My first promotion game, I had a trio who intentionally fed, and a seperate player who tried but was just generally toxic..

As you can tell by KDAs, and the chat, its obvious the shit I had to go through.

Lol I wanted to get to gold in flex q just to say "yea i made it blah blah, gimmie any season rewards at the end" but after my literal first game I don't think I can take this.

I really wish riot did something about these gangbang reports cause I feel like people ganging up on and abusing you isn't reportable, I've had it way too many times where trios reported me, I counter reported, but there was no result cause either 1: I wasn't toxic at all and nothing I did was reportable, or 2: Because it was only me reporting it just looked like I was a salty player who hated his team.

I reported all of these guys for trolling and feeding, but I know I won't see results.

I think at some point I might have to just join 5 man teams cause playing flex q as a solo player seems more toxic and tilting than I can handle. Or I might just abuse /mute all but I like communication with my team to some extent to direct them to do certain things properly

Was there ever an instance of an entire premade getting punished? I've never heard of or personally seen one, maybe a specific player, but that's it.

Well, gang bang reports don't do anything. As 9 reports does the same thing as 1 report. You also know it well enough that when doing nothing wrong, those reports will just be false reports.

What Riot needs is to do is to educate the people more that gang bang reports don't do anything and neither does false reports.

If this was building towards their case, then you won't see a notification, as the system only shows your notifications if your game was the one that punished them, and not when they are punished down the road.

Alot of people don't see the system working thus feel the same way as you, so Riot is working on improving the system's visibility. It will most likely be released after the new client is up and running smoothly and hopefully we get something like this.

There actually was an instance of this during 4-man DynamicQ; The 4-man premade would be stomping the game and then they would surrender at 20 mins, thus frustrating the solo team mate. They did this in multiple occasions and all got punished through manual review.

That case is pretty rare. People will typically be punished on separate occasions for verbal abuse as they normally play games without their premades and will be at different thresholds of punishment.

I have a feeling flex queue is going to be for trolling and solo is going to be normal ranked, that's how it will all play out.

My flex queue placements were cool except for getting my secondary role 5 times.

I laugh my ass off when people say "Report X. all 9 of us report to permaban" "enjoy ur ban" as if The system is magically gonna insta-ban JUST FOR THEM. they dont know how reports work. Just further proof they want to feel special "-i- got someone banned, I am a good person" #ReportSmug

You might want to blur out the names of the other summoners aside from you. So Riot's spaghetti morals don't remove it.

flex queue is the troll Q noting good will come out of this and riot knows that.
