I just played a game where I was called a homosexual slur intended to be derogatory. I reported the player and was queued up with them again next game. This shouldn't happen. Any possibility of changing this so we can't queue up with someone who we just reported?
rujitra4 votesYou do not get to alter matchmaking. Period.
Soul Dealer2 votesYou do not get to alter matchmaking. Period.
Then what solution do you propose? I have also had cases where I get a troll on my team one game and then get they same guy the next game even when I wait about 5 minutes to queue up again.
rujitra3 votesSometimes there are situations/problems which have no better solution than the way it is now.
Soul Dealer2 votesThen don’t tell op this is not a good idea. This is a better solution to what we have now and you provided no evidence as to why this is a bad idea. Now before you say this could be abused think about how many people play this game. If one person has a bad game and gets reported by 9 people that won’t even matter since there are still millions of people that play, the only thing that will happen is that the people who wish to not play with this person anymore because they were either trolling, toxic, or just played poorly. Now I understand that people might not like getting reported because they played badly but if I have an Ezreal on my team that goes 1/15 and provides nothing to the team I would not want to play with him again and I’m sure other people would not either.
rujitra3 votesIt punishes innocent players by limiting their matchmaking pool at the whim of other players even without a valid reason.
And no. You know damn well from reading this board that players would report people who had bad games or didn't listen to their "shotcalls", regardless of the fact that neither of those are valid reason to ban.
In fact, you suggest that you would abuse such a system in this way - thus making your post a prime example of why it won't be implemented.

We still need a solution for this issue an since you are not providing one then the only solution we have is what op suggested. It may not be perfect or unabusable but at least he is trying to provide a solution to make the game better for people.
rujitra3 votesYet his "solution" would:
That's not a solution - that would make it worse than it is now. Once again - sometimes there is not a better solution than is currently implemented.

We only need a solution is the problem is widespread. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had the same teammates in back to back games and the most times I've gotten the same teammate over an entire season is five times and that person wasn't one I would report for toxicity.
If the issue is only outliers, then you don't need to address it because one a a thousand or ten thousand or however many games it happens are upsetting people.
If the potential for abuse outweighs the benefit of the solution you absolutely don't want to implement it. I am iron 4 and because of when I play, most of my games are with bronze and sometimes silver players on both teams. If the OPs suggestion were implemented, I can guarantee that I would report not only the toxic and bad players, but any other iron players on either team.....only for the reason that it decreases the chance of having a 2nd iron on my team, but increases the chance that the other team will have multiple iron players.....increasing my chance of winning.
Telephone Booth3 votesNo they wont do that. Apparently, altering matchmaking can be abused and cause all sorts of problems.
AJStarhiker2 votesThe problem with allowing blacklists for matchmaking is that it's not just your list that needs to be considered. There are 9 other lists that have to be considered. And the more people blacklisted, the harder it becomes to find acceptable players close to your skill level.
As far as avoiding having a player in your next game... just wait a few minutes before jumping back in. Grab a snack, run to the bathroom, or even just get up and walk around for a bit. Odds are, you'll never see the guy again and you'll also give yourself some space to detilt.

Beerstein1 votesAlgorithm implies much more complexity than is needed. Sadly, still not happening because #smallindiecompany
Have had some interesting experiences with reported people in 2 games in a row, usually inting etc. Never good for sure.
GatekeeperTDS3 votesstill not happening because
IT'S A FUCKING BAD IDEA.
Beerstein1 votesIT'S A FUCKING BAD IDEA.
Taking extra time to not match with one guy for literally ONE game with an ass is not a "bad idea" there's NOTHING but toxicity when this happens 100% of the time. There are WAY more than enough players to accommodate this for ONE game to allow people to not continue toxicity through games.
rujitra2 votesForcing innocent players to take extra time when they have done nothing wrong is a "bad idea".
Allowing players ANY form of control over matchmaking in any system is a "bad idea".

Lol, you overstate it to the extreme "control over matchmaking" you act like there's 100 players. If the MM system can't handle not matching two players that just got into it ONE game ago then there's a problem with the system, or population. It's not "control over MM" lol, that's absolutely asinine and overstated to the extreme to try to push your views/agenda.
rujitra2 votesI specifically said ANY control. It being small does not make it okay.
DBS Ronovon1 voteslol this has happened to me many times.
If you lose honor from a chat ban, you get put in another queue pool with other shitheads.
Git Gud.
