Matchmaking and Reporting players.

Whiny, pointless rant below.

I recently had a game where 3 out of the 4 players were negative, hostile, and plain rude. As you may have guessed, we lost by a landslide as such types of people do, and I felt the behavior displayed warranted reporting. The next queue, I find myself in a lobby with the SAME people that I had just reported, and I find myself in a situation where I either give these horrible people another chance to ruin my night entirely, as i suffer their existence, or I am forced to dodge the game and wait, effectively punishing ME for their bad behavior. There should be some mechanism in place to avoid players whom you report.

End rant.

As a rule of thumb, if I have a game with players that I have reported, I wait about 5 minutes to que back up. For me it works out great because I can let my puppy out and I don't have to deal with those dipshits again.

I saw a Red comment on a similar post. They basically said that most players who rage do so for only one or two games before returning to a normal attitude. I know it sucks and it really ruins games but unfortunately there is not a lot one can do. Be positive, don't say anything to the rager, mute them if necessary, and report them after the game has ended. I believe that people who rage often will get suspended or permabanned. However, Riot tolerates sparse raging and toxicity (I guess because otherwise they would have like ~10,000 players). Keep your head up and just try to do your best. If you let all the ragers get to you they will eat you alive.
