Toxic lobbies and being held hostage for LP

Mr Krábs·7/14/2016, 7:04:24 AM·7 votes·1,299 views

I had a player in the lobby queued as a support. Immediately out of the gate he says, "I'm going adc, no matter what" I was queued as adc and was first pick so I picked cait and he starts flaming everyone. He eventually picked jhin and I knew what this game was going to be like so I was forced to dodge. Excluding all of the slurs and language he was spewing, why is this continuously allowed to happen in a ranked game? I'm getting punished with LP and get to listen to this guy call us names with no repercussion as there is no report button for the lobby.

Attempting to force people out of roles with threats is not something "with no repercussions". It is a large violation and has been explicitly forbidden.

You have the screenshots, send them to Riot Games support. It will get their attention and they can begin an investigation into this but you need to tell them it is happening.

Yes I agree Riot should add an in queue report system. I have a post on this right now.

People who think any marksman class is unable to bot, are dumb.

I do this all the time because its the community that motivate us to do that. We q for our role, we find a match and get our role. someone dodges and next match we don't get our role. Im not looking forward to losing my role just because someone decided to dodge for no reason. Im GOING to adc, kids.

this would all change if he would have gotten support on his first found match, as fill.

It's not that Riot is purposefully "allowing" this to happen. They can't control what people do. The only thing they can do is inflict some kind of punishment after the fact. We live in a world where shitty people exist and no one can predict when they will come along and annoy us. All you can do is report them after the game. There is no magical way of keeping this from happening.

You have to learn how to brush it off your shoulder and not let it affect you.

to be fair, cait + jhin is a pretty mean combo

Report at the end of the game.

We need honor and report features generalized to any interaction with another person through any part of the game, be it post game, champ select, chat rooms, or personal message.
