Our top lane just intentionally made us lose a 60 minute ranked game. This needs to result in a ban.

We were at the enemy nexus around 50 minutes, and he just walked away and recalled with full health after saying 'nah team doesn't deserve to win'

Can we please have harsher punishments for this behavior? This was a massive fucking waste of time and LP for all of us, and this behavior is not uncommon, suggesting that it's rarely punished.

Get a replay saved to your PC. Take screenshots of that replay (what was said, what was pinged, what was ignored) and upload those to the Support website in your ticket. Ask if you can have someone from Support investigate that game because you feel the player was grieving the game.

Support is very responsive. The report system is automated.

You have to hit both high and low sometimes for outlier stuff, but you will get results.

It's called a bit of freaking fresh air. Also mixed with saltiness of an ex-smoker.

Want some? Probably better than whatever aerosol can you're sniffing.

(Get off my comment. Wasn't meant for you).

Riot? If you would be so kind....

So what can we do? The punishment for this because of how difficult it is to catch is a 14 day ban. Obviously since you wrote this post you would have some example of what would be better.

Dedicate more resources to detecting and punishing it? I'm fairly certain doing it even once will not result in any punishment what so ever.

This behavior is constant at Platinum/Diamond; if it were punished harshly or often, we wouldn't be seeing it as often as we do. Even in cases where a player is intentionally feeding, you often see their history of it going back 7+ days.

So do you know if there is a way (code wise) to detect when something like this happens? I ask because you would want a system that only punishes people you know for a fact that is doing this on purpose. Would you be ok knowing that if a system like this was in place that innocent people could get punished, and if that is the case how would you deal with actual unfair punishment?

I do agree that punishment for people like this should be harsh, and it should be caught quicker. But that just isnt possible right now. It would require too much money/manpower as this doesnt just happen in Rank, it happens in all game modes across the world/servers. They cannot possibly catch every single person in a timely manner.
