The lack of punishment for not trying to win in ranked is out of hand. This is really fucking sad.

I'm encountering players who just stop trying and try to 'speed up' a loss, because they no longer feel like playing, or got mad at someone on the team.

This shit is happening constantly, and I'm really fucking sick of it. This particular player has done this to me twice today, and I imagine it's done it many more times in the past.

Basically, it got 'tilted' and started doing something similar to intentional feeding, but still 'playing,' because it wanted to get out of the game. In this particular game, both top and bottom had won their lanes, but this player kept doing stupid things like diving full health champions.

Team mates said they were going to report him for intentional feeding, to which he responded 'I'm still playing, nothing is going to happen, I do this all the time when I don't feel like playing.'

This is out of control. This should not be something I see repeatedly, every single day, and I should never be encountering any player who has done this enough that they're confident they won't be punished for it.

So ban them from ranked? Is this a hard concept? Why would it ever be acceptable to queue for a ranked game and not try to win?

how do you expect riot to catch them? except for the rare cases where they admit what they are doing, its impossible. ive seen people trying to lose in such a way that their own teammates dont know they are doing it.

It's not rare, they say they don't want to win/want to get out of the game 9/10 times.

in my experience many of them dont say anything. but i guess they could start handing down punishments for people who say 'i dont want to win' or similar. that would be a band-aid fix. people arent stupid. when they get chat restricted and see their chat logs they are going to stop saying it. but that wont make them stop doing it.

the real problem is that when people arent having fun they want out of the game as fast as possible. since they arent allowed to leave, the fastest way out is to make their team lose hard.

People honestly just have really bad days. It's a morale thing and it feels like if you mess up and lose, you plummet hard and stay down. It's debilitating. All you can really do is try to help them get relevant again or keep the attitude positive as much as you can. I am pretty sure sometimes people feel helpless or useless and it's no excuse to throw in the towel, but humans have emotions.

I agree fully. The problem is, Riot says it's to difficult to distinguish these players from those who are having an extremely bad game. I think this a bad argument, though, because there's a certain point at which extremely careless feeding (0-14-1 and the like) is basically the same as intentionally feeding. I recently made a post about this where I explain my reasoning in-depth and offer a solution for it. Based on what you've written here, I think it's something you may be interested in. I'd like to hear your thoughts over on the thread's page. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/6qUT19A0-intentional-vs-careless-feeding
