League of Legends needs to make a better system to combat trolls and afks.

Recently ever since Lol hit 2016 and became very popular a problem arose along with the popularity. I think every player has experienced some form of bad mannerism while playing League. Ordinarily some people are just rude and yes, they will attack other player's mistakes and think that they are justified to do so.

BUT the bad mannerism on Lol has hit a new streak when people started to afk and troll in the games and the occurrence of these misconduct has INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. Currently it is summer time and July of 2016. So many new players have joined and people that do not play that often have returned to the game. and along with them AFK (leaving the game) or Trolls (playing solely for the sake of making other players experience discomfort) have come back to the games.

I personally experienced numerous AFK and trolls in my my career in Lol, but now one in every three games always have a troll or an AFK in the game. And this ONLY happens in RANKED games. TROLLERS realize that people are more annoyed if they bother them in a ranked game and they enjoy the chaos they cause during the game. And AFK players simply quit the game after dying once or twice, wait 20-30 minutes, then immediately play another game. This causes 4 other people to unfortunately decrease their rankings. The rankings matter not only to show how good you are at the game, but also to join a community where players are more challenging and fun to play with or against. And these AFKers and TROLLERS ruin the the chances many people have to raise their ranking.

I know that many people think ranks don't really matter, it's simply that you're not good enough to rise up through the ranks, or find a friend that can raise you up.

  1. That maybe so, BUT no matter how god i become at the game I cannot raise my rank if an AFKer leaves the game during series.
  2. There are people out there that want to play this game because its so much fun, and I see that ranks increase the amount of fun in a single game and a little bit or pride comes with the success.

League TRIED to combat the solution with the /remake sequence but its useless. it only works with genuine connection problems and does not do anything to punish or get rid of game plays involved with people that DELIBERATELY choose to ruin the game for others. I've had occasions where i tried to remake a game 2 minutes into the game after my mid laner died once and AFKed. But NO i am not allowed to remake a game because the system doesnt recognize any connection failures.

ISN'T THIS UNFAIR????? WHY DO PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG HAVE TO BE SUBJECTED TO OTHER PEOPLE'S TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR OR THEIR LACK OF PATIENCE? I realize that the League of Legends manufacturers probably don't care because so many people are joining to play the game, they can careless about the old players that are suffering old timers as long as they get money. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE SYSTEM COORDINATORS OR WHAT THE AFK AND TROLL PEOPLE THINK, LOL NEEDS A NEW WAY TO IMMEDIATELY KICK OFF PEOPLE THAT ARE PLAYING TO RUIN OTHER PEOPLE'S FUN. IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT THEY CAN GO PLAY ANOTHER GAME MODE.

Lol can make it so that if everyone on the team realizes that they have a troll on the team, they can report the player during the game and end the session quickly or not make it count. OR they can make ally and opponent team both report a player if he/she is an AFK or troll.

AFK and trolls have always been prominent in the game community, but recently the amount of AFK and trolls have become way too much. This is my favorite game and I just want to enjoy myself, so I really wish LOL will make a system that solves AFK and trolls.

they might improve the system after awhile and remove some restriction now it's in testing phase to see if they will pull up too many false positive.

i have to agree i get trolls and afks waaaaay more than i ever had last year or the year before i have done the math and me personally i get 1 to 2 a day it effects roughly 20-15 percent on average of my games it seems and whats worse is when the enemy team doesn't even care and then flame you in response for asking nicely for a report...i swear kids play this game and just ruin it
