The real issue is that of anonimity vs transparency. If you're joining my queue in a draft-pick match but you dodged the last 4 games and waited the compulsory 5-minute-minimum between queues I think that I; as your potential teammate should be made aware of that.

If you're gonna pick-and-chose, in my opinion blind-pick was made exactly for you in that nobody but you can ultimately influence what role, champion, etc. you play. {quoted}

WHY NOT name players who are determined by** LeaverBuster** to be 'habitual' dodgers/AFKers?

What do you think...? Who or; what circumstances should be considered "habitual" when we talk about people who leave queue?

I don't like this idea. People make mistakes and there are legitimate reasons to dodge.

Negatively branding someone for a mistake, poor choice, or reasonable dodge isn't right.

The logistically appropriate approach would be to ask, "Why not?".

Frankly, I'm with Voldymort. The better question would be to ask "why", not "why not".

But regardless, here's why not; because naming users under Low Priority Queue confers no genuine benefit to anyone for knowing that they're in LPQ, while simultaneously inhibiting those LPQ players from reforming. Because, as you said in response to zPOOPz asking what you would do if you saw an LPQ player in Champ Select;

Dodge the one time and come back later. You do know what "dodging" is, right?

This response to an LPQ player does not make the problem better; in fact, it exacerbates and perpetuates the problem that you're trying to tackle. And in dodging a match due to even one player under LPQ, you are becoming a part of the problem. It's pretty awful hypocritical that it's okay for you to dodge a match because of one player in LPQ while you absolutely abhor someone who's serving out their sentence for the same.

Add to that the fact that a person in LPQ has to play 5 consecutive matches without leaving a game to get out of LPQ - how are they going to go about doing that if every time they queue up, they can't get into a match because everyone sees they have LPQ and dodges?

At the end of the day, all having LPQ players named would do is tell you that x player is serving out their LPQ. It doesn't tell you why they have LPQ, it doesn't tell you anything about their likelihood of dodging the match or otherwise leaving - there's zero useful information given, and nothing good can come from having punished players publicly shamed like that.

oh yeah good idea. that way you can get the rest of the team to insult them and make fun of them and make them feel even worse about themselves. yeah no. that won't ever happen. good day sir.

And what would you do when you see one in champ select? Dodge yourself and get branded or flame the shit out of the guy to get him to dodge?

Hmm. Personally it would make me think twice about who i queue with. Everybody knows that it's a 5 minute temp-ban/low-priority queue for someone who dodges. I feel that this has gone on long enough whereas to enact a named player-list of habitual dodgers/AFKers, etc.

So now its a sin to dodge Teemo support and jungle Karthus ?

Reworded OP, quoted pertinent message.

If you feel like you need to defend your position/opinion then you are probably done sharing. Keep the conflict in your PMs and express it through up/downvotes.

Thanks

-6 Says that public opinion does not want to discuss the issue. @ time of this post. We can each be part of the problem or part of the solution; the fact that this 'habit' or norm exists among both ranked and casual players is infallible.

E-Sports cant be relevant without regulation, Riot.
