"TOP: make sure to report me ADC: i sure will no worries TOP: i literally want a 4 man reprot ... TOP: i was determined to ruin this game TOP: even if he said an adc TOP: i was gonna lock ashe TOP: and troll"

Small excerpt from pregame chat. I know we've all been through this. What exactly are we supposed to do?

Do we stick around and hope they are tilted and just letting off some steam? Do we queue dodge -- as I did -- and spare ourselves the wasted time and aggravation but incur the queue dodge penalty? Do we play through the game simply so we can report this person and hope they get banned? I really don't know.

As I sit here waiting for my 5 minute timer to end, I'm pretty annoyed I lost 3 LP, it's not much, but really...

I'm determined to stay in the lobby and play the game out to show the trolls that their behavior isn't going to deter me from having a good time and reporting them at the end of the match. If that means that I need to have a less enjoyable experience for thirty minutes but be able to get a valid report that will hopefully get these people punished (preventing them from ruining future pre-game lobbies and matches), then that's what I'll do.

I'd say losing 3 LP is better than losing 18-21 LP.

What you should do? Dodge and enjoy your punishment as it is your own fault you got such people into your team. That is the neo-libertarian view of things. The facts are for the weak!

There is nothing you can do, and the griefers know this. And Riot is doing nothing to stop them as it is too much for them to allow us report pregame chat even if the queue was dodged.
