Being held hostage in Ranked

Cław or Spear·Aug 28, 2017·1 votes·337 views

So I just played a ranked game and lost, no biggie. I queue up for a new one and the second we get in the support says duo jungle, I said plz no don't go duo jungle. After I said that the entire team(but me) started trolling and said 4 man jungle op let's do it. They then all locked in jungle champs with smite and flash forcing me to dodge losing LP and having to wait. I wasn't going to play a game with 4 junglers which would result in an almost gurantee lost. Can there be a way to report people who do this kind of trolling? Also it was solo/duo so it wasn't like 3 were playing together and convinced the other to do it they were all random people. BTW I dodged at 1-2 sec and they all had smite selected still so they were serious about doing this.

Now, I am not backing this, because it is stupid, and only works if the enemy is stupid. BUT...every time I've done 5 man jungle, I've won. Only because people in my elo can't figure out how to deal with it. You did the right thing, just thought I would share.

Never know. Sometimes it works. That said, it might be best to avoid ranked entirely in League, as trolls seem far more prevalent there. It's the age-old dilemma. Trolls are gratified by wrecking another's day. Ruining a normal game is fun, but ruining a ranked game REALLY gets people fumed. It's like how living below your income level means you don't have a lot of nice things, but having lots of nice stuff means you're more likely to be targeted for robbery than if you didn't. Normals are less challenging, but also a bit less likely to be trolled (and you can dodge with only light consequences if they are).
