Why I´m going to quit LoL and why others did or will (EDIT)

Hi. Let me introduce myself first. I´m a EUW player who began this season in Silver 2, then fell into Silver 5 and in the end of the season I finished in Silver 1, close to Gold 5 and get the rewards, but unfortunatelly I couldnt make it. Then, this Christmas I began to play ranked again. In 3 days, I saw myself in Gold 2, trying to get Platinum. In this games I was matched with and against people who tried their best to win the game. Obviously there were trolls and feeders, but these were in 2 games out of 20 or so.

Note: English isn´t my maternal language, so I may have mistakes while expressing myself.

Suddenly, in Gold 2 I started to get matched with people I´d like to talk about. Here´s my match history: [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/34694dl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/2m64vbn.jpg[/IMG]

  • Skarner game: Nasus, Vayne and Janna were French. I don´t mean they were bad just for being French, but the botlane premade and Nasus were insulting themselves in French the whole game.
  • Trundle´s: Usual low elo throws. After a shitty teamfight where Amumu missed his ultimate, our team still tried to kill them. The result: all dead. Then they all started to flame, insult Kayle and so Amumu decided to feed.
  • Aatrox´s: Overall a really bad game, including myself. We all did bad, in every aspect.
  • Kindred´s: Don´t know why Orianna started to feed Zed althogh Orianna killed him twice before. Much later, Fiora started to flame the whole team (Corki and me for no reason, we were doing great), but mostly Orianna, until Fiora said: "Go fucking AFK, we don´t need you". She did so and then the game became a 4vs5.
  • Sion´s: Although Lissandra, Poppy and I were doing good and Annie was AFK for 7 minutes or so, Ezreal died in botlane like 5 times (I don´t remember exactly). When Annie was back, he started to flame her, saying that he lost botlane because of him. He kept flaming so I muted him. Finally, all we had was a Ezreal who went botlane to farm and fight whoever came botlane, over and over.
  • Kindred´s (Win): Although Kog´Maw and Lux fed a lot, they still tried to fight and win the game. They played safe after lane phase and farmed so they could come back, but they couldn´t.
  • Kindred´s: When Trundle died the second time to Kennen he decided to troll. Jinx went AFK when she was 2/0, but 10 minutes later she reconnected and started to feed, and Janna did the same.
  • Bard´s: We all did bad. Jinx and I were ok in bot, but when lane phase ended we started to feed, unable to do nothing. Rengar ended 14/9, but don´t think he was doing good. As I like to say, this was one of those "Rengar mains" (it´s sarcasm and I don´t mean to insult rengar mains) who comes to lane with ultimate once the laners have fought and the winner leaves with low hp, so they come and last hit him.
  • Trundle´s: Suicider Zed and a Bard flamer, but nothing else. I don´t complain.

And finally I got demoted to Gold 3. With 75 lp I said to myself: "If I win a match maybe I get in promotions again. I had a high MMR so it may be possible". So I did. In champion select I found myself with a guy who wanted to play mid AD Bard, so I left since I only lost 3 lp and had to wait 5 minutes to play again. But then I found myself with a second pick Zed who said "mid" just when champion select began. First pick started to argue with them and his negative attitude. In response he said: "Ok, ill feed then" and changed his summoners spells to Cleanse and Clarity. I explained what just i told you above and he said: "I don´t care, fuck you. You probably deserve it".

Now many of you may think. "Another cry post again I´m done of these guys". But thing is that no matter we´ve come to the boards to complain, we´ve thoght about how bad matchmaking is. And this is because of the report system, the actual point of this post.

[IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2mhifk4.png[/IMG]

So this is the current report system we have available. Let´s discuss about it.

  • Negative attitude (Giving up): So, what´s the the point of this? I seriously still don´t understand it, please someone explain me.
  • Verbal abuse: It´s ok. We can mute people ingame but it´s ok.
  • Leaving the game/AFK: Necessary.
  • Hate speech: Seriuosly, is this necessary? I need an specific report in order to ban these people? Saying: "Fuck you, you stupid German, stfu" isn´t considered verbal abuse?
  • Cheating: Ok. I´ve never seen someone cheating but ok, it may happen once.
  • Offensive or innapropriate summoner name: Why is this even a reason to report someone? I mean, it doesn´t affect the game, and you can disable the summoner name in settings.
  • The magic box: I remember a game I played with a friend. We had a troll who went later AFK so we reported him. Suddenly I heard my friend typing and I asked him if he was typing in the box below what the feeder did. He answered yes and I told him that that was totally useless. No matter you type a letter or the limit of them, because they won´t be read. Ever

And then the system works like thi. Example: A guy ends 0/20, feeds intentionally and goes AFK. At the end of the game the team decides to report him and they all hope him to get banned. OH. Bad luck. Someone forgot to report him, another can´t because game crashes, and finally enemy team says: "Why should we report him. Free elo for us". So two have reported the guy for three reasons, but two reports aren´t enough. Sorry, this guy will keep ~~ fucking~~ other´s games because he never gets banned.

EDIT: Just played a ranked game. A Riven fed intentionally a Pantheon. She didn´t get banned. Surprised?

Tl:dr. Until Rito doesn´t decide to improve his report system none of us will have fun.

Only one person has to report someone for a game for that game to be looked at. It doesn't matter if just one person reports them or if all nine other people do, the report tags the game just the same.

Things like intentionally feeding are harder to just read the chat and say "yeah this definitely happened" it has to be looked into a bit more. If someone is toxic and says hurtful things they're likely to get punished a lot faster because the chat log can be read and probably clearly shows their toxic behavior.

You're also trying to climb the ranked ladder during preseason, which have always been the least balanced state the game could be in due to just how many changes are thrown out at once and your ranking at the end of preseason is practically worthless. Your MMR carries over, and that has an effect on where you get placed after your placement matches, but that's it.
