Players who AFK, Feed, and purposely throw games not banned

Shinji lkari·Mar 7, 2016·9 votes·2,640 views

When are you going to ban people who ruin games because they're too emotional? I can't count how many time I get people who are uncooperative, ragequit, afk, give up and i never get notifications that they get banned.

Does Riot Lyte not understand that it is a thousand time more toxic to waste 4 other players time to throw a temper tantrum and make us lose?

Why aren't these people getting banned, they'll never improve and are a headache to carry when they don't deserve it.

Why would they be banned? These trash cans are the cash cows of League of Legends.

It's ok right I have had 173 games trolled and 120 with afks .... in ranked. when I say trolled I want you to fully understand I do not mean bad players, players having a bad game or making mistakes. I mean players from lobby on full on trying to lose the game and even stating it in chat. Just want to say I looked some of these people up, no break in their game play days weeks and months later. However I did find out that if you tell the other team that a team mate is trolling when the other team asks what is going on, that riot will give you chat bans and 14 day account bans. I submitted a ticket on this and riot responded by telling me that by calling them a troll in all chat that you are giving that player (the trolling player) a negative gaming experience....... The other team asked me what was going on but ok I'm sorry that ruined the person trying to lose the games gaming experience guess I should be thanking them for trying to cause our game to be a loss. Riot logic :/

I dont think you get notifications about afkers.. But in the post game screen... if you are unable to honor them... (I think their name is in red too).. Then they have been flagged as AFK... They will eventually get punished if they do it enough...

Eventually is EXACTLY the problem. If someone blows their top and says inflammatory shit (I am in no way excusing it) and it can be auto ban hammer worthy, stealing from 40x4 (160) to 40x4x3 (480) minutes from other players intentionally should be worse.

What bothers me and should bother Riot more than it seems to is that people have NO respect for the system to catch them in doing this. I picked the game up when they still sold the CD for it that came with 20 champs. Even then people would call out in team and all chat and still to this day notify the game that they intend to lose, and yet? Nothing. Still here, still playing, still far more toxic than anyone who flames. Someone who flames ruins one game, this guy can force one player to play three extra just because he felt like being a cockbite that day.

*number of minutes calculated at a 40min a game average, second number is the low probability chance that all other players are in the do or die match in their series and have to play the current game out, and at minimum two more (1 get back to series 1 to win) as a direct result of this individuals behavior.
This is a serious issue and its about fucking time Riot saw it as one.

The problem is that Riot cant tell the difference between someone who exits game (or shuts off their PC) and someone who has a power outage. Are you wanting someone hammer punished because the electric company blows a transformer? The AFKer may or may not be at fault.

But someone who uses homophobic slurs and tells people to uninstall is clearly at fault. If anything, I would rather see THESE people on the 1st offense- bad day or not. I don't find that an excuse.

While you shouldn't have to fear a net outage the low priority que exists for a reason. In any case you're skipping over my comparison to draw a straw-man, this makes you an asshole in this circumstance. Stay on point. I talked about someone intentionally tossing, and saying they were forcing their team to lose in chat, and doing so by "poor decision making" to hide the fact that they are feeding, and "spit pushing" and for all intents looking active to the server but intentionally avoiding being where needed by their team. Not someone who's playing well or even badly disappearing with out a word, but someone being vocal about their intent to damage the integrity of the game. There's a huge difference between the two and I'll thank you not to insult our collective intelligence by putting the two in the same category. Thanks.

It also is incapable of detecting someone who applies all their skill points and uses all their skills, but continuously "pushes" with reckless disregard for the game. Getting caught "spit pushing" once is poor map awareness, 7 times in the same lane isn't poor decision making, especially when the chat log has them saying things like "nah we lose because xyz is blah blah blah." If I play 10 games I will see this in one of them, without fail. Almost always when warned that they are going to be reported, they don't care. They firmly believe that the system can't or won't catch and punish them and so far, it seems like they're right.

I agree to disagree with your assessment of what is more "vile." While cursing and even using slurs at another player is, I agree punishment worthy I still believe these people to be a far, far worse influence on the game, and that they damage the faith the community has in the report and hell even the honor system.

Honestly I'm very very heavily considering making two accounts, one in which I spew every curse word and slur I can at the start of the game in one word spam posts and another where when the clock hits minute 15 i say gg and just start "split pushing" and refuse to ever retreat, and see how long each account takes to get the 14 day ban. I'm betting the "poor decisions" account lasts thousands of games longer.

Getting caught seven times splitpushing is stupid but in no way bannable

You should not be playing league of legends when you are in danger of a "power outage" or a "net outage". They have every resource such as custom games, and contacting their internet company or monitoring their internet to figure out the situation. People who will play with unplayable ping and people who troll are both wasting the time of other players ESPECIALLY IN RANKED and sacrificing their gaming experience just so they "might" be able to enjoy the game.

You don't see pro players running into games trolling or playing with bad internet do you? Well there's no reason for anyone to specifically do it in ranked or normals when they know they can unavoidably lose.

Notification do go out. I reported someone last night and when I 're queued it popped up. But as in the forum here I read it takes a lot to get a report to follow thru. Sucks but not my system.

They are.... they're just too slow at doing it, because the system is young, for the feeder part. And you need as little as 2 minutes of problems reconnecting to get punished for AFK.

3TWarriorMar 9, 20161 votes

it is longer than 2 minutes I think, but it can certainly be annoying to get disconnected from the game and then have to just click randomly to keep the leaverbuster from popping on screen

for instance, last night I had a latency of 8000 at one point in the match and it often was above 1000...

I didn't get notified of anything because I still played honestly, but a player can't be expected to play with those conditions

The system is 6 years old, they no longer have an excuse when the development cycle of whole games has gone by and its still an issue.

Photos of GhostsMar 10, 20161 votes

The system is NOT 6 years old, it has started being automated by the middle of last year. Obviously, everything done by Riot is unbelievably slow and they should be ashamed of that, but that doesn't mean we aren't progressing.
