What does Riot not understand about choice, freedom, free will.. those type of things?

I literally cannot comprehend why you get banned for leaving games, it's my choice if I want to leave or not. Like literally it's MY CHOICE if I want to press "Leave Game" not Riots, so why do they punish you for it? I'm on my 6th account now, if a game is heading in the direction I don't like then I simply leave it. I've not spent any money on the game, I would if my account wasn't in danger of being banned lol but hey. So on to the point, why does Riot punish you for not wanting to play a game? Is it a power trip? It's like they are saying "You WILL play our game the way WE want you to, or you won't play" even though you can make more accounts.. again I just don't comprehend it can someone help me understand because I'm so confused.

It is indeed your choice to not play.

Please make that choice before you join a match.

You gave up your free will in regards to this. The agreement you and everyone else signed after each patch basically says "by agreeing to this you state you will follow our rules, and if you break our rules we have every right to punish you for it".

You used your free will by signing it away with regards to Riot and their rules. You did this to yourself, so you really have no right to complain.

Well if you read the ToS, your account is not even your. So Riot have a choice, freedom, free will to banned your ass.

Can you sign up for a football match and leave mid way not because of emergencies but because you feel like it?

Same logic here.

Before you unintelligently pull out the "but it's video games card", no, they are both games, team games, you respect the team and not yourself.

Elementary school logic, not hard to grasp.

And it is THERE choice to ban you for leaving. you deserve every ban for leaving honestly. I've won games from behind and all you do is ruin 9 other peoples game when leaving. Why can work fire you for not showing up? It was YOUR choice not to go to work today not your JOBS. So why can they fire you? makes no sense to me /sarcasim

I honestly don't care about the EULA or TOU. I click accept so I can play the game, I don't read them, therefor it doesn't apply to me.. no really, I will continue to leave games if I don't want to play them lol I don't even?? Riot.. they just don't understand. They can ban me all they want, I'm not spending any money so it's not hurting me, it's hurting Riot lol..

I assume it is a power trip on your part. The game isn't going how you want it, so you exercise your controle of it and leave as a punishment to your team mates. that behavior is probably a coping mechanism to deflect feelings of powerlessness when you're ignored, not given preferential treatment, and you can't otherwise make an impact on the game.

You're just ignorant You are not the only player on a team, there are 4 other players. Leaving a game makes it a 4v5 for your team and they'll have to suffer at least 20 minutes to wait for surrender, that's 4x20 in the best case scenario which is 80 minutes. And since you're on your 6th account means you've done this multiple times and ruin countless people's games. Well deserved

When you decide to hit the play button, and accept for matchmaking or hit ready for teambuilder, you're making a commitment to your team and to the game to carry it out to the end and, hopefully, put some effort in trying to play well (not saying to ACTUALLLY win, because that will all vary on actual skill and decsion-making) so when you decide to start playing the match, you're saying that you're ready to play the game and see it through.

of course there are exceptions such as things that require urgent or immediate attention in real life, or other harmful things, sure. is someone bleeding? ok take a moment to go see if they need some serious help or medical attention. Got a headache? ok take a minute to see if you can find your aspirin or something. Gona grab something from the fridge super quick? ok let everyone know you're gona brb a sec and recall so you don't get smacked out in the middle of the map.

League of Legends is, for better or for worse, a VERY competitive game, with people trying to constantly out-perform the competition and winning the game. What's the point of playing a game if you're not trying to win? Especially in a game where you're playing as a team and the other members of that team depend on you to play a part in helping them out. For some, they are lucky and manage to have a team member who is just pretty damn good and can carry a 4v5 game and win it thanks to their mechanical skills and decision-making skills., and sometimes because someone on the other team is rather lacking in those areas and messes it up for their own teama

But if you're going to decide to just leave the game whenever you feel like or because you want to, Just uninstall the game then. You'll be saving the rest of your team the hassle of having to put up with your selfish attitude. There are plenty of other games out there that won't require you to play with a team of other people so you won't have to worry about people being unhappy with you for leaving. I just hope that if it IS a game you can team up with other people that there isn't a pk function, for your sake.
