The weekend experience in draft games.

This is an unlisted video so that means only those interested in discussing player behavior will see the link to it. Please keep this in mind and be careful about when and where you paste the link or don't copy it at all if you're unsure.

In this footage, we see the typical behavior that is more common on the weekends than it is during the weekday.

This is what we have come to expect of playing this game. It doesn't happen every game. I daresay most cases of intentional feeding are far worse than this. There are even some players that try to lose from the beginning until the end.

What I want to know is...if they care enough to give away skins through the LPP(League Partners Program) to players of their game, fans of content creators...shouldn't they look for more practical ways they can give to their devoted players who appreciate the game enough to give their contribution to the popularity of the content creators?

Personally, skins and emotes are fine and I don't mind getting stuff like that sometimes but I think a lot of players including myself would just be able to appreciate the game as it is more if scenes like the above(shown in the video) weren't as common as they are.

But what can be done about it? We can ask Riot all year of 2019 if they'll upgrade their punishment system, but as long as the affected players put more effort into finding evidence of foul play and submitting it than Riot does in confirming reports through the report system, nothing on that end will change. We can only hope for that.

In the meantime, we can help content creators we care about to be better than they are now at setting a good example for other players. If you see something that could be better either on their YouTube or Twitch channel, you can mention it and they may see your point and make the adjustment. If you care enough about play behavior that you're here reading this, you no doubt are aware that nobody is perfect and we can all use a point in the right direction from time to time.

And players that want to be content creators that you wish to support, are you putting in any effort to support them? There were something like 200 streams the other day when I checked of streamers who had 0 viewers on twitch. Twitch can be an unforgiving place when it comes to competition. Have you ever tried scroll past all the 1 viewers streams to get to those? Or even scrolling to the 1 viewer streams? It takes a while to get there. I've been streaming LoL for months as well as other games sometimes and the only times I ever get viewers are when I'm streaming other games. I'm not the only one finding it hard to interact with the community. As a heterosexual male, when it comes to male streamers, there are a couple that I particularly like that I've learned used to play LoL but they don't typically stream it because that's not what gets them the viewers.

Maybe it's time for the community to move towards supporting who they like, and away from supporting whoever is popular. That way, there are less people that feel like just another number and more noteworthy people. Half the reason people do stuff like what you saw in the above video is because the person doing that doesn't realize that there's a real, live, likable person on the internet playing with them. I didn't get so frustrated that I started becoming part of the problem and that might be what changed the attitude from the bad state it was in.

Does anyone agree or am I trying to tackle too many issues at once or do you have some alternative viewpoint on this?
