My analogy on why Feeders, AFKs, and Trolls are so infuriating.

Imagine the Troll, Feeder, AFKer is a Criminal he has stolen something that belongs to you in this case your LP, your promo game, or causes you to get demoted. Riot will be the police, that will investigate, catch and punish the criminals for their crime great job Riot.

The problem is that the damage has already been done, the property that was stolen from you (your LP, your promos, your rank) is gone. In the real world if the police recovered your property they return it to you. However in this case Riot makes the arrest, and prosecutes them for their crime but instead of returning your property they decide to keep it for themselves and give you the finger.

And that is why having a Feeder Troll and/or AFK screwing around in Ranked pisses so many people off, what makes it more infuriating is that it happens somewhat often, and why it feels so helpless, you are essentially being robbed of something you worked hard for and that it will never be returned to you, forcing you to earn it all over again.

but sometimes you benefit from crime by winning lp when the enemy team has a troll, feeder, or afker.

Further extending this analogy, if you ever met a robber in real life, you'd probably cover your eyes, tell him he can have whatever he wants, and not say anything else to try not to antagonize him into hurting you further.

But that's the problem. In League, the thief/troll doesn't actually hurt you. You aren't really afraid of him, so you'll lash out and try to hurt him instead of trying not to make it worse. You might feel "justified" in doing so, but you're not. Being aggressive and negative in chat ruins the experience for the rest of your team, regardless of who started it or why you're doing it.

those who troll a lot are summoners who have given up or are upset that they lost a lot and want to ruin other people's game, and this provokes this formula the real reason of why the community is hating on bronze and unranked players.

This is of course my story http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/AklAMUZ9-the-hate-of-the-community-towards-bronze-and-unranked-people?comment=00010000

But again sadly we have trolls and a community full of haters and tryhards, i'm really sorry for what you experienced in ranked but nothing that you or we can do to fixed it, it dose not matter if riot implements a new Tribunal system cause the community has the last laugh and if they want to see the poor players witch are bronze and unranked being perma banned then it will happen man sadly one day a case will appear and i do hope it happens cause this game will never be a friendly sportsmanship game, i'm really sorry if i sound negative but this is the community we are talking about the entire NA community the true face of what they are.

i Troll cause i tried so hard to try to get to gold and yet I encounter trolls who bump me down all the ladder not just once but several times like every other game is just a straight troll so i gave up in grinding and trying no point in it so i learn to have fun with the game which is trolling instead of waiting time in games where someone else troll lol

One of the biggest counters is Riot can do nothing to prevent LP lost from these games because then people will just AFK to abuse any safeguard that is put in place.

I personally went out to try to find a solution

It was a system to help players when bad games occur and restore accountability and responsibility to Ranked as well. I too, feel everyone's pain in regards to it and I wish more would look at it, link it and tell their friends, and actually comment on it. I know there are some things people may or may not like (which I think needs to be voiced), but I tried to create a fair system and even a few other things to help alleviate frustration in this area. I tried.
