Such a Waste of Time

Honestly can we somehow get Riot to remove the report for negative attitude. It would be so much nicer if when we know the game is lost to actually just open mid without fear of getting reported and banned for it. Korean players games last so much shorter than ours because they don't get banned for anything except boosting and actually cheating so when they know there is no chance of winning they get to just open mid and let the game end to move onto another. We would all be able to get more games in with our time and we wouldn't have to be held hostage by that one player that refuses to give up. Its not enough to have an early surrender but only if everyone agrees. If you have 5 players and even 2 of them don't want to surrender for whatever reason i still think its wrong that the other 3 players (the majority) should be forced to continue playing a game that they're not having any fun with and can't win. Why force people to play losing games. I understand that in bronze in doesn't matter how badly one team is losing everything is just a fiesta and any team can win. However even just moving up into gold games which isn't high elo its fairly clear that players are good enough that when one team gets a big enough lead they will always push it to a win. I understand that the early unwinnable games aren't the majority of the games people play but still if i play 3 games and one of them is just lost at 6 min with no hope i'd like to be able to just let the enemy kill the nexus and waste a couple minutes rather than 20 more minutes. If it wasn't reportable or bannable to give up then instead of being held hostage by one player people could actually just sit in fountain and force the game to end early. That one player that wants to keep playing can't stall the game by themselves. Plus the people that would try and abuse that to just troll and give up to make their team lose would end up bronze 5 where their trolling won't be able to stop the players that want to climb from winning games and climbing above them

Well, if you can somehow convince the vast majority of players in the community that it's okay to be overbearingly negative and ruin games...Maybe. But you have your work cut out for you, because you need to convince millions of players. 'Til then, or some other flight of whimsy takes Riot, the Negative Attitude Report option is staying.

Hell. No. Full stop.

You signed up to play a match of League of Legends from start to finish, whether it's to glorious victory or bitter defeat. The only allowable ways for a game to end are as follows:

  1. Enemy team's Nexus explodes
  2. Allied team's Nexus explodes
  3. Enemy team Surrenders
  4. Allied team Surrenders

And of those criteria, you are only allowed to actively work towards one - destroying the enemy Nexus. Outside of Surrendering, any deliberate actions to try and hasten your defeat is an act of giving up and sabotage, and should be punished accordingly.

And you might ask; "what if everyone on my team agrees to open mid?", and my answer is this: What if the enemy team doesn't? Even if your entire team agrees to open mid and give up the game, there's still five other players who want to play the game, and you're ruining their experience.

If you can't be bothered to play a match to the end, then League might not be the game for you.

People throw all the time.

They might be good at the laning phase, but many times their macro sucks and they don't know how to rotate and move around the map.

If the enemy can't end, then there's a way to get back into the game.

Well you do get banned in Korea for calling out Riot Korea for their non existant ban system.
