LETS TALK ABOUT LOSING LP WITH TROLLS/AFKS

SPVVPS·2/28/2018, 12:37:45 PM·2 votes·408 views

Ok, so I'm silver 1, scrub I know right, but I'm trying to improve and keep getting shit on when people on my own team int or afk, losing LP for this too frequently.

Take my last game for example, in champion select the mid lane is hovering talon, which would make us a full ad team. Someone (not me) bans his talon pick and so he proceeds to switch to singed mid, wishes us all a shit game and ints for 13 deaths until he AFKs.

The game before that I had a vayne adc, who was doing OK in lane and then dies twice and leaves the game, going AFK.

I tried my best in the 4v5 but we all know its not that easy, and I lose 2 games worth of LP.

People will say its part of the game, but how about this:

After the game, when riot review the reports these people inevitably get, why not get an LP refund if the report is legit? This would stop me feeling like I cant control my climbing when I get these knockbacks almost every day!

Thanks

It would promote toxicity and afking

"oh no we're losing the game" "fucking top is 0/5, he is the reason we lost" "fuck you top go afk we don't want to lose lp because you you you dumbfuck" "yeah fuck you top!"

Or

"oh no we're losing the game" "dw guys this isn't my main account just one of my smurf ill go afk so you don't lose."

It would be too exploitable.

Also in this case: Does a professional soccer/football team get a loss prevented if one of their players gets injured on the field? No they don't. Part of the game.

Mostly because doing this actually creates a rather toxic environment, where you WANT to soft encourage teammates to feed/troll/AFK to preserve your LP, which staying just inside the bounds of what's okay yourself. Making someone else rage becomes the best way to ensure that you keep LP in a losing game, and that's super problematic for the community.

LETS TALK ABOUT WINNING LP AGAINST TROLLS/AFKS

Ok, so I'm silver 1, scrub I know right, but I'm trying to improve and** keep shitting on the enemy team**, winning LP for this too frequently.

Take my last game for example, in champion select the enemy mid lane is hovering talon, which would make them a full ad team. Someone (not me) bans his talon pick and so he proceed to switch to singed mid, wishes them all a a shit game and ints for 13 deaths until he AFKs

The game before that I played against a vayne adc, who was doing OK in lane and then dies twice and** leaves the game**, going AFK.

They tried their best in the 5v4 but we all know its not that easy, and** I win 2 games worth of LP.**

and so on and so on.

You realize that if you're not the guy trolling the chances of having a troll on the enemy is higher, right?

And you realize that if we observe every single game you ever played that had someone flaming or leaving the game we would actually see that you gained more LP than you lost.

This is a clear case of confirmation bias.

Go check the wiki article and see how wrong you are

So after a long hiatus, I'm back yet again on that ranked climb and I definitely see what you're talking about. Landing in in Silver 2 for my placement matches has been a cluster fuck of really bad players who can really tilt the fuck out of you. In my opinion though if you're good enough you will get out eventually get out. It happens every year best wishes.
