Riot, I need answers.

Alright kiddos, listen up. Yes, Riot, you're the kids in this case. It's time for your timeout corner. Sit, sit. No, no juice box, put it down. Why? You don't deserve it, that's why. Get moving or I'll call your father. That's what I thought.

So for the last 7 games played you've given me the joy of 3 Leavers in less than 3 minutes, and two kids who can't stop feeding and flaming me for it. But I guess it's my fault. I was playing Jungle, after all. Oh wait... Poppy Support feeding after running in and not doing... anything.. Right. That's my fault. Clearly.. I SAID NO JUICE BOX.

Within queues, you've given me those 7 games and that seems like.. a lot, don't you think? Oh wait, what about the 8 where I was forced to dodge because of Morgana ADC, Janna Top, Thresh Mid, Teemo Jungle (Who claimed that they were going to run down mid.), Zed Support, Syndra Jungle, Rek'Sai ADC, and Ivern ADC. HONEY THEY'RE PICKING THEIR NOSES INSTEAD OF LISTENING.

So what you're going to do for me is give me a proper explanation as to why you're trying to get me to do something harmful to myself. And no, you have no excuse. Because 15 games in a row is not "Unlucky Chance" sort of situation. Riot, you need to stop with this immediately. I can only take so much of this before I snap and have that one last thing push me over the edge. I can't keep doing this. You can't keep doing this. I play this game to escape the horrid people around me, but let's face it, you're trying to show me that I can't have one moment of peace.

And before you ask me, "Have you submitted a ticket with all this?" or something stupid along those lines, you never bother to reply to me, instead electing to ignore me, refusing to be of use.

How the fuck is Riot supposed to know before the game whether they'll leave or not?

Here is an answer.

Math.

If you correspond each letter to a number (the old a=1 b=2) then the letters add up to 42.

Doesn't help that you are playing with the toxic players who are making a new account because their last ones were banned or just smurfs.

Law of Averages:

noun the principle that supposes most future events are likely to balance any past deviation from a presumed average.

I doubt riot would be of any help. I had a game with kat top lee sin mid. Both had 15+ deaths and where qued together running down there lanes dying yet trapping everyone in game. Got reported for wanting out and being trapped in a game that was tilting me. i was done and voiced it not much i can do as lulu if i waste my entire kit trying to help only to have them run under tower.

I ended up being reset to honor 1 after almost getting to honor 4. Needless to say i was pissed. Im a support main im used to getting shit on and blamed along with the jungler. But this was a little extreme i even got chat blocked for awhile. Yet when i tried to get answers they just told me you cant report feeding...without proof. 0/15 each isnt feeding?

Well first, it certainly seems like you trying to be overly assertive towards a multi-million dollar company, on their boards is going to work. You will surely get your way from here.

However, on the off chance that it doesn't work let's look at a couple things:

  1. Toxic Players are more likely to be on the enemy team than on yours. 5 players over which you have no control on the enemy team. 4 on yours (assuming you're not toxic which... let's say is a fifty-fifty shot in this case). I know you said below you never liked math so I'll expand it out for you. 9 total players you have no control. Enemy Team: 5 out of 9 (55%). Your team: 4 out of 9 (44%). It will average out in your favor if you look past the inherent negative bias and confirmation bias.

  2. There is no way for Riot to know that these players will leave. I understand someone below made this point and I'm guessing you didn't have an answer since you immediately mocked them without providing appropriate response. I figured I'd just say it again in case you came up with an explanation since then.

  3. It's not personal. It really isn't. Riot isn't bored and deciding which completely random player they are going to mess with just for the heck of it.

  4. Irony is amazing. While you are creating a fantasy scenario in which you are the responsible adult trying to explain and get answers from the little kids who won't listen to you, you are essentially throwing a temper tantrum on the boards because things aren't going your way. So... who's the kid?

Submit a ticket, examine your own behavior, realize it's not about you, the numbers eventually favor you anyways, don't harm yourself, and it's just a game man. If it is that frustrating, I seriously suggest finding another game or hobby that is more entertaining and stress free. Running, bowling, workouts, etc. can all help.
