I'm tired of people throwing games, okay?

Downvote me if you want, but im tired of this now.

I just played 3 ranked games and in all 3, my stats were fine, my team was doing good, and then someone decides they want to throw the game, so they afk / start feeding. Ofc they don't care if they get reported because they're smurfs. But it's annoying because this is my new account, and im in my first 10 ranked games, and im trying to get a good placement but I can't because of Game throwing. In all 3 games we were winning early, and in all 3, a lee sin (coincidence??) threw.

Like, what am i supposed to do?!? The end of the season's coming, and I just want a placement that I deserve to be put in. I don't want to be placed in bronze just because a Lee sin decided he didn't want to play anymore. It's just an immature act that riot need to do something about.

Now, here come the downvotes and the comments about nobody caring.

I've been getting a lot of this too lately. It's frustrating as heck. And as for me, I've had the misfortune of getting them mostly on my team this week, which has made any sort of climbing utterly impossible.

I'm guessing you're at most low gold?

Unfortunately, all the trolls come out around this time of year. Such is life.

The worst part is that because the don't feed through the entire laning phase the system can't tell it apart from just having a bad game. It only takes one intentional death to ruin a game but they can go completely unpunished for their behavior because the system is automated and can't tell the difference from one death. I've tried to bring it up but riot doesn't care about this.

Then don't play a team game. The sad part is, if you want an accurate placement in a game, you either need like 100+ games played, or just to play a solo game. Otherwise you're always at risk of the human factor.

The worst throwers are the ones who have scores like 24/2/0, decide they have enough kills and then start AFK farming, than the people who just start off 0/6/0 anyways. The first type of throwers give their teams so much hope and then throws it out the window.
