Make a "troll" queue

I never play this game sober. I like to fuck around on Teemo and spam memes in the chat.

When I play with other people who do the same stuff, nobody gets mad. The game is fun. Sometimes I get paired with people who take this game seriously. Like life-or-death seriously. Delusional bronze 3 players who think they're on the road to being the next Faker, mostly. When that happens, nobody has fun.

I'm not having fun getting raged at by Faker Jr, or watching him ask the enemy team to report me because I died a few times in a videogame. Faker Jr isn't having any fun with a guy went support Teemo, is joking about Harambe in the all chat and doesn't particularly care if he gets killed.

Neither of us is wrong. Both of us are paying customers. Both of us are just trying to enjoy the game in the way that's the most fun to each of us. Neither of us should be punished but more importantly, neither of us should ever cross paths. People who want to be serious should be paired with other people who want to be serious. People who want to show up intoxicated and play in the troll funhouse should be paired with other players who like playing in the troll funhouse.

It's a win for players, and a win for Riot.

Interesting idea! :] Here are two of my initial thoughts~~

How do you feel about the rotating game modes on weekends? Do those feel like you can be a bit more Teemo-y and spammy without having to deal with Faker Jrs?

Have you thought about custom games? At Riot, we play silly games all the time... like 'protect the Soraka' [5v5, each team has 4 players and a beginner bot Soraka; team with most Soraka kills wins], or 'hide the pink ward' [5v5, each player buys nothing but a pink ward and places within first couple min, win by destroying all 5 of the opposing team's wards], etc... there's really no limit to what kinna crazy stuff you can make up in customs!

i honestly agree with this sentiment. the main reason league is so toxic is different players have different goals. but mmr is the only thing separating people.

lets say you have 5 different players on the same team

player 1 is a fresh 30 in ranked

player 2 is a casual player who is playing ranked for faster queues. and doesnt actually care whether they win or lose

player 3 is a troll. but doesnt troll to be mean. they just do it for shits and giggles and dont understand the effect it has on people

player 4 is a person playing ranked to climb

player 5 is a challenger smurf. but they arent actually playing seriously

obviously these players arent going to get along. so why should they be forced to?

This is a great idea. I mean, I suck at this game, but I love hanging out with funny people, so this sort of thing would make me love League even more: play, die a lot, and have fun.

You're one of those idiots who goes into a rank game as support teemo with ghost and clarity giving first blood and spam in chat: "LOL BRO IM SO WASTEDDD XDDDD" Just fuck off play a custom game or play call of duty.

I love how you claim being defensive yet it's all Ranked games and you literally did troll in them regardless your status of being 'drunk'... Stop ruining the game for that Faker Jr...

I think that's kinda why we have Normal and Ranked queues. That's the impression I get.

its called normals, they dont need to make another queue, normals is exactly what you described

There already are plenty of modes like this.

Just stop ruining games and getting chat restrictions. Repeating the same stuff everyone on the Internet repeats makes you a dork.

If you wan't to goof off and chill that's fine, but don't troll in RANKED.

Can you just ban this guy RIOT? Nothing spells toxic player likes someone who plays a team game just to (*$# around with Teemo.

problem is you do it ranked thats why people get so angry I troll build all the time(tank Jinx toplane is a particular favorite of mine) ...but i do it in norms and no one tends to care(also I still play to win with the "troll" builds)

It exists already, it's called "Normal Blind Pick".

This ^

I 100% agree with your post. My boyfriend LOVES to fuck around on random champions, and I've seen him get raged at several times :( We need a mode for people who just want to have fun while playing videogames! Rito PLS!!!

The place for you (and me) are normal games. People that want to play the game with meta picks and pretend that they are LCS need to stay in ranked. Everyone likes winning and I get that. However, off meta picks can still be fun and win games and that is part of the fun of playing league.
