Feeding punishment

tpeg2140··8 votes·1,446 views

Riot, pls. You guys really need to up the punishment for feeding. I just played with a guy who admitted to feeding because he was S1 last season and needs to get to B5. His match history is 14 games of buying one item and going 0/10+. How is he still able to queue up and ruin everyone else's fun? This is why League is losing players to Overwatch, they punish this harshly.

This is ridiculous, and makes playing as a low-elo player frustrating.

If post-game reports don't seem to be working or you can't submit your report, you can use a Support Ticket to report players like this. I've already sent one so you don't have to do it this time, if you haven't already.

It's not that there is little or no punishment for intentional feeding, it's just that the system for detecting it isn't good enough. When they do get caught, it's an automatic 14 day or permanent ban, so Blizzard isn't actually treating griefers any more harshly.

They have updated a statement that says in game reports are the only way punishments are dealt out, and reports sent through support tickets will not be punishing.

I addressed that elsewhere, that isn't what that means; it is saying that tickets do not enter the report feedback system, not that Riot will not take action on ticket reports.

Ah I see, thank you for correcting me so I don't spread misinformation.

Hey Deep Terror Nami, one question.

I've rcently had an incident where I was playing with 4 other premades. One of our premades decided to start feeding hard for whatever reason. Two of us who didn't know this guy before reported him and he just got punished instantly, with a 14 days ban. We all checked his match history, asked him if he had any punishments before etc. We couldn't find anything (of course we don't know how he generally acts when playing solo).

So can it be that premades reporting another premade they queued up with have way more powerful reports or is it just that none of us knew this guy was acting like this before?

It's just that the system was easily able to confirm the intentional feeding. You don't need to feed regularly to get banned for it, you just need to get caught. The system kind of sucks at doing this so oftentimes someone can int feed for a while though.

Ah okay, thx. I guess he won't feed a again anyways. He learned the hard way ^^

while we appreciate the PSA, name shaming isn't allowed on the boards.

Please remove those images else you will get a warning on the boards.

If you wish to report him, please send those images to support.riotgames.com -> general game question (or something like that).

The name is blocked out, there's nothing wrong with it.

I blocked their name out. Is that not enough?

it is. It was my bad for assuming you didn't as I only quickly glanced over the small thumbnail.

I appologize for not looking properly first before shooting.

I know how you feel, I recently played with a player that was being an absolute child because the enemy banned the champion he was going to play so instead of playing another champion or even dodging he locked in a pick that didn't fit into our comp and literally said in all chat "who wants kills" and goes to each lane giving kills to each person on the enemy team and yet when I scold him for this telling him to stop I receive behavioral punishment and he received nothing despite the reports?? This is why I need over watch League is putting more priority in people's feelings (not that it's entirely a bad thing) over the actual game itself. This is why I need Overwatch...

There are a few examples I remember of people telling similar stories. Unfortunately, the intentional feeding system is almost completely automated. It was also noted there was a good number of false positives, and as players have said, many who are intentional feeding and not getting picked up.

I've observed a decent number of innocent players getting bans for it (myself and others included), and those who are so clearly intentional feeding + admitting it and never even getting a slap on the wrist.

The system needs work. It's tough though, there's so many players and not enough Riot Support members to manually check every single case and look at every single detail. Bring back the tribunal perhaps?
