How does Riot expect us to stay calm when they give us losing streaks...

While being matched with players who refuse to work as a team? The main conceit of this game is the value of teamwork, but when I consistently get teammates who refuse to ward, refuse to group, refuse to assist me, and just refuse all forms of proper teamwork, and I lose games because they can't seem to understand that we need to work together, it's aggravating as hell.

What am I supposed to say to them after I plead with them to help and they simply don't? Report them? I've never seen a "you've reported someone who got punished", so reporting can't seem to work all that well.

well.. even if you reported them, it won't do anything.

Refusing or disagreeing to follow your gameplay strategies is not a punishable offense. Neither is being bad (you going in and them not can sometime just bexause they are bad and too afraid to go in).

exactly. the system is downright silly and flies in the face of common sense. i would be spending lavish amounts of money on this game if there is a fair system in place which allows players to enjoy the experience without getting trolled in games, taunted and then punished when they respond. unfortunately, this is turning into nothing more than a witch hunt against "micro-aggressions" while turning a blind eye to far bigger transgressions and aggravations to players. mirrors what is happening in america it seems

This title is stupid. Riot doesn't give anyone any kind of streaks, or even single games. It is up to the players to decide who wins. If you get people who you can't win with, the move on and try again or quit playing for the rest of the day to cool off. I have a self imposed rule on myself to prevent losing streaks. If I lose 2 ranked games in a row, I either close the game or play some ARAM. If you are on a losing streak and continue to play and lose, it is on you. Just the fact that you spam report people tells me that you are the easily tiltable type of person who rages when someone starts off 0/2/0. If you are constantly harassing your team, you deserve every loss and I hope you continue to lose. Try playing a few games by muting everyone right as the game starts. I bet you and your team will play better.

Aye reporting doesnt work.... Ignoring the 10 straight threads under you complaining about punishments.

RITO works in mysterious ways.
