I mean... shouldn't there be a troll trigger that responds when one person dies more than once within a minute or two in the game? Like a remake option or something? One of our team members even lost promos to it. Shouldn't even they get a remake for that? It's too easy to troll in this game. :(
You get people like these from time to time. They will have to have a regular pattern of feeding in games before Riot takes action.
There's definitely improvements that could be made within the system, I completely agree with you OP. Something that could potentially trigger a MUCH faster manual review (such as multiple boots, tears, or a very high number of deaths) I feel could be very useful to finding these players faster.
On the flip-side, I'm somewhat grateful the system is set up the way it is currently in regards to the IFS (Instant Feedback System). If they would immediately flag and ban an account for someone having a potentially bad game or messing up REALLY bad (like face-checking a bush level 1, then getting cheesed in the jungle at the first buff aftewards) there would likely be a large influx of bans as well as posts on the Boards for people genuinely having a poor performance.
I'd love to hear from the community any ideas they have to help this sort of situation out, as it's definitely unfortunately, and I've had my fair share of games where an individual would literally say "time to feed" and then run it down a lane the entire game - only to OP.GG them and notice that they've been doing it for a while and are in a match again after ours is over with. I don't believe you can get your LP back, however the plus side is your MMR will continue to rise or stay the same while theirs will fall drastically - there's MANY players that actually purposely lose a ton of games in a row in an attempt to drop their MMR to abysmal levels and stomp their way through Cardboard 17. It helps a lot of people out to boost their egos, as well as create "click-bait" content if they're after that - being able to boast 40/0/0 scores and stuff of the like, however it isolates a large portion of the community that actually wants to improve and play a team game. It's certainly frustrating to do your best and carry a game as hard as possible pressing every advantage and capitalizing on objectives while CS'ing and warding well only to have a 20/0 Katarina come and say "hello" to you at 10 minutes with a 10k gold lead on everyone in the team. It's demoralizing for a lot of players, and I'm sure it's a topic that can be discussed and improved upon.
Thanks for your post OP, hopefully the community is able to share their ideas and contribute some sorts of solutions to the issue, as trolling is always a "hot topic" and it's very difficult to differentiate someone that's having a bad game and someone that's intentionally ruining the experience for others (from a computer's perspective, at least). Humans and (most) animals are pretty keen to pick up on it quickly, although the amount of manpower involved would be absolutely ridiculous considering the 100+ million players every month.
Just as easy it is to troll, it would be just as easy to abuse. If something like this is implemented people would just smurf and skyrocket towards a higher ranking because someone can just take one for the team and since its a smurf it doesnt matter if that person climbs because it isnt their main account. While it does suck there is no way theyll make it so that you never lose LP for having someone like that. Especially since they can just claim they were having a bad game, or they were outplayed. Its so hard to trust people unless there was a way to implement a way to record video gameplay and when a Rioter looks at is they can see, but even then that would take too long with the amount of trolls in this game. There is no way even a small group of people working 8-10 hours a day could watch that many games and issue a punishment. It would be too slow!
No. Our glorious overlords at Riot believe that players do not actually care about their LP, and if you cannot win a match despite a troll or afk on your team you clearly don't deserve to rank up.
