeing with you there, buddy ?

I went 0/0/0 in a 20 minute game once. That was fun :P

If they aren't getting banned its because the community isn't reporting them
