Terrible Summoners don't get enough punishment. Vote System? Review Website?

bobhihih·Mar 15, 2015·2 votes·725 views

Why do people who sit in the back of your base and afk because you stole one of his cs or he needed that blue buff at level 16 and not get punishment if they spend the entire game running back and forth unless everybody reports them? Even after the punishment is miniscule. I think we should get a vote button, that if all the other players on the queue find somebody to be acting terrible at the first(and possibly a review site for each summoner that shows who is good and who is just a jerk to play with). If people started checking some summoner review site often and using it in addition to the voting poll, we would have so many of those trolls removed, and more players would be inclined to start playing better to get that awesome review because the good reviews would make it seem like your bad game isn't you being a total noob, just a bad start or misclick. the trolls for good! the players that have a bad game!

If they actually AFK or do useless things like running in circles in the fountain, they get auto-punished by LeaverBuster. Instantly.

If they're just bad, that is what MMR is for.

If they're deliberately trolling and get reported frequently, they'll get banned.

Most trolling is from players who are normally fine and just having a bad day. The ones who just go around trolling every game (or even every 10th game) get banned quickly.

What's MMR?

MatchMaking Rating. Riot's version of Elo.

If you suck and lose a lot, you get placed with other players who lose a lot. Further punishing players who are unskilled makes no sense.

If you think they're losing intentionally, report them for that.

Basically, it's Elo - though it stands for Match-Making Rating.

In essence: when a player loses a game, their MMR drops, and they're matched with/against other players with this lower MMR. When they win, their MMR raises, and they're matched with/against other players with this higher MMR.

Over time, this balances to near a 50% win-rate, where they're regularly matched with others of about the same skill level.

But yet, I meet people with terrible attitudes 3/5 of the games I play. It seems that it is unending on people that act like that.

It's hard to debate "statistics" like that because there's no way to know what you consider a "terrible attitude". Unless you actually keep very detailed logs it's easy to hugely overestimate how many negative players you've actually seen recently. It's an evolutionary psychology thing; negative memories stand out more than positive ones.

In general, it's not some tiny pool of horrible players being mean all the time -- if it was, those players would get banned. Most of the negativity is from players who are normally fine but are having a bad game or a bad day. Maybe due to RL stress, maybe because someone else flamed them really hard their last match, maybe because they're just on a really bad losing streak and got frustrated. That's why it's not really productive to publicly shame ragers.

Too many circumstances where people flame each other for no reason.

I had a support threaten to report me all game for "making bad decisions and trolling him." We win the game, I ended up doing some significant things throughout despite losing lane, he persists through end game chat that he has enough evidence in chat to ban me and how I got carried hard.

Do I deserve to be on some list with an angry kid writing about me?

This website would be a website for reviewing a summoner's attitude, not their gameplay.

Matthias9119Mar 17, 20151 votes

...because I'm sure nobody would get mad at someone for playing badly and post a negative "review" of them claiming they are a horrible troll who flamed them all match long.

So punish noobs for playing?

bobhihihMar 17, 20151 votes

Absolutely not, it would be a site for reviewing a player's terrible attitude or their frequent afk'ing.

Rito: "Oh, you had bad internet one day and couldn't reconnect to the game? BAN! Oh, you are upset that someone killed a minion you were targeting so you sat in base and danced for the rest of the game? Seems reasonable."

Agreed, completely agreed.
