I like the new jungle and graphics. What about leavers/trolls. Stop elo hell discussion once 4 all!?
I feel like, at least in my elo (high silver) leavers and trolls is a very serious issue that countless times since season 1 has driven me away from the game. There has to be a way in the future to alleviate the pain of someone like me or even worse who just gets sick of playing a player behind or 10 kills down within 5 minutes. I understand if I am not meant for this elo a simple 4v5 shouldn't be a problem, but I like most people only have 1-2 champions I can truly win a 4v5 with and I can't play a champion more than 3 times in a day without getting sick of it. And it is naturally guaranteed that if it is a 5v5 at least 2 of my teammates haven't even read most of their abilities.
I used to pride myself in "fill" and I still try to be the best team player but now it seems I have to jungle or mid to keep an eye on the game and make sure no one snowballs harder than me...
A few unintelligent ideas that might spark someones imagination towards a brighter future for people who truly think they are in elo hell, and that the "Play" button gamble is not in our favor.
1). A separate que for hardcore players that is within the same ladder system but you only get teammates/opponents who also selected it. This que could be called anything and be report/honor driven similar to an experience bar. Could be simple like, +1 or -1 at end of game, you MUST vote for your teammates. Maybe you generate +5 a day to make sure the players who are in the correct elo (but feel like they are in elo hell) won't be left out. With 1-2 intervals throughout the day where you would receive your balance of experience so you couldn't flame hard at people who report honestly. NO duo que.
(The general idea of this is to be able to consistently que up if teammates feel you actually care for the goal of the game not your ratio and to reduce the amount of toxicity involved in the game, instead of stop feeding loser it would be more like, hey why don't you sit near turret sacrifice a few cs or get some wards they are camping you and were winning bot and mid.)
2). A system where if a player drops out of the game someone may see a picture of all of the teammates and opponents along with their levels and receive +X amount of bonus LP to fill into that game. Coupled with an in game reporting system where if a teammate receives 4/5 votes he gets removed. But naturally that would need to be HIGHLY policed for people reporting for no skill. Which is why I think option 1 would be amazing.
Anyone have any ideas or think any of this rambling makes any sense?
