I just lost 2 of my last 3 games... because ONE person on our team (mid one game, adc the 2nd) decided to troll for 2/3 the game when both sides could clearly see that all our team had to do ONCE during that 20-30 min (depending on which match) was group 5 in the CORRECT lane, win one fight which we would win 90% of the time, and end the game.

I'm sick and fed up of selfish assholes throwing the game over and over again through stupid trolling. Of people being allowed to refuse to work with their teammates and do EVERYONE KNOWS is bad... over and over and over again. For 20+ min until the game deciding factor is literally... you had one teammate who decided if they couldn't 1v5 win the game, they were gonna 1v5 throw the game. And before someone comes out with some idiotic "just group in their lane then" - no. No on 2 counts. 1. If we did that, the enemy was in a position to exploit us being on the WRONG location of the map and it would have let them make a comeback - getting far more than we could take and potentially letting them just run it down mid to win. 2. When we DID try that, they'd just run to another lane... or base. Literally refusing to work with us... as I stated.

This kind of retarded play happens way too often to my teammates and me - with one or more people like this on our team. It's not funny. It's not acceptable in RANKED, and it's not being properly addressed.

To put it in terms of another sport... football, this is basically what they are doing... except more frequently. You're down to the final 30 sec of the game. You have a time out left, you're on the other team's 20 yard line. It's 3rd down and you are down by 2 points. You can play it safe, kick a field goal and win the game. You can run one more play - potentially scoring a touchdown, and win the game. You can do one more play to position the ball better for a game-winning field goal, and win the game - using a time out to stop the clock. Or... you can have one person be an asshole and intentionally punt the ball to the other team on 3rd down - ensuring you lose the game. That is the literal equivalent of what my adc/mid did those matches. And no, those aren't the only matches where people have done stuff like that. If someone actually did that in a football match, they'd be fired, kicked off the team, fined, etc. But here in league... in RANKED... "they were just having a bad game" and "they didn't know any better". Bull s h i t.

Split pushing is a thing, and you have no right to boss your teammate around. They're allowed to do whatever they think will help win. That isn't necessarily the same thing you think will win.

I agree with your feelings and frustrations. I get annoying at people that won't actually play to win or get emo and quit. There is a tiered level of childish toxic behavior that deserves differing levels of punishment. Unfortunately Riot simply doesn't care enough to address it in a substantive way. All of the ideas are ignored. Hell, even comments I'm putting on here have been deleted as 'spam' which it wasn't for agreeing that Riot is failing in their responsibility to address the toxic community. Who knows if this one will be deleted or not even though it clearly relates to the subject at hand.

If they dont want to group, they dont need to, and its not trolling to just not group. Doesnt mean theyre trying to throw, and it doesnt sound like theyll get punished.
