The Truth
This game is soooooopa addictive. Even with the trolls and leavers and feeders. Here's the thing, it's BECAUSE of the trolls and leavers and feeders. It's like gambling. Every time you press PLAY it invites you to belive that the next game will be the jackpot.
When you lose a few and start to think "why am I doing this to myself?", your next win lures you in just enough so you think "ah, but it IS possible to win if I try hard enough".
There is some very sophisticated gaming theory in the background here; we may think it seems like Riot doesn't care about the trolls and leavers but actually I think they do care; just not the way you think.
I think they would actually not want to see the community entirely cleaned up and are working hard to balance it so it stays just on the right side of ragequit.
LOL = gambling. Good job trying not to be addicted.
I don't know whether I should be shaking my fist or tipping my hat to Riot right now.
I recently had my platinum 3 friend play on my silver 2 account. I kept complaining that the amount of trolls and feeders made it ineptly impossible to play on it. He kept telling me that I was trash and that he could get me to gold. He played 3 ranked games and lost all 3. (and let me tell you this guy is no joke. he has 4 accounts 2 in plat one in diamond 5 and a level 18 account so he's not just some %%%got who got carried) He lost all 3, and you know why? Trolls. Afkers. Same story. It could've been an unlucky sequence of games. But still. A 19/3 Diana can't 1 v 5. There was even a game when a player on his team literally said "feeding" and went shaco with clarity and claryovoiance and just wandered the map all game. Didnt even feed, ended up 0/0/0, but flamed all game.
Im out.. Hopefully fallout 4 will knock some sense into the addicted, sad players of this game.
