Refund a Portion of LP If Confirmed Troller/Feeder/Hacker?

When you are in a game and someone troll/feeds in your game that is pretty much game right there. It sucks and is very hard to climb that way especially when you are faced with people like this quite often. For example, I am Silver 5 2LP. my MMR is trash, and I am trying to fix it, but having 0 luck. I queued with a friend and I got ADC. Well, my support didn't want to support and demanded to go elsewhere we all politely said we didn't want to give up our positions. We get in the game and I am Corki and he is Veigar... I was csing fine for a moment then he started last hitting the minions. I pinged him to fall back, but he continued to last hit (no relic shield). I typed and asked him kindly to stop, and his response was "Nah", so right there it was safe to say I was not getting farm especially when veigar scales much quicker given his passive. We lost painfully. We reported, but it seems reports do not do much...

A few ways Riot could fix this problem

1.) Honestly, there needs to be a harsher penalty for players like this 2.) If a rioter views the report and sees he was clearly trolling/ feeding they refund a portion of the lost LP given the game did end in a loss. They could have the same rules for the free win system..... the refunds end once you obtain plat I could just be complaining too much but this is a real problem and makes new players like myself want to quit the game altogether.

Let me know what you all think.

No. Rito cannot manually review every case. How is it fair some case get reviewed and LP refund while others do not? The fairest is no one get LP refund if you cannot do it for everyone.

How is it any different from having feeders on your team? If you are in a game and your botlane goes 0/10 and loses their tower at 8 minutes, that is pretty much game right there.

I completely understand where you are coming from, but there is a big difference is losing lane and still trying to win the game even though it is almost impossible at that point and running it down mid.

Intent shouldn't actually matter when the result is the same. If someone is 0/20, you are going to lose whether it was intentional or not. It should be like how Riot handles AFK/leaving. You can be forced out of a game due to no fault on your own or you can tell everyone you are ragequitting. Makes virtually no difference.

If you are 0/20 you are clearly feeding... there is no question about it. Even if your internet goes out during a storm and you are reported for afk/leaving then that is your fault. you have to use common sense when playing a ranked game there are normals and bot matches for situations like that.

0/20 is absolutely feeding, but as long as it wasn't done in any obvious way of being intentional, it falls under the "just a bad game" policy. Thats the problem.

Would you be OK not getting LP on games where the enemy team had the Troll/Feeder, or when your team had a Hacker? Would you be OK with being kicked out of your promo match because it was determined that some of the LP you got there with was from a game with a hacker, and should be voided?

"What goes around comes around" is good enough in this situation. It's just too big of a mess to add exceptions to the LP gains/losses.

These are all good points but to answer the first half of your question. If we use your scenario, I do not believe my team should have their LP affected for the sole reason that the other team would be getting a portion of their LP back. It's a win, win situation. You get LP for winning and the other team is able to recover a little easier. Now when it comes to a hacker. TBH that game should be wiped from everyone's history. So, unfortunately, yes you would be removed from promos, but Riot could do something along the lines of CS:GO. I think if someone was hacking they remove your rank and you must play one more match to be placed in another rank, and they take the previous rank before the hacker was involved.

For example, if you were Gold 3 24LP then after the next game you would be placed Gold 3 plus or minus a certain number of LP.

No, it's a runaway inflation situation.

Would you be willing to give up some of your LP gains for every win due to a troll or feeder on the other team?

You clearly did not read the other comments where I already answered this question.

I'll answer it again.

No LP gain should not be affected for the sole purpose the other team is getting a portion refunded. Why should the winning team be penalized when the other team is being compensated?
