Community is getting worse? An easy fix to help lessen the pain for actual players

So a quick break down of my game history today (EUW - Merrito92)....

  • Game 1: Mid lane Yasuo died to Syndra at 4min and rage quit.
  • Game 2: Enemy Varus ran it down mid (running into our turrets with no minions).
  • Game 3: An actual okay game - both teams were friendly.
  • Game 4: Remake - enemy player left in load screen.
  • Game 5: Our bot died several times early and began screaming at each other in chat. Our support then went AFK. (L)
  • Game 6: An actual okay game
  • Game 7: Remake - Enemy left in load screen
  • Game 8: Remake - Enemy left in load screen
  • Game 9: Our Support purposefully banned our ADC's screened champ. Flame in chat. Dodged.
  • Game 10: Literally exactly the same as game 9.

I tried to play 10 games today, with only 2 being playable fair matches. What the hell is going on. I know that the league community is one of the most toxic player bases, but I swear this has gotten a lot worse. Maybe it is just preseason and a larger % of players don't care. I just don't get why they are playing when they clearly do not enjoy the game.

Anyway, I'm going to monitor the three players who went AFK in these games and hope they receive some kind of ban. As for players banning other people's screened champion, this seems like a ridiculous scenario that happens incredibly often and ruins a game before it begins. I assume these players are auto-filled support, don't want to play there so troll to try and make someone else dodge. What makes it worse is that it is easily resolvable.

Please Riot make it so if a player pre-selects a champion, make it impossible to be banned by players on your own team

Hi,

I understand your frustration with so all the toxicity and remakes, it is quite bothersome when you spend almost 45 mins just trying to get into a game because people keep dodging and remaking and going AFK. I don't want to see your post removed because it has valid points. I do understand that there are rules about having other players' summoner names in a post like this. Please remove their names from this post and make a ticket to express your concerns to a RIOT support agent.

Thanks for the great post!

I feel like support is kind of a popular role right now. When i fill i usually get jungle or bottom. I disagree with the champion select rule you want to implement. What about last picks? I HAAAATE akali ... I could understand someone banning akali if the person on your team who wants her picks last. Depending on what role I am, I would maybe ban her still. Your idea would fix the problem of people just not seeing the intended pick, something ive done a few times. Just didnt see it... sorry :/ but I still dont think it would be worth it just for that.

Afking is punished by leaver buster.

Unless they are chronic leavers and got manually review, they won't get a ban.
