@Riot, You want to know why people leave games. Here is the answer,

You ask why people dislike this game, ask why people leave, ask why we get tired and sick and upset, then you punish us for leaving a game.

But you ask why, and I'm going to tell you, in Four easy to understand points,

Point Number 1) Those that win in this game like to be assholes about it, The game I just left (yes I just left a game, the first one in a short while) wasn't about me leaving in anger cause we were losing, I wish I was allowed to post the chat logs because it got really really bad in there, I've been known to rage, and get angry but I try to keep the keyboard warring down to a minimum, but when your own team, and the enemy team are both being assholes about how the game is going (OMG JANGLER DOES NOTHING, OMG TOP LANE LOST 1 DEATH TO A RIVEN GG) or just the constant shit fest that your chat is, Yea I'm gonna walk out, I do NOT have to put up with 9 chuckle fucks being chuckle fucks,

Point number 2) Why don't you report them? Easy IT DOES NOTHING, IT GETS NOTHING DONE, AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT 30 MINUTES WITH THEM I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 5 MINUTES IN THE POST GAME. you want the TOS to mean anything? Start coming down on this shit instead of being "Well the players are toxic, we can make a computer program to fix that" no... No you can't... everyone in this game are entitled jerks who want to out jerk everyone else, YES even me, You need People to look over some of your chat logs, This shit is getting horrible and the stink is Bad, Like Really bad,

Point 3) you punish people for leaving, for taking them selves out of a bad situation but you Don't punish the people that create this situation in fact if we actively try to fight this (Naming and shaming on the forums) you get all upset and ban us,

Point 4) WHY OH DEAR GOD WHY DYNAMIC QUEUE, that is all. Before it was Our skill that told us how we played, NOW its who has comms with who? if you had released Dynamic queue with Voice comms this could have alleviated the issue some what but now? Now your throwing 5 random people against 2-4 pre-mades, or 2 pre-made vs a 4 pre-made,

You threw out a graph earlier, saying that They don't really win that many more games, but you missed the point, WE weren't upset about that, we were upset about how we are being treated,

After a while the prisoner's will strike back,

As for this prisoner, he just got parole and is walking home now,

GG GL HF (if you even can anymore))

  1. People who are winning aren't assholes. Assholes are assholes. They are like that in any situation they just happen to be winning at the time. This has nothing to do with league other than it is what they happened to be doing.

  2. I'm not sure exactly what to say to this. FIrst of all 5 minutes to report? It barely takes 5 seconds. If you are unwilling to take that minuscule amount of time to do your part by reporting the behavior you have a problem with you don't really have a lot of ground to stand on when complaining about those thing. Just like in 1, not everyone is a jerk. It just only takes 1 in a game to ruin it. The automated system is extremely effective at pushing people(for chat). This perception that it doesn't do anything is entirely that, your perception. Look around this section of the boards, you can see that people get punished all the time for exactly the kind of thing you are complaining about. You just don't know about other people's punishments the overwhelming majority of the time. But just because you don't see something happen doesn't mean that it didn't.

  3. On paper I agree with this. In practice you would never get to play a game. If there were 0 consequences to leaving a game people would leave for every tiny thing. Guy picked a champ that wasn't top 3 in his role, leave. ADC built a bork over bloodthirster, leave. Firstblood, leave. etc etc. I understand the downsides of being forced to stay in games, but it is a requirement for the game to function.

  4. Again, this is a problem with individuals, not any system that they are playing in. Some groups don't communicate with the non-grouped players sure, but tons of individuals don't say a single word in games either. This has nothing to do with dynamic queue.
