Teammates and Queuing System

In games, I have noticed that more and more of the players are willing to throw and simply run it down mid, giving no heed as to how to play the game. I realize that this may seem like salt or tilt. I will admit that every game of LoL is beginning to get more and more tilting. Almost to the point where I am about the quit the game. I understand if someone doesn't want to go the standard: 1 top, 1 mid, 1 jg, and 2 bot, but that doesn't change the fact that dragging your teammate into a 1v2 against 2 fed opponents intentionally is not how the game should be played, no matter how carefree you are trying to be. When trying to communicate with these teammates, they usually have similar responses: "Lol", "You're just bad" and sometimes refusing to even reply. One major thing that upsets me is how some players enjoy making games miserable for other teammates. By refusing to /ff even when the whole enemy team is fed and we are all behind.

Some fixes that I propose would be:
  1. An honor based matchmaking system
  2. An avoid as teammate feature

TL; DR: Teammates are horrible, Lol is not fun anymore, Fixes to matchmaking system

I have been quite happy so far with Riot's player punishment system and I would like to thank Riot 'Thank you!"

Players have become more childish in many regards and very little is actually tolerated in chat these days... if it's not punished by ifs system, it still gets you muted and flamed by your teammates for anything less than gg, gj, or glhf.

You offer a suggestion on how to better focus the correct targets next teamfight? Your bot calls you toxic and tells you to stfu noob. You calmly prove your point with evidence and tell your twitch to that maybe he needs to chill out? Your seemingly-reasonable midlaner all of a sudden tells you you're both toxic babies and getting reported.

When I started playing years ago? People called you trash, idiot, noob, *())&&(Y^&(&, etc. and Riot did nothing to them. Whether they were actually right or not... they weren't punished for any of that. And dealing with the harass was just part of learning.

I'm not condoning namecalling and needless bashing of teammates. But hey, if I repeatedly do very obviously bad plays, put myself in a suicidal situation over and over when you tell me NOT to do something (and I then go do it anyways) and then I flame you for not suiciding to save me from by stupidity... I'd back you up in telling me I'm being an idiot. Why? Because I am. If I'm too dumb to listen to polite advice, pings and tone-neutral chat communication to stop me from doing idiotic suicidal things over and over, then sad but true is that offensive stuff sometimes actually makes the point sink in. People can be whiny selfish babies who are spoiled and think they can get away with anything... until someone slaps them across the face and tells them that what they are doing is wrong. It might not be nice. It's not what the person slapping them WANTED to do in the first place, but it's for their own good. Better to give them a little pain now and wake them up to their terrible behavior so they can reform than to let them go on being a whiny brainless jackass their whole life.

At least that's my take on the matter. Honestly it reminds me of a story this police officer told me. There was a first grader who started acting out in class one day and was throwing kids' class materials, knocking desks around, etc. And due to administration screwing over a previous teacher for stepping in in a scenario like that, all the teacher could do was get the rest of the class to the back of the classroom and do his best to shield the other students from things being thrown at them. Touch the kid to restrain him from trying to hurt others and that teacher could have been the second one in 2 years to be sued and fired...career down the drain. So the police were called because the principal couldn't restrain the kid either for the same reasons as the teacher. Well the officer came into the room after more than 15 min of the kid terrorizing the whole class and tried talking the kid down first. The kid kept refusing to listen, so eventually the officer had to put his hand on the kid's shoulder and march him out of the room and bring him home... with the kid's parent having to leave work early to go home and watch him. When the officer put his hand gently but firmly on the kid's shoulder to march him out of the room the kid feined being hurt and kept telling the officer that he wasn't allowed to lay a hand on him. That's exactly what so many childish players in this game are like. They know exactly what they can and can't get away with. And when somebody comes along and has enough of their behavior, grabs them by the shoulder, and tries to march them out of the room for the sake of all the other students? They scream bloody murder and play the victim. And sadly... too often the system rewards them at the expense of the rest of the class (teammates and opponents). I've said this for 2 years now that the system is going downhill for Riot. And people don't listen. Instead they call ME toxic for saying so.

Well either Riot is going to learn to listen, or they're going to find themselves one day with only those who don't really care and will tolerate anything and the worst kind of toxic trolls like that first grader playing their game. And good luck staying running then.
