why I want a "no teamwork" ban from ever having to play with another summoner

This is a team game. It is NOT just ranked teams, but all modes all players all levels. In games where someone is just a pain, I would like to have the ability to say, I don't ever want to be on a team with them or even against them. I would like to ban them from my game que.

When someone decides it is their personal playground, and they become instead of a team player, they become the fun killer for everyone else, they need to be relegated to those that are just like them. I would like to never play with some players that don't care that it is a game for multiple people. Not just about them. Make it an option Riot. Doesn't matter what the reason, we should be able to choose with whom we don't want to play as much as we choose with whom we do want to play ... the opposite of a "party" is an option, not to report, but to say "Don't pair me with this person."

The system you refer to is easily abusable. With problems starting at "holy crap that riven is 20-0, rito, plz dont put me against this riven carry ever again" and ending in "im going to refuse every low elo player in my league to force myself into higher elo matches so i can abuse the MMR system."

Also, this behavior you speak of tends to taper off as you raise in ranks. Im assuming your b5, because thats where the majority of trolls go, because of the wide area of mmr ratings b5 encompasses. When you see someone in s1, or g1, theyre not there because they dont try. Thats for sure.

The issue with this kind of system is people will start using to to stop playing with people they see as "bad" Even in normal queue. If someone is not toxic but enough people put them on their "do not play" list they will have to suffer just because you wanted to never play with them again. Don't forget that if someone puts you on their list for just having a bad game all of a sudden you have a worse queue just because someone is petty. Seems fair that you did nothing wrong but have a worse queue.

On top of that the queue time will not just increase for the people using the system but for everyone, even if they personally do not use the system. Personally I just mute people I don't enjoy playing with and focus on my own game play and I don't need a system to increase queue time when I already have to wait through a queue and pick/ban phase. Again why should I suffer just because X doesn't want to play with Y but Z and X don't get along but don't forget A and X hate each other too!

People suggest this kind of system all the time but it just won't work. Even if you limit the list to only 10 people they will have to focus a lot of manpower in to making new algorithms for matchmaking, time their coders could spend improving the game just because someone doesn't want to play with so and so. Plus the chances of someone ever getting matched with people they don't enjoy again is so small. The system is just not worth it.

Okay, so you don't want to have a "not with me ban" how about in every mode, a "does not play for team enjoyment" and and has to be by their own team. Have it so that being reported as such means they are banned from that mode for 1 day from the next time they try to play that mode to start, and then doubled every other time they are so reported. All your wonderful "ranked" players if they start doing the kind of "I'm the only one that matters, and this is just ____." (aram, bots, normals, dominion ... whatever) will get in line, or won't be playing in that mode very often. It won't hurt your precious ranked games. I don't care that "once you get to higher ranks, this kind of behavior will go away." That is a snobbish attitude ... it is exactly where the "this is only ____" comes from, and presumes that people even care to play ranked. Ranked doesn't matter to a lot of players. play aram. You won't see very many rank boarder indicators. Sure, sometimes you see a couple. But not often. Play bots, you will see very few. Mostly people getting 1st win before they do other things ... and these also are ones that don't care that other people don't care about rank, and often ruin it for others that do care. "This is only bots, it doesn't matter." I want people banned from those modes if that is there attitude. They don't care. Obviously ... "it is only ____" so if it is only whatever, don't go there.
