So, I get it players will feed and have bad games it happens to all of us. I am not the best player out there I know that so I understand people making mistakes or having bad games. However when I am having 1 or 2 people intentionally try and make their team lose because they are pissed at another player and this is every game by running under the tower over and over again trying to feed your lane from the start, or calling out positions on the map or any other number of things the trolls do to intent lose it is getting annoying. I carry some of those games but most are a likely a loss. Yet I see those players continuing to play hours, days and months later and i op.gg them to see they are not getting bans cause there is no break in their game play. Often I get these guys in my teams again and again even though I block them. So far atm I am 11 games straight with these types of players and I try everything taking breaks, day and week long breaks and play back to backs doesn't seem to matter. All i'm asking is that you change the banning system to start dealing with these players.

As the game grows, the number of trolls will grow. There are (at least in my opinion) two, and only two reasons they would ever actually crack down on it. The first some sort of legal action, I don't know what it would be, but with any class action suit, the ones hit hardest are always the biggest. Think Walmart and Nike during the sweat shop thing, McDonalds during the health food issue, tobacco companies during the cancer cover-up, something that put the issue front and center in the media. The second is for it to hit critical mass, where it was such a toxic environment players leave the game, or more importantly, stop spending money on the game. While it's "just a game", it's also a billion dollar global company, and no company of that size is going to change it's policy as long as it remains popular, and profitable.

That sucks, and it ruins things for people who do off-metas by prompting people with the memory of an unsual choice simply because they think the person is out to lose instead of winning (or die trying as a challenge).

I've had quite a lot of griefers and am just trying hard to make the grind unboring in the low elo range.

everyone makes the "I play an off meta" arguement, which I don't understand. If you had a system that required a majority, that's 3/4 people that would have to either report you, kick you, whatever. There is no way, if you play an off meta, that 75% of the team would vote you out, or report you, if you played it half decent. That would mean 75% look you up of lolking or gg before the game (where they'd see if you play it well anyways), report you for playing it poorly when you actually play it well, or whatever situation you come up with to argue against the point. I don't know what qualifies as account shaming, so I never actually list people or posts, but I've had people say "but I play jungle teemo/kog", then you look them up, and they have a 3/7/2 ave with a 20% win rating and 10% kill participation. Naturally those are the people that get defensive about the concept, because those are the exact people we're trying to get out of the games.

Agreed, there is a huge difference between playing bad and trolling. But there is a bit of cross over, which was really all I was saying. Having a bad game happens, but when people say they "break the meta" and have 80 games on a certain champ, with 65 of those games being a loss, and a -3 kill:death ratio with a 20% kill participation, I just think some people hide behind the "everyone has a bad game" thing sometimes. A bad game implies that most games are better

meh, not everyone has to agree, it's why it's an opinion and not a fact. I just have the opinion if you intentionally play a game knowing you'll likely be 3/15, or at least 80% of the time, assuming it's a ranked game, it's the same thing as playing a ranked game and going 3/15 intentionally. At one time I was a nationally ranked athlete, and I'm sure that's fkd up my perspective on the whole issue. In a jv or rec game, you might let your running back play QB (using an american football thing), but in a game that has a ranking aspect, I expect it to be competitive and fair. To quote the great sir sean connery, losers whine about trying their best, winners go home and fk the prom queen... can you post youtube on here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQY6IYVAfw8
