Sportmanlike goodhearted players still exist but are getting fewer by the second.

So literately a few hours ago i queued for a game of ARAM. Once i got into champ select (or whatever you call it in ARAM since you don't actually select your champion) I typed "does anyone still by skin boost these days?" and out of nowhere a player actually payed for it. I was shocked such nice people are willing to pay real money for the joy of others. he simply said "it's all about the love". I swear i wasn't asking or begging for it but simply asking a question. After me and another player thanking him and saying that he'd be honored for his generosity...BAM the queue is cancelled because someone just quit.

Imo there is no excuse for that player leaving. Was it a bad champ, why play ARAM in the 1st place? Was it connection issues, why queue then? Thanks to such act the player who payed for the skin boost lost his 95 RP (I'm not sure if the get refunded or not) but because of this he probably wouldn't even bother next time because of the chance of him loosing money for nothing.

People might say "it's just 95 RP why the big fuss about it?" and to them i say not everyone have the the capability to continuously by RP, and even if he did it's the act of uncaring that leaves a bad experience not the amount of money you lost. Unfortunately bad players are increasing and in return good sportsmanlike players are suffering in return. The league player base is toxic enough, but if the increase continues the game would simply become unplayable at all.

To the player who payed for the skin boost, I appreciate your kindness and i'm sorry for what happened. I hope you got your RP back though ;)

If the queue dodges you get your 95 RP back. It sucks people dodge, but I'd much rather appreciate a dodge than getting in game and then afking cause of irl reasons.

Yeah they'll get the RP refunded. I like to buy a skin boost every time I play ARAM with random folks. It's an easy way to make some people smile and it makes me feel good knowing that they enjoyed it. Win/win if you ask me. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Turns out pissing off 1 out of 9 players is going to almost ensure that every game has someone who comes in pissed off by the game.

OMFG. I wonder if all the non-toxic players are gasp shock horror all getting fucking sick and tired of fucking idiot retard fucking trolls being allowed to fucking troll?

There should have been a permanent Baddie's Island instituted 5 years ago.

You can only assume good players will put up with baddies for so long, before they will abandon your game.

Ofc, it doesn't help that rito literally have 0 idea how to craft a game, or run a game company, and that they waste resources on shit that is DoA, and unneeded to begin with.

Totally feels like it, 1 out of 2 games yesterday were good, First game everyone showed good behavior...

Second Game, players start arguing, My jungler runs in my lane getting the enemy way ahead double kills because hes being an idiot does this two times ( I just don't say anything because I know it will lead to an argument) and so the only two things I say in chat...

/mute all Turning off my sound too.

So I cant hear anyone argue meanwhile "There is jack shit I can do because no one knows what they are doing, likely arguing among themselves and "Free win to the enemy team" because there is just jack shit I can do either I 1v5 because everyone else just screwed up earlier and argues /sucks cant hear them or no one wins, at which point im better off with my clan of 5 random players just playing "Over Watch" With players who don't talk trash and don't give a damn where its won or lost...

People would rather have a player that can carry or get a good champ than getting a skin boost or a sportsmanlike player.
