Anti-competitive behavior in ranked needs to be addressed. This is totally unacceptable.

I can't go three games at Diamond V without encountering this bullshit, and 'lol i do this all the time, never banned' is a recurring theme. It's pretty clear that these players know they aren't going to be punished for this behavior, so they continue to do it, and that needs to be fixed.

For example, this player decided the game was over around 8 minutes and stopped trying. Around 20 minutes, it realized we weren't going to surrender and started talking shit to everyone while trying to intentionally make us lose the game.

When it starts talking shit about our Ezreal's win rate, Ezreal responded and said 'lol we're just going to report you,' and then this player acknowledged that they know nothing is going to come of being reported, and let us know that they behave like this regularly. This player has been playing since season 3, and it clearly hasn't been banned yet.

I'd rather play with a team of four toxic players who still play and try to win the game than this bullshit. More focus needs to be put into giving ranked some small level of integrity, because it's not people who say mean things that ruin the game, but the people who intentionally try to lose games. Muting these players won't make them stop trying to throw the game.

negative beahvior such as griefing is punished.

It may take more games or a manual review, but at least we hope you are reporting for the proper category.

Typical Morgana mains, dude. But seriously, no one likes toxic players. Toxic people aren't trying to win the game they tilt the shit out of their own team to lose.

Also, "RIOT DOESN'T CARE I DO THIS ALL THE TIME I WON'T GET BANNED HAHAHA" is like the last thing people say before Riot permanently bans them.

If you want some semblance of control over your teammates, you have the option of gathering your own team.

Technically the thing Ezreal said is name calling, while what Morgana said (out of context) is not.

While you may be right that Morgana was trolling, the screenshot you provide is enough too earn Ezreal a chat restriction and not Morgana.

"really" + "really" + "ur gonna play that game" + "people have said too report me for like 1000 times" + "im pretty sure people have heard it many times too" (not likely to be flagged and punished)

vs.

"im responding to ur toxiccity" (likely to be flagged and punished)

This phenomenon is commonly referred to as rage baiting (and they got Ezreal assuming you are not misconceiving or lying).

On a side note, why is Shen split pushing right there? It seems like the tank is trying to split push when 2 allies are dead an inhibitor is down and enemy has baron grouped and pushing.

Mute them and move on. Try to compensate for the player's poor playing and never surrender! never give up!
