Why Riot Won`t Let Us Choose Our Own Teammates?

FOUR MORE YEARS··1 votes·488 views

I am sure that if you will show us in the champ select screen our teammates info like: How many reports they have and for what(dcs, inting, flaming,wins/losses with what champs so i wont get a zigg ap adc that is 100% trolling etc...) Then the team can do a live vote and kick him out of the room then let someone else in Q to join them. This way you wont need to spend so much time on the useless reporting system which doing nothing atm because who really cares what will happen with the guy who just fed the entire enemy team so much then left the game or just flaming everyone since min one for no reason?Even if you get his account ban it wont bring my LP back which i worked very hard on them. I just dont want to play with him from the first place... Simple right? I just lost like 2 ELOS from D5 to plat 2. I will get back to D no problem but the funny thing is that out of 10 games i played i had like 7 trolling games and 3 games that was fair and fun to play. No matter if i lost or won them, The 7 games was just so bad that i had it all: players who dc, flaming, inting and all the above. Then why i just wasted few hours of my time for nothing? This game is all about 5v5 and in some cases you will be able to carry 1v5 but 90% of the games its all about being a team and play as 5 and as i see it now its not even close to be like that only because players just dont care about getting reported and even writing you "report me please" because they know that the worst punish they will get is 5 games without chat of some other bs... Its not about being a bronze or challenger... It`s about having fun and enjoy the game you love so much and kick the bad guys out for good and only if they will know that everyone can see their info about how many reports they got for leaving games, flame, inting and more only then they will know that no one will want to play with them anymore and stop.

Why Riot Won`t Let Us Choose Our Own Teammates?

they do its called a pre-made team --- use it - if you don't have enough contacts top make a team that is not riots fault or anyone else but your own

That's really none of your business its between them and RIOT

anyone is free to play any champ in any role. Champ select is not trolling in any way at any time

Q: Can I get banned for choosing a champion or strategy that is outside the current meta?

A: 100% no. Choosing a champion or strategy outside of the current meta is not a factor we take into account when reviewing accounts.

Please don't bring up singed or numu...what happened there at the very most was a EXCEPTION to the rule it does not in any way invalidate the above

If you go into solo que expecting that it will have the same cohesiveness and team play as a premade there is your problem right there ... here is why

That is one of the reasons mute is so good . People stress out too much over what everyone elese is doing instead doing .

Its actually quite common to even have to ping mute some pme because they are stressing out tooo much,

These are the _ACTUAL FACTS _of random que:

  • People will not have the same views as you

  • They will not take ranked as a serious as you. Some actually realize this is just a VIDEO GAME

  • Some people play ranked because its more worthwhile than normal I really could care less about rank "prestige" or "LP"

  • Example: some people play ranked because at the very least they get free skin and ward at the end ... do they get that playing normal ...nooo you get nothing, So why would they ?

  • I actually have fun win OR lose , even if there is a feeder or afk if we are getting stomped or doing the stomping and I ALWAYS vote no. I don't play ranked to listen to someone stress out like losing a game is the end of the universe . Its a video game the point is to HAVE FUN actually playing the game not just the outcome ..yes again even in ranked. Some time you win some times you lose LP constantly fluctuates so don't stress about it as long as you have fun you are always a winner.

  • There are legitimate toxic people who join games for the sole purpose of ruining it for others ( intentional feeders, afk, verbal abuse etc ) you cant get away from them. Its mind boggling some who choose to spend their time ruining other peole games but there are immature uncivil ed peole in this world that will log on to do just that. You just have to assume your going to get one when you hit the solo que button and prepare for it . If you don't its a bonus,

  • Riot does not enforce Meta or champ " roles" or strategy in any mode at any level.

  • There is no "unskilled" if you don't like how someone is playing its is up to YOU to leave solo que not anyone else ,

  • Riot themselves have stated that no one would ever be punished for non meta non role champ choice.

  • That means anyone is free to play any champ in any role at any time that is NOTbeing a troll breaking the summoners code,

  • you are also allowed to play " 1st time champs" in ranked as well.

Also there is no refusing to communicate - so someone who doesn't listen to you is not being a troll either . No one will be punished for muting the team and not speaking in chat so if you think you can report someone for refusing to communicate your wrong. they are NOT doing anything breaking the summoners code or riots rules either

Riot Tantram (NA) - 2 years ago

A report flags a game for review. They do not establish guilt. The game is then reviewed for harassment, feeding, etc. This is why 'troll reporting' or 'gang reporting' do not work. False or inaccurate reports are thrown out.

You cannot ever be punished for saying nothing . unless of course it's for something gameplay related like feeding, afking or cheating. But, you can never be punished for offensive language, hate speech or verbal abuse if you said nothing.

If you can't handle all those factors and you keep joining solo que you and your own choices are the problem So stop trying to use the "summoners code to" shift the blame for YOUR displeasure on to other people when you keep choosing to play with random people

Also

  • if you want a "serious team"

  • if you want team that plays like their lives depend on it .

  • If you want to play meta

  • if you want to have a coordinated team that communicates the way a pre made or pro team does.

Again simple solution

stop playing with random people if it s stressing you out

To put it a different way - Why would you keep touching a hot pot handle if you know it hurts when you do?

