Just left a literally unplayable game.

DevilsBlueEyes··4 votes·935 views

Got jungle in a ranked game, picked shaco, 5th pick, after sending a link asking whether he should buy a gold account off ebay, and I told him no. Told me to play support. I said no. He banned shaco. I picked a warwick, so he picked nunu and followed me around and would consume any camp I tried to get. This is after doing my placement matches after 3 seasons of being in silver got put in B4.

His tag is "i tink i rike".

I honestly don't even know what to do in a situation like this. Is there anything I really can do? This is the first ranked match I have intentionally left since I started in season 2.

So really I am asking, what the hell am I supposed to do in a situation like this? Is this a common think in low bronze? I literally didn't say a single mean thing to this guy. Didn't use a curse word, didn't insult him, I didn't do anything and on the tiny bit of free time I have now. I can't even attempt to play a real game. I just want to play ranked and get back into silver.

Until Riot puts more manpower into real player support and community PR, no, there's not much that can be done, other than report them and move on.

do one of the following three things:

  1. dodge.
  2. don't dodge and report.
  3. suffer quietly.

3 is not advised.

This is really uncommon. What you do is stay through it. Super hard I know. But, if you make a report after game (and actually write in it what happened like above) you can get in trouble. Another thing to do would have been to screen shot the chat. Selling accounts is a perma ban crime.

Dodge. They're such an insignificant part of the community that the -3 is worth it and will rarely be a problem. Dodges don't count as a loss in league like they do in some other games.

As an aside, lease stop abusing the word literally. The game was not literally unplayable. The only reason I bring it up is because the title makes it sound like you encountered a bug that forced you to leave.

Sorry, I meant unplayable as I couldn't get a level unless I leeched a lane. Also this is in "Player Behavior & Moderation". So I figured most people would understand what I meant, but yea I will dodge for now on. It just seems insane to be forced to lose LP because other players want to go toxic. I mean I can guarantee this guy has been like this for a lot more than just this game.

Yeah, its bad but there is not much you can do. The -3 is well worth it since it rarely happens.

That's why it sucks that you left. You could have stopped that troll by reporting. I mean you were already in the game, why leave? Save yourself 10 minutes of free time? Of course dodging before it starts would have been the best course of action (though still has its downsides) but since you were already in the game you should've stayed and made a report after the game ended. Obvious trolling gets punished pretty quickly, and judging from what you wrote, it wasn't very covert trolling.

These ppl just try to prove a point and want to have the last word . I guess we cant do anything to prevent it and you shouldnt surrend to them so i guess its the best way to not waste your time . Anyways same if you get put in lp its only 20 min of waiting per game so it give you a pause between each game .

Oh how I would love to bitch-slap these kinds of players upside the head, I once had a Taric on my team who literally stole the big monsters from EVERY camp back when Devourer was a thing and boy was I PISSED.

What if it were promos though?

You couldn't dodge and no one else would.

That type of person would cost you the game.

Hate that feeling.

Happened so many times last season with DynaQ.

This, anyone willing to grief someone in a game should be permabanned imo.

I am sure one of the biggest problems with this is people just reporting someone for feeding every time they go negative, but hey crack down on false reporting too. I don't get how players like this can go unchecked for so long.

Also, update I am already in B2 and working my way out of the cesspool that is bronze, still a bit annoyed I got placed this low in the first place.

Definitely don't dodge and definitely don't leave in the middle of the game. Play it out and then provide a detailed report post game.

That's your best course of action. You shouldn't let people force their will on you.

It is literally impossible to take a camp from a nunu who has smite and consume, unless he just totally fucks up. I would literally be staying afk in the game, or leaching a lane and screwing that person out of farm and xp. I will definitely dodge from now on. I don't want to let people force their will on me, but I also don't want to take a 20 loss in lp, because some guy wants to troll, plus at least a 20 minute game. Id rather take a 3 lp loss and a 5 minute timer, and save the other 3 people from having to do the same. We need actual punishment for players like this, the guy has hundreds of games, and a guy willing to lose a game on a such a whim, for literally no reason at all has probably done it many times before.

Then he has already won and this completely supports what he wants to do. Maybe I am just stubborn but I am willing to lose everything and all in on these people anytime anywhere to take them down.

If I could play with them every game they would never win another game ever.
