Afks.

So hey Riot, I can legit screen shot my last match of League... One person on my team had connection issues (not sure on the details of the issue,) but then the other 3 members of my team just willingly sat at base and complained while I continued to play, so for about 13 minutes it was just me against 5 enemy champion, and I cannot even expect them to report (I almost guarantee that they didn't, because it was a free win). I sent reports on all of them, and sadly I know thing will get done about it... But seriously, I know one person might not be the highest priority, but I also know that those 3 people will continue to play with terrible attitudes and make it so hard to just love the community. I love this game, but this happens so often, and I'd like to know that these people at least get spoken to, because I'm pulling my hair out at how insanely toxic the community is.

Eh, I feel like after someone is afk that the game should either end or everyone else should be free to leave. I'm not gonna say they were right because thats now how the current system works but I have a hard time finding fault with people not having any interest in playing a 4v5. I would do my best at least till I can surrender but in those games I want nothing more than to be able to leave.

I'm not mad that you think that way... I mean I get being upset that we're in a 4v5 match, but I can't tell you how many matches I've won (and lost,) That were 4v5s. On top of just saying they were afk, they continued with toxic behavior.. And I mean we made it to 16 minutes, and they all stood at base starting around 3 minutes in, so they not only gave up without trying, but then their verbal abuse was just a bit much. :/

Dude, winning a 4v5 is an effort in futility. Your friends had the right idea, it's you that needs an attitude adjustment. Riot has had 5 years to address the 4v5 issue and have done nothing. No one should have to put up with it, and the fact that you feel they should actually be punished is sad.

1.) I doubt it is me who needs the attitude adjustment, I didn't say anything after they decided to afk, but I've been playing video games online for a long time, I play for the thrill of it, and be it LoL or Halo or Call of Duty, I've won my fair share of matches where I have been at a disadvantage as far as amount of active teammates... Even if they just left the game, I'd be less mad, but they stood in base and ranted after saying they were afk... 2.) Ty for commenting.
