hoping people are going to have some hypothetical fear of punishment is not an effective strategy for prevention.
i used to work as a ticket checker at a resort. our bosses used to tell us that our presence would scare off potential poachers, but the fact is you have to have presence.
in this game, there are potential inters and there are people who have no interest in it. the people who will potentially int, will, until they get punished. plain and simple. this is what happens: they try flaming, they get banned, and then they int, and the reason why it happens so much is because riot doesn't punish them for it.
maybe i have higher standards. when i play jungler, i feel like if someone going to intentionally ignore my eixstence, that's "inting" as in intentionally ruining the game, because when i gank, and they stand there under tower and get one single last hit instead of helping me,
because they are mad at me for whatever so-called "reason" (or an unreasonable cause), i call that inting. maybe you don't. maybe you look at yourself and what you could do better. great for you. maybe we acknowledge they're inting, put that on the side, and continue to focus on the game and do our best not only in the game but also to remain a positive influence in that game. doesn't mean they're not inting.
and then there's the supports who sit behind the tower, or two towers back for the rest of the game because they died and are pissed because you didn't join them in their suicide mission when you had 1% hp remaining and OOM.
idk how the fuck you don't encounter these people, or even claim you don't. you don't have to talk, all you need to do is play jungle, adc, or support, or look objectively at your jungler, or play aram -- basically anything where you are participating with your team. even then, you still see it if you watch other lanes.
hiding in bushes spamming emotes. all dancing together at baron until the enemy team comes and kills them. walking in circles around by the nexus and in jungle. ward spamming. or just the simple things. oh you said 1 word, or used a ping, NEver ganking your lane. Oh you asked for a ward in that bush, u get 3 wards and i go to mid lane and run and do nothing when you get trained and i fuck up your cs all game.
i am seriously tired of it.
if they are not trying to play the game, as in, pushing lanes and ganking and getting vision, and getting team-wide objectives, or their end goal isn't that, and they are putting energy in the game into something other than that, such as following jungler around to steal his monsters, or they are just standing behind tower, intentionally not playing, how is that intentionally ruining the game for other people?
what can be solved about this situation is that when i send riot screenshots of this crap, they do nothing. it takes a lot of time and energy to take screenshots and email riot, but they blow me off and they don't follow through with their end of the bargain as the game maintainers and do what they are supposed to do, what they get money for.
