I Hate Your Player Base

'GG' at 10 minutes Surrender votes every time off cooldown Supports who don't get any vision or support items (lichbane blitz) Just general tilting crying little babies who tell me to fuck myself when I say how to fix the problem.

Yes, it is condescending no matter how I do it. Because I shouldn't have to. Stop pretending the meta is this nebulous thing that you are completely not accountable for. Stop allowing players to visibly tilt and drag people with them. I may flame from time to time. But I NEVER say a game is over, and I can count on one hand how many times I've put up a surrender vote in ranked. Not even when it's 4v5 due to DC. I always buy sightstone when I play support.

You can go the way of every other game after the flood of middle schoolers, and just acquiesce to a complete absence of standards for gameplay, or you can make this a respectable, viable game with some longevity. Either way, I fucking hate your player base. Love the game; your players are assholes.

I don't think there is anything you can do about it though. What do you want Riot to do about it?

There will be people playing the game that are bad and don't understand the game at all. Depending on how switched on I am in a particular game that could even be me. There is no better why to determine your rank other than your wins. We all know how dumb the rating system can be.

You are complaining but not offering any soultions to the problem.

If someone threatens to AFK on me I always ask if they are 12, that is basically my default response to such behavour. I don't do anything ban worth I just tell them they are being immature and throwing a tantrum. But I am under no illusions, it wont prevent them doing that again next game.

You- "The people in this game don't listern to anyone, riot do something about it!" They don't listern to anyone... there is nothing can say to make them suddendly listern to reason and behave appropriately.

They think they know everything and somewhere along the line they have learnt that they can get whatever they want by throwing a tantrum and that any critism of them is just haters and that if they offended anyone it is thier fault for being offended and not thier fault at all. They are blameless and shameless and just don't care. Keep in mind this can be people of any age with this not just 10 yr olds even if they are acting like it. Its pretty up yourself to think your generation is somehow better than them.

That can't be fixed in game, perhaps that could be fixed with better parenting... but no parent actually knows what the hell they doing, not to meantion finacial pressures on them to work all the time. Riot is not thier parents, it is not thier responsibility. They can ban them but that wont change your gaming experience, you still have to play with them this game at least and the banning tends to go in waves. not to meantion the ease of just creating another account. But mostly you are complaining about people being bad not particularly thier behavour.

In the end, you have to accept there are some things you cannot control, you know.. other people, you give them one chance to listern to you then you forget them they cannot be saved or controled.

There are typically 2 types of people that say GG@10 and keep forfeiting.

  1. the ones that are reaaaaaal good and can already forsee the difference in skill in the first second of play and know that there is absolutely no way to win, like having a super smurf of 4 divisions higher than you (in bronze, it means you have a diamond smurf)

or

  1. The ones that aren't skillful enough to see the winning conditions

Typically its just the latter.

When it comes to that, you just ahve to try to be positive and suggest ways to win, and if they don't follow it, then its a lost cause. But hey, you don't have to win every game. Just need to win 51% over large number of games to climb.

1 never happens. In silver where I am there are no 'winning conditions' besides nexus. None. Ive seen games come back from 17v80 kills with no inhib towers left. And even if they are such a smurf, they don't tell the whole team to ff. If they are, they know what I just said and that a game can change at literally any time. I have carried losing games. My team has thrown leads I've created. Before the first, and after the second they always spam surrender.

That's not even the whole issue. The issue is the player base. Too tolerant of 10 year olds. I told my team not to let the enemy MF get any more free towers. ADC's response is 'Your (sic) not my mother' and spamming surrender.

I would gladly take just losses with a good team who tries. I would play that game. This is just assholes behind computers buying skins with mommy's credit card.
