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.

Until your an unlucky piece of shit and do this and still have them in your next game because they did the same thing.

In that case, I'd just /mute all

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.
