"Open Mid" Minded Players

What am I supposed to do, when a player dc's. The remaining trio, all in a group, decide to claim "open mid" and go afk the rest of the match. They never actually left, but sat idly in the fountain. I report them after the match, but so far this report system hasn't done anything. They were never afk, so I highly doubt the game will get flagged, and the report will never show up. It's just frustrating, especially in ranked, when the team gives up and does nothing. I'm not great at this game, far from it, and in the low elo, games turn around all the time. And 4v5 are easily winnable as long as you work as a team.

4v5s are not easily winnable, its very rare that it is possible so might as well get the game overwith. Open mid.

No, 4v5s are not "easily winnable". Trying to get your teammates punished for not wanting to play a 4v5 is a dick move.

Lots of "4v5" is a waste of time posts on here.

norms? yeah, fuck it.

Ranked? You'll never get a surrender out of me. Ever. Won plenty of 4v5s.

Also pretty sure the summoner's code makes it a punishable offense to intentionally try to lose the game.

Downvote me. In ranked, open mid = report.

Leaverbuster will see them AFK at fountain and issue the appropriate penalty.

I believe that notifications are not sent (to you, the person that reported them) for punishments from AFK.

Honestly , it's not hard to win 4 vs 5 matches , I won a lot of them , most of team fights right now are starting 4 vs 5 anyway , someone does a mistake , gets 1 shot , and dies , and so the team is forces to a 4 vs 5 match , and guess what , many times the team with the 4 players won , so if you and your team kill one of them or 2 before the fight , you will guarantee yourself a 4 vs 4 or vs 3 fight which will make you win! Even in high elo where people gets tilted easily