That is how illogical you are being if you keep join solo que and are surprised if there is a feeder or afk or someone is "bad" , playing off meta or anything else you don't like that is "ruining your experience"

The problem is the Player making the choice to join solo que

You keep grabbing the hot pot handle and blaming the handle for being hot because you think you should not have to use an oven glove ( play with premades instead) and the handle ( solo que players) should conform to your wishes.

Everything you just said makes no sense. First: Yes, i got a team but riot wont allow us to play ranks as 4 so we need to play flex or just normals .Second: Yes, it is my business to know who is on my team if they are choosing it for me so i want to know im not wasting another 20-40 min of my time with a toxic troller who just trolled another game before riot placed them on my team. Every other video game have this option of kicking players out of the game in live or before game starts... This is the most effective way to stop the trolling.... Now what is happening is that most of the players wont play ranks cus they know its a waste of time with all the trollers out there and just playing normal games all day. Why do i need to mute ppl? If i see someone that just run 1v4/5 all game and at min 13 he is 0/8 with 40 CS in rank game plat/diamond division and wont chatting with anyone just running into other team and dies (real story you can check my game history with an ekko player) What the mute will help me? So i wont chat with him? OK but he just ruined the game for other 4 players so it is my business to know what he did before he joined my team and what other games he ruined so i know if i want him on my team or not. Think of it this way: You are a football player, a decent one, not the best and not the worst. Now you spending your life in the past 4-5 years playing football and everyone telling you that you are a good player but every game you play, The NFL choosing you random teams from across the country and gives you huge fat players on your team (no offense for fat people i am one) And another guy who dont talk at all the entire game so you cant communicate with him and another guy who never played on his position and on and on then how would you feel after 3 hours of game then the only option you got is to send a letter to the NFL after the lost with report of why do i have someone that dont play his position and just ruined the game for the entire team, Sounds like a good satisfy idea for you? It is better if they will let me join the team i want and dont choose the teams for me. Very simple: you join room then you have 40 sec to vote if you want to kick someone from the room... So you go over each one of them and see their reports info (without all the bs) just how many times they left games, how many times inting, how many times hate speech and on and on so if you see someone for example on your team with 50 games that has 20 afk reports out of them then you vote that you want to kick him out and if other 3 players did the same he is going back to Q so maybe someone else will take him and you get another player. It will make the game start lil longer but not more than 1 min and will save you 20-40 min of nightmare. Also riot can make some more money out of it by making players remove all the reports they have on their account for money then a player who got so many reports gets kick out of every game he join then he can pay money and start fresh BUT now he knows it cost money to play and he will make sure he keep his mouth shut before flaming or if he cant join game because he knows he need to leave in 10 min then he wont start it basically he will be scared to get reports after it. BTW sorry for my English, this is not my first language.

Everything you just said makes no sense.

Irrelevant block of text is irrelevent

you response literally makes no sense and you missed my entire point

let me boil it down to down to the minnimum

If want to stress out over a mere video game match and you don't like the risks of solo que and want to "play serious" with out the risk of legitimate trolls or people with play styles that you don't agree with .

Then stay out of solo que and form your own team. Its you that has to change their choices not the game to fit around you.

and honestly imo they should make the penalties for dodging harsher

Well im a gamer since 2003 so for me its not just a video game and i really like this one and play it all day but if they will make those changes it will make it much nicer and big gamers will not leave it because of toxic and trollers.

Mindspeaker1 votes

that's fine ....but as i said before if you don't like how solo que works its up to you to leave and join premades.

some players realize its just a video game don't take it seriously at all including in ranked and have no issues with getting champ/ward rewards at the end of the season despite all the legitimate intentional feeds , afker and all the other things people complain about as it is now.

It world be great if RIOT could get rid of all the verbally abusive , intentional feeders, rage quttier etc.....etc.....

but as it stands i have fun jsut "playing "the game win or lsoe despite all that.

So you whole thing about "big gamer leaving " is nothing more than a expanded puffer fish comment ... your trying to make it seem bigger than it actually is.

Ya also dont forget it will help in more things like "bots" for example if you play some ARAM you most have noticed you have bot on your team or enemy team which again makes you lose in 90% of cases, wasting your time and what you have left? Report him... Why dont you show us on champ select how many times players reported this account for cheating and we will just kick him out then watch a magic... NO MORE BOTS!

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Even better

TBF you can look your team up when you get into lobby. Then decide if you want to play with them or not.

But riot did give you an option as previously mentioned a full premade team within the same elo range. If you're playing with bots then you're mmr is really really low, since most bots eventually get to such a low that they're playing with themselves.

"watch how we can initiate a witch hunt" is what you are really saying you literally just said let me and my premade kick a random guy because we can It would be abused so fast

Ya then i need to dodge and wait 5 min and if you dodge too many times you can face 30 min wait... why? just too complicated.

Magical Player1 votes

Because riot gave you a way to leave queue however to dodge means you are stopping a game from occuring you should understand that Riot promised to host games not give you a win You dodged delaying alot of people 5 mins is nothing.

And again to restate it you and your premade would simply vote kick the rando 5th for not going along with your plan this is abuse of your proposed system and is likely why it won't be put into effect Weather you agree or not, your system can be abused to irritate others.

Find a 5th friend, seriously then your problems are solved far easier
