Right, but there should be. If you want to play while you're hammered or high there's normals for that. Don't ruin ranked by going in baked or so drunk you just don't care and feed because you want to do nothing but fight.

if they are that intoxicated then they are usually being verbally abusive in chat, toxic, or feeding maybe even pass out and afk ...

you can report for all those violations...

and people take the game was to fukin seriously thinking rank actually means something... it dont... .

funny thing about rank...

we all dont play on an even playing field as they do in PRO play. we arent on a lan connection private network with no lag or ping... all using the same equipment when it comes to PCs etc so stuff as fps, ms, packet loss, process speed etc can make or break a trade and end up to win loss...

just remember the actual point of the game is to have fun and enjoy it.

here is a thought about rank...

rank isnt something to be ashamed of. i feel rank is just a way for riot to put players of similar skill levels vs each other so they can have fair games and enjoy and have fun playing the game... hear me out...

you are bronze.. what if every game you matched vs plats and diamonds? and you get stomped up and down the map and the game is no fun to you.. are you likely to keep playing if that is what happens every time?

on the other hand if your plat/diamond whatever "high" elo if you playing vs people lower skill level then you is that fun not every being challenged? it would be like if you were to go play a game co op vs bots or a custom game vs bots and the difficult is set on easy?

how fun is that?

so in theory rank is there to put us vs people we have a chance to win against while being challenged so the game is fun and rewarding at the same time and keeps you playing..

Live streams can't be used as evidence? I could video-tape a murder and that wouldn't be evidence based on what you said.

No because there's no way to prove that a person actually is. If they intentionally ruin a person's game because they are intoxicated then that's reportable, but the person being drunk is irrelevant.

It should be. League is such a team reliant game, and when you get those idiots who think it's cool to tell everyone they're drunk, it ruins it. I don't even like when the enemy team has a "cool drunk kid". Even with the easy win, there's so little challenge, and it's not fun for anybody.

If you play a game where your team relies on you, do not play drunk, and do not play with shit internet. So far from rocket science it's not even funny.

how could they enforce it? how can the prove through game play you were intoxicated make lee since walk heal to toe in a straight line?

Wirb1 votes

Enforce it with a CAPTCHA that's really hard to solve unless you're not drunk :P

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

brah i could do that shit hammered drunk while taking pills

lol

Environmentalist1 votes

Enforcing it would be hard, I agree, but I still stand by it being stupid. I don't like people who do that, and I never will.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

so people dont have the right (being of age ) to get drunk in their home and play a VIDEO GAME ?

lol

No, not a game like League. If you want to get drunk and play games, play Call of Duty or Minecraft, one where if you die 40 times, other people can still enjoy it.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about DRUNK people. I enjoy a couple beers and League, but when you got back from a party after you've enjoyed 12 beers, 5 shots of tequila, and can't walk straight - that's when you don't jump on league.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

lol 12 beers and 5 shots makes you cant walk?

how bout 9 double crown on the rocks and 6 shots of jager/tequila and other various liquors and being sober enough to do math and have functional skills ?

Environmentalist1 votes

aaaand there's the 14 year old "I'm cool because I'm drunk" talk. ;) Enjoy ruining games for your team, at least you're cool.

p.s. Beer in Canada isn't water, so 12 beers does more than just hydrate you. ;) Have a good night.

I never play this game sober, and yet you're a lower rank than me.

Environmentalist1 votes

Cute. Two points on that one, first is I've played a solid 10 solo ranked games, just to get placed. I far prefer ranked 5's and norms. Second point, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 96.1% sure than unranked is actually not a higher rank than anything in silver.

But hey, you go girl!

You can report them for ruining a game.

You cannot report them for being drunk or high because it cannot be proven... even if they said they were, that's not enough.

Live streams.

Live streams.

Not admissable.

At least I highly doubt even under a draconian system that individuals putting on a "Performance" will be punished without being in direct violation of the summoner code. You might not like it but that doesn't mean it's punishable.

You are telling me that with evidence and assuming that there was a way to report intoxicated people, they couldn't get reported with live stream evidence? Are you out of your mind? You might as well say someone with a clear face in front of a camera stealing from a grocery store isn't evidence of stealing.

That's a lovely strawman argument. Want to try again?

The argument is straightforward so do try to follow; People putting on a PERFORMANCE, are not necessarily guilty. It is also important that whether someone is intoxicated is irrelevant as long as they do not violate the summoner code. Do you understand? it's not complicated.

I dislike people that do drugs in general, or those that drink while playing ranked.... but being drunk or high by itself is not something that I believe even a draconian system would punish.

Being that people actively stream the game while drinking, I really doubt it. I play better when I've had a few drinks. Unless they're intentionally feeding, I would hope you have better things to do than worry about what someone else is doing behind their keyboard while playing the game.

at it's best circumstance it's unsportsmanlike and you can add a note why when you report them.

but it's going to take more than that to penalize them.

hard to implement a "Prove your not drunk" test for an online game.

If they didnt do anything wrong no, but if they are actively ruining a game via INTENT feeding and blame it on being drunk, then yes.
