Riot is Doing Nothing

Rengar Top Lane··3 votes·395 views

I'm fed up with getting these games as jungle (plat) and having extremely annoying laners that fail to cooperate as a team. It's been known that jungle gets the blame even when it's something they were not involved in. Warned our ekko top that kha was top, while I was ganking bot. He ignored the warning, no wards, and died. This happened near 3 times, which lead to kha getting fed. Then Ekko says "this jungle does nothing". ??? I did not want to focus on ganking a malphite early because he will just use his ult to escape ganks and still be relevant late game with ult. Kayle vs zed mid is just a lost lane after six. Ganked pre six blew her flash and she played safe out til next level (6). Know I should have ganked her around level 3-4, but I went bot first because they were over-extended after red camp. We were doing decent early until Ekko tried to throw the blame on me for him over-extending w/o vision. After his remark, Zed says, "yeah gg". Agreeing that it was my fault for losing the game, when it all could have been avoided if he just listened to my pings and dropped his ego for a second.

Now I have a mid laner that is trying to argue with me for majority of the game. Didn't mute the guy like I should have and just baited into getting angry with him.

My question is why are players like this allowed to play? They are literally just playing to get people angry so they can get punished. Hell, even my brother was punished just because a group of 3 people ganged up on him in chat. Yes, a group of 3 people tried down talking a 15 year old in a game. Why the hell was he permanently banned for telling them to 'shut the fuck up'? Yes, excuse his language but they had no reason to down talk him constantly for his mistakes in the game. So, why is your team not looking for these players? Is it because we have to wait for this new, useless system in place to take action?

Yes, I'm heated at the moment because that Zed really grinded my gears that game.

You might not have been the reason why you lost but you were ceartanly the part of the problem. Not with your actions but with your mindset.

Mindset...? The top/mid gave up after kha killed ekko 3 times. Then blamed me. Tell me how I am not supposed to allow that to affect me when they tried blaming me.

Mute, report, try and carry. That's your only viable option at that point. Anything else will either tilt you or suck you into a toxic argument that might result in reports + tilt.

I know that. It's common sense to mute them when I am able to think with a straight mind. It's just I do not understand why Riot is not actually searching for players that are super passive aggressive and attempt to get others punished by constantly blaming their teammates for the mistakes they made as an individual. I'm all about improving in the game in order to climb. Thing is, I cannot improve another teammate's behavior in the middle of a game. 9/10 they will be the reason I cannot carry due to their negative outlook on the game. Therefore, we lose because of one or two people having a sour attitude the entire game. So, what is Riot going to do about it besides us praying that report makes it in? Doesn't even feel like our reports do anything.

Funny how a Rioter doesn't even reply to these threads. Even though it is a problem for us who want to enjoy and learn more about the game.

They do seek them out. Those players leave a patern of such behaviour that gets detected and they get punished. It's just that they have to ruin a couple of games before detected. Sometimes they end up with you and by reporting them you speed up that process. Riot won't let you know if someone you reported got punished unless it was your report that triggered it, so people think they get off with no punishment.

That's just messed up. Multiple games are ruined by one person until that person finally gets noticed by the system. Definitely could use some modifications to make it better. Appreciate you taking the time to reply though man. Calmed down since then. Just muted the Ezreal that tried blaming team for loss and reported him after w/o flaming him.
