Champion Select - Voting to kick player

BLAMO··7 votes·1,176 views

So I have played many league matches. I love this game, but there are some things I just absolutely hate. I have been playing since before season 1, and it is not getting better. I queue up for solo/duo queue and there are players straight from the get go that live to make the game horrible. They are rude, toxic, and downright horrible to be around. They join champion select and start being toxic from the very start. So I am thinking that it would be a good idea to have an option to kick a player from champion select. They would receive a penalty of not being able to join games for a duration of time. That way you could weed out the players who live to make the game as horrible as possible. It could even lead to the account being suspended for multiple offenses as well. You could make it where they would need 3 out of the 4 players to vote yes in order for it to pass. Assuming that they are duoing with a friend. I know that there could be some flaws in something like this, but I think the good it would bring to the game would HEAVILY outweigh the bad that can come from it. If anything you could just look into trying it out and see if it works. I honestly believe this would be an awesome addition to the game.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. PLEASE comment and give your honest opinions on the thought of implementing this.

inb4 "wow you picked something not picked often, must be a troll. kick"

i've picked sejuani top, and been accused of being a troll. same with karma top. same with darius mid. same with velkoz support. i have high winrates as all of these champions. yet i'd be kicked for being a troll before my team even knew what i was capable of.

I understand where you are coming from, but i am not referring to odd picks. I am referring to those players that are obviously trolling. Also those players that don't say anything all champion select when they are last pick then rage and choose a stupid pick saying, "I can only adc or mid" then picking them anyway. It is not meant to punish players for picking an odd pick. But again I do see where you are coming from.

No, because punishing a player OUTSIDE of the champion select is awful. Sure, kick them from one group. However, expecting that your decision making is good enough to take a person completely out of games for any period of time is pretty arrogant. Obviously, that would just end up being a way for 3 people to get together and end people's ability to play for a while, hence leading to more trolling.

Well, the thing is if you keep getting kicked from champion select you are obviously doing something wrong. I am only saying this should be done in ranked solo/duo. So you couldn't possibly get together with 3 people and end people's ability to play. Unless they were repeated offenders. They could add something where you have to input the reason you are voting to kick the player. If they see you are continuing to kick players for no reason you could be punished as well.

You actually want to give MORE tools for the trolls? lulz, stupid idea is stupid... or are you seriously so naive that you think people would only kick ragers and flamers?

You are just wasting your time, it's never gonna happen. Not to mention, RIOT has already commented about 2 years ago that they will not implement such a thing.

Sure it may never happen, but I honestly would use the tool to kick ragers and flamers..... There are so many of them it's ridiculous, and there is no way to punish them. What you notice a troll and you leave the game? Then you lose the LP for someone else being toxic. I honestly believe the idea is not that stupid. It would give incentive to not be toxic in champion select.

I think it needs to be a voting system. When you click on someone to kick them from the lobby, a "vote to kick" option pops up on the other player's screens. If the vote isn't 3-1 or better, the person isn't kicked. Surely there are 2 people who acknowledge that unusual picks aren't necessarily troll. I don't think a time penalty is necessary either. Just remove them from the queue with the people they were kicked from. Save everyone a lot of time and headache.
