There should be a way to leave a game when a player is going troll/be toxic

Why Ban My Main··4 votes·660 views

Was just in a lobby where someone was auto filled support and was obviously not ok with it. They ended up just swearing and saying they weren't going to support our adc. If it weren't for someone on my team for dodging, I would bet they would've gone adc and screwed out bot lane up (they picked Miss Fortune and said they weren't supporting). I feel like there should be a way to dodge a game, without losing lp and having a wait time, when someone decides to do something like this.

Mf can be a support. From my experience if you ignore them and don't leave they either leave themself due to either fearing consequences or don't want to loose lp, or they Just play the role they were given.

Nah, they will likely act like the ADC and get all the farm etc, forcing the one who got ADC to do support or find another lane...... Unfortunately it will happen but there are times that they actually help win the game.

Exactly. Don't give them any attention or talk to him in positively and more often than not he will see that you guys are not the same team he got tilted over and he'll actually try to play seriously after a while. I've come back from so many games like this, even if he does initially troll and take cs.

But most of the time they don't even go that far. A lot of folks are all talk. Just get in the game and you'll be fine, as long as you don't let him tilt you.

The link was likely removed because you are showing their name. This is not ok to be calling out someone on the forums by name because this will only cause more trouble. I would advise ditching the link.

Also, if there was a way to dodge without getting a penalty.... How do you make it so its not abused by trolls that will use it to just dodge many games in a row to piss people off?

They did that specifically to piss people off because they did not get their way. What you did here is give them credit for pissing you off.

I disagree. You will experience when you grow older, that at times you will have to work with very unpleasant people. Like, actually work with them. And deal with them, because you're being paid to do so.

The world has unpleasant people in it. Get over it. However, just like in real life, there are mitigation tools at your disposal. Depending on who they are, you can report them to HR, not do business with them again, etc. In League, you can report them after the game. And hope that they were toxic enough to be banned so you'll never see them ever again.

I for one appreciate that kids who play this game can learn a life skill as important as how to deal with disagreeable people. Some of them go about it the wrong way, but hey, it's a learning process.

this is a really bad analogy as you are not being paid. also if someone is super toxic they have tons of accounts so they don't care about reports. in the future sometimes the person your describing is a major client and the only way out of the situation is to quit. quitting is ok learning when to quit is also a valuable life skill.

What I am trying to say is, both your job and playing a game of League is a commitment. You're joining up with other people to accomplish a goal. And sometimes you meet some shitty people. I get that. But walking away from every shitty person you meet, not doing business with EVERY shitty person you meet, or not playing a game with EVERY shitty person you meet does not teach you the important skills you need to conduct a successful lifestyle. Quitting the moment you meet a bad client or bad coworker or bad teammate on League of Legends goes directly against that commitment.

And you're right. Learning when to quit is a great life skill. If he's really being that toxic, then losing 3 LP is a pretty good deal for going against your commitment. Yes, you're going against YOUR commitment when you leave. You wanna do that? Do it. But you're paying for it. You don't want to commit yourself even the tiny smidgen it takes to get into the game and validate that he's ACTUALLY trolling? Then that's partially on you too. For not even trying to work as a team. Remember, you're neither entitled to nor guaranteed an A-team. You gotta learn to work with what you got. In game or in real life.

I disagree, I play this game for fun, I don't get paid to do so. This is a game, a fantasy people use to escape real life. I don't know why there are so many people like yourself that can't wrap their heads around this basic, simple concept.

Plus getting rid of someone like this in the workplace is a lot more difficult than you make it out to be. It's pretty clear that you don't know what you're talking about, but thanks for the life lessons.

THANK YOU for proving my point.

It's hard to get rid of shitty people in the workplace. Meaning, you have learn how to deal with them. It's a very important skill and I'm glad people like you have a chance to begin learning it earlier on.

And a fantasy game, where people try to escape real life? You're putting words in my mouth and at least a few others. League of Legends is a fun game, but life is more fun. I wouldn't trade it for anything. And life requires you to meet some shitty people. And the more people like you learn REAL life skills, the better life becomes for everyone!

You can't stay in your fantasy safe space forever, kid.

You think League is a commitment similar to a job and it gives you real life experience? I like the condescending assumption that I am a kid living in a safe space, when you are equating real life experiences to ones in game. For instance you wouldn't say something like "you can't stay in your safe space forever kid" to anyone's face but you are doing it now because you are hiding behind a computer screen.

It's pretty obvious you have no life skills and are the poster child for why people shouldn't look to league for "life lessons". Stick to taking advice and not giving it, it clearly is not your forte.

That's okay, you can condescend me if it makes you feel better. League has also taught me how to deal with toxic people, and I'm thankful for that. My life is better for my advice, and if you don't want to take it it's really only your loss. Enjoy your "fantasy life".

Thankfully I don't have to work with you because those "mitigation tools" you speak of like the mute button aren't available in the real world. Keep on preaching about all those awesome lessons you learned from league like playing the victim, I'm sure it will carry you far in life. Seems like you've learned a lot so far, you've almost climbed out of Bronze!

This isn't real life, though. This is a game where players can easily be controlled. Although I completely agree that people in real life can't be avoided, and you should instead still show them respect, an online game is not a similar scenario.

Don't negotiate with elo terrorists. He wants to troll, fine. Report him after and move on. If your close to your promos or something then just eat the dodge and wait a minute before requeing.
