Feeder

blackcato13··1 votes·708 views

I just played a match where "a" player had to solo bot. cause 2 people wanted to go top. Which seem odd but I really don't care i'm here to have fun regardless. So the bot guy complain cause he got killed once,we sent mid to help him. I was jungler and I went to hold mid. He complains after he died again. Then said he will feed to prove his point about having 2 dou bot. At this point I given up on the guy and just said do whatever man. Stuck it out with other teammate until the end and our defeat. After match ended my whole team reported him. Though the other team didn't give a fuck they like being fed and they even welcomed it.

So my reason for this topic is to ask.

That guy we reported, whats the chances he will be banned? Cause I don't think anyone has to play with that asshole.

Thanks.

I'm going to give my honest opinion here, but that is a much more complicated issue than "He's an asshole".

First things first, it matters if it was ranked or not - in normals two top isn't a big deal, so he should have manned up, though honestly, why not send the two top bot and him top? It's not like top is fundamentally different from bot, it's just who plays there. You couldnt reasonably expect him to go solo bot against an ADC and Support if he was just ADC.

Which brings me to the root cause of the issue. The two people top thing - If they wanted to both go top, they needed to make that abundantly clear and have a reason why behind it. Were they going to shove the lane? Or was it just two assholes who couldn't agree so they both went there?

I would hate to be stuck bot alone because two people couldn't work out their issues and let one person go top and the other come bot with me. It guarentee my loss of lane, especially if I had already picked a "standard" bot champion. It's shitty of your team to do that to that guy.

As the jungler, you should have probably pitched a tent bot in this case, because of how much help he would need to just stay in any way even in lane. The enemy bot would probably push him to tower really quickly, he would lose farm, take harass and eventually get tower dived. I'm not condoning his feeding, but to him the game was already lost because of the decisions the rest of you made.

So now, he should not have fed, and feeders suck and it's good that you reported him. But if you don't want people to get upset like that and feed, its a good idea to not put them in terrible situations like that. Playing against the meta is fine, if you are doing it as part of a strategy. If the two top people had facerolled, taken a tower or two really quickly, ganked mid and pushed it over then continued to dominate the game - that would work out wonderfully. If the two of them just wanted to lane together, they should have got bot, so it was 2v2 and 1v1 in the lanes. This way the other guy would have had a chance. If it was just two people who couldn't get along and both called top, so fuck the rest of the world, they should have been reported two, because they are just as responsible for ruining your game as the other guy.

And then, as I said, if they were being impossible to deal with, it did then fall to you as the jungler to keep bot lane viable. Clear your buffs then go support him, occassionally popping off to take golems or something. But you really can't expect him to be a happy positive player when he is 1v2 and the rest of the team isn't doing anything to help turn the situation into something good.

Moral of the story - people get upset when they think they are going to lose. Raging and feeding or afking is always bad, but often predictable. If you really don't want it in your games try your best not to provoke it. Always try to make sure everyone has a chance in lane and give people advice or help if they are falling behind. People will rage and they will feed if they feel like there is no hope - and this is especially true if they think it is their team's fault (because they are trying to punish their team). Always try to look at the human behind the rager/feeder and if you legitimately try to talk to them and calm them down, it really helps. I've talked a ton of people out of AFKing or feeding by just telling them we can still win and offering ideas for tactics and strategy. Give people a plan to follow and most of them will. They don't really want to lose the game either, they just don't think there is any other option.

As for your question, if the guy does this a lot, expect it to take around a month from the first time he was reported. If it is a rare thing for him, he may never get banned.

I mention in the post that we went to help him and stayed in the lane. when he first died and rage mid went to help bot, i took mid. Then when he died again he rage and said he was going to fed. During this time top was down there helping him. So the only time he was being 2vs1 was the first time he died. Afterward he kept raging and being pissy. He was making the agruement that he won't get banned if he get reported. cause he behind 6 proxies or other stupid reason like how you can't banned people for feeding.

He was just not a nice person to play with that ruin the whole game by going every lane and intentionally feeding. Cause of his "rage".

I just want to know will these people always get away with this?

The reporting system takes a long time to work because of the way it's set up.

People will get away with a lot before they finally get banned, but the other option would be banning a bunch of people who don't really deserve it and trying to sort that mess out.

Everyone has had a bad day and been an unwarrented asshole at some point in their life. You can't immediately ban people if they are a jerk in one game - it might be totally out of character for them and not mean that they are a bad player.

Likewise, having reviewed tribunal cases, I can tell you that there are a ton of bogus reports out there. Someone gets mad about losing and reports their whole team, or the enemy team. Someone gets reported for no reason what so ever and I guess they probably took the role another teammate called or stole a kill or who knows what.

Because of stuff like that, you can't expect reports to be handled immediately. I was also trying to point out in my first post, that just because the guy was an ass in that game, doesn't mean he is a horrible person that needs banned right this second. Maybe he was having a bad day, maybe he was really upset about the way that game was going and didn't handle it well. Coming here and asking when he will get banned isn't the right response, because it's likely he won't.

If, however, he is like that in a lot of games, expect that he will eventually get banned. The system does work, it just takes time.

I respect your opinion. Though I run into these people 1/4 matches I play per day. So the reason why I asked this is the same as I stated.

I Want to know if reporting does anything. Cause if not I won't try anymore. That basically it. I just wanted to reassured myself that if i report someone with valid reason. "Even if he had a bad day" I Really don't care, sorry. Everyone have bad days, How they act depends on them. What they do is their responsibility. Just cause a player is feeling down/mad/sad whatever is happening in his life. Doesn't warrant ruining a match for everyone else.

This thread was created so i can find out. If action will be taken in someway If i report a player for a valid reason.

I just don't want to waste my time stressing and reporting these people If i don't have to do it.
