1st game of the day, mid laner dies and afks lvl 2.

To be fair, Riot could do a better job at dissuading rage-AFKs.

Hey what do you know! 3rd game today no afk and i win!

TAKE THAT RIOT! IM STILL TRYING TO BEST YOUR DISGUSTING MATCH MAKING SYSTEM!

I doubt you'd have the luck of 3 afks in a row. Even if that's the case, you'll climb eventually. Variance caused by ragequit and afk are bound to happen, go next, report, and move on. It's not worth letting it linger over you.

The game had a terrible community within like 2 seasons, and from there it only condensed into some even more dense mixture of toxicity.

Why not both? They both suck after all

"Leaver buster" is the punishment,and the player is called a "rage quitter"

You are part of the problem, the fact you cant see that is the reason the problem exists.

Do you realize monopoly is not a ranked system?

If you played risk or monopoly competitively with friends would you not want to play with them if they kept getting mad and quitting half way through or before?

Just because someone signed up for something, doesnt mean they have to follow through and complete, you are correct, but flaking out constantly causes people to NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU.

THATS WHAT DEDICATION AND HONOR ARE ALL ABOUT. Something most of you have forgotten about.

**If you start something, finish it. **

**If you AGREED TO THE TERMS OF THE GAME (WHICH YOU DID) YOU ARE BOUND BY THAT AGREEMENT TO FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED. ** If you sat down for a game with your friend, and YOU ALL AGREED TO TERMS TO NOT QUIT HALF WAY THROUGH, and your friend quits repeatedly game after game because it isnt going his way, you will not want to play with him anymore. simple as that.

Dont bring your big boy pants into this conversation and pretend Opting out of agreements is totally fine,

Because its not.

No one forced you to AGREE TO THE TERMS, you just choose to disobey them and think you can do whatever you want, and you can.

**BUT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. **

You guys litteraly want to force people to play a game because YOU care so much about it... do you realize how dumb this is? take for exemple, me and my friend start playing a risk/monopoly game and my friend has to go, or doesnt want to play anymore, and you FORCE him to stay otherwise he will have consequences... do you realize how dumb that sounds..?

That is some of the dumbest ideas put together to form one of the dumbest board posts I've ever read. How is a monopoly game with your friend in any way a suitable analogy to playing a game of Rift?

First of all, the op never said that he was playing with friends so solo queue is a pretty safe assumption. Not the same level of familiarity. Secondly, even with friends if they have to leave they will apologize and explain themselves before doing so. Thirdly, Monopoly is a free for all game. If somebody leaves they simply lose and the rest can play on. As opposed to Rift where if you leave you screw 4 people. Finally Monopoly is a mostly luck based, extremely casual game that people don't get too emotionally invested in. Rift on the other hand is a skill based competitive game and people do get emotionally invested to a much higher degree.

Your analogy is like (yes, I'm about to give an analogy of an analogy, super meta, love it) saying that walking into somebody else's dining room while they are having lunch and shitting on their table should be okay, because dogs poop away from home too. It takes a critical element in the story and tries to minimalize it by relating it to something similar in vastly different circumstances, whichmakes the whole analogy pointless.
