Vote to Kick

Nybard·12/5/2015, 7:26:18 PM·4 votes·893 views

OK so in Counter strike, if you have a troll o your team instead of helplessly watching him feed you can start a vote to kick him. How is this not an option in champ select? Right now if you don't want the loss YOU have to take the punishment for someone elses immaturity. Why?

someone says mid or feed in your champ select when someone else already locked in mid what can you do?. I say you should be able to start vote to kick, and if 4 say yes said troll is booted and gets the 3 lp loss and 5 min cd YOU would've got for SAVING yourself and the rest of your team from almost certain loss. how can you not have this system already riot? anyways please, please up vote this cuz i want this to be taking seriously.

Because it can be abused... Trolls are very rare, and people would abuse it to kick people for all kind of reasons.

Trolls are everywhere mind you where have you been, playing Plat D5 mainly?

It wouldn't be abused as much as you may think, we will likely have all 9 of us be taken into the timer lobby again & magically be on different teams since the "Troll" has been kick lets hope the New person found isn't a troll.

The LP loss is a bit much, but an anonymous vote to kick similar to what WoW has for it's LFG system would be extremely helpful. The way it works is that all players get to set up a vote to kick and depending on how often the player uses it the CD on it will be longer or shorter (longer if you're trigger happy with it). then everyone but the player is given a chance to say yes to kick, or no he's fine. After that the group goes back in the que to find another player.

Although a huge improvement to this would to be to make it a majority vote, that way duo's can't que up and protect themselves from the 4 vote so they can troll. Also instead of prompting other players to decide, you can simply click vote to kick on the side of their nameplate if you feel like a person is exibiting Toxic behavior. Once three votes are in the player will be kicked and the group reque's.

This helps solve a lot of issues duo que has, while it does help to have someone you can communicate with, often times Duo's tend to que together to block off different roles, or to protect themselves when they want to be toxic. So the 3 votes mean no Duo is safe from being kicked despite wanting to exibit toxic behavior, It prevents ganging up on a player with the vote to kick feature (you would still require a third vote from another player to kick even if you're voting together). Even if a player is being bullied by a duo, the third player has to be contacted so there is a record of it if it's through the client and therefore can be tracked in terms of abusive behavior.

It's not foolproof, but it will help make the game itself a lot less toxic. Course this can't be implemented in the normal que feature as it's easily abused, but it's a much better system than telling your players, deal with it and then use the report system to help us find them later for a temp/perm ban. Also if a Player gets kicked often it becomes very apparent that there is an exibited behavior that the community does not approve of.

all round i think riot has already notice this, and one of the primary reason there releasing rankteam builder, so you wouldn't end up with those mid or afkers.

As plenty of people can testify, giving coverage of a large swathe of all the video games released, vote-to-kick has been abused in every single video game it has ever been put into.

Hell, I've played cooperative games whose gameplay is completely Player-vs-Computer in it's entirety and vote-to-kick was even abused there!

someone said it would be abused. although i agree cuz lol i play csgo. but in csgo you get kicked mid game and thats not what wer talking about. there is no harm in kicking in champ selct and you cant compare this to other games with vote to kick because they dont have a pre game setup like league. and in csgo if people abuse it YOU get a cooldown for kicking too much. all im saying is, id rather have a ssystem where it MAY sometimes rarely be abused and you might get kicked for a slightly off meta champ but that takes 4 butthurt poeple in one lobby. you CANNAOT say that having this would have more cons than pros.
