LeaverBuster Needs to be reworked

ScooterDFTBA·Apr 18, 2017·2 votes·616 views

I understand the purpose of preventing people from leaving games or just dropping because they are being toxic or are teamed with a toxic player. However, it often seems that the toxic players become evident during champion select (such as people who auto-lock their champion and avoid the typical role "discussion"). There needs to be an option for leaving a queue or dropping during champion select where players don't get punished. The game has not yet started and they are avoiding what would essentially be a ruinous game for everyone by preventing gameplay with a clearly stubborn and uncooperative teammate. I'm not sure what the work-around could be, but there simply needs to be a way that players can avoid getting into a match with these kinds of players without suffering a penalty for wanting to enjoy their gameplay.

Back when Teambuilder was a thing, you could actually drop from the lobby with no consequences. The issues it brought up led to fewer games going through and longer queue times since people would just drop if they didn't like the comp.

So, if that were made a thing for today's League, how would you prevent people from abusing it?

Maybe adding some kind of voting system to the lobby? If enough people vote that they don't want to continue to the match with the current team, they can be allowed to re-queue without a penalty.

Or maybe a lobby reporting system where if a player is reported for being uncooperative or trolling, they're kicked from the queue and everyone else re-queues at no penalty? If a player gets reported enough this way they have a hold placed on queuing until someone reviews the issues?

I agree with lobby reporting system. All 4 players would be required to vote against the offending player. Player gets kicked from lobby and suffers a queue dodge penalty.

Get 3 reports in a set amount of time, then get placed on hold until reviewed.

Most games are decided from champion select, simply because of a troll pick from being spiteful that they did not get their role/champ.
