I get put into a game with a duo that afks all game then comes back and are toxic. Mute them in game.
After game: report, explain report and block
Next game: Same duo on my team again, afks again. Probably will receive no punishment.
Why does riot throw you right back into a game with the same afkers when you block them and report them
There are literally THOUSANDS of other players, and you put me right back with two people who Ive blocked and reported. FIx this crap.

If they were AFKing/toxic, and that pattern continues to perpetuate itself, they will almost certainly receive punishment.

I expect the main reason is that there isn't really an easy solution. That being said, waiting a few minutes after a game with trolls is usually enough to avoid them in your next game. I know it's more of a workaround than a stable solution, but it does work for the most part.

The issue with this approach is that, in certain edge cases, changing matchmaking based on reports/blocks can imbalance games. This is especially true in sub-30 games and extremely high ELO (Master & Challenger), where blocking five people could potentially mess with the accuracy of matchmaking.

Blocking them is a very easy solution. I know Riot programmers arent exactly very reputable. But every other game out there almost lets you block players and thats the end of it. You dont see them again on that account.

Did you read my third bullet point? Blocking could cause issues with matchmaking if it were implemented in the way you're suggesting.

Riot's developers are some of the most hardcore badasses in the industry, I'm not sure where you got this from.
PapaGreg211 votesIf you were allowed to block players, everybody would block people they thought were bad just to prevent being on their team again. It would be a solution to a small problem but would ultimately create a much larger problem.
In retrospect, you should have waited a few minutes before queuing up again as I am sure you all queued up at the same time and greatly increased your chance of being paired up again.
Sorry you had a bad game, it sucks when that happens.
SmokedAlmonds1 votesI always find this funny. Even though I know it is how a lot of people would use it.
Blocking everyone you think is bad would actually have the opposite effect. Since you fill 1 slot on your team every game there are 4 slots open to randoms and 5 on the opposing team. So that bad person you blocked was already more likely to be on the opposing team than your team. By blocking him you replace him with someone who is more likely better(since there is 1 less bad person to choose from) and they are still more likely to be on the opposing team.
Straw Hat Loki2 votesCurrently the best solution would be to to mute, report, and then wait a bit before queuing up again.
That waiting will also help you b/c after having a frustrating game, you will yourself cool down a bit and at the same time, you can ensure not matching up w/ the same scrubs again.
GL!

Randomonium1 votesSo that duo is obviously around the same MMR as you (which is why you got matched up in the first place) and since you both queued up at the same time after your match you both were waiting the same amount of time to get matched for your second game.
The whole system is designed around minimizing wait time and matching up people in the same MMR range. So it makes perfect sense that if you queue up at the same time as that toxic duo you have a much higher chance at getting matched with them again. This is a problem in every competitive game, not just League. In fact, people use this in tons of competitive games to "stream snipe" pros and other high level streamers by queuing up at the same time as them.
So what's the solution? Wait 2-3 minutes before queuing up again. Not only does this allow you to calm down a bit after a rough game and not go on tilt but it also pretty much eliminates any chance you'll get paired up with them again.
