The AFK's win. I lose.

I got reported, fair enough but then I looked at the chat logs and two of those games had an afk and the other had a troll Vlad support. I bet you they didn't get punished but its ok to punish me for being frustrated with them.

The trolls and afks always win in this system while the poor saps like me and the other decent players had to suffer because of them and lose unfair games and yet, if we decided to act against these jerks then we get punished?

Logic fails to explain this? Where is the AFK getting banned or punished? But no....lets punish the people who actually played the game and tried to win....

Seriously thinking of just leaving League for Hearthstone. At least there I don't have to worry about trolls, afks and unfair chat restrictions.

EDIT: In light of these recent events from now on I will be radio silent, dead air, I won't communicate, criticize or compliment at all in game since that seems the only way to do things. Ill just use the useless report system o combat the trolls and afks. Wish me luck

How do AFKs win? He probably had something urgent so he had to afk, he still loses LP.

We all deal with trolls and AFKS and yet somehow most of us don't get banned for flaming or toxicity. We know how frustrating it can be, doesn't mean we should sink to their level. Two wrongs don't make a right. You're better than that, or at least you should be.

Wait...you are upset only because you're assuming those who were afk didn't get punished? That makes absolutely no sense, why be so upset over an assumption that may not be true.

AFKs do get a serious punishment. Damn you, 20 minute queue times! item 3070

The system did the right thing in punishing you, you were toxic as hell. I'd personally hate being matched up with you. Just report the AFK at the end of the match, instead of passive aggressively typing all game when you should be playing

Even if you're in an unfair situation you should just stay silent, no one will feel bad about reporting you because your in a 4v5. On the contrary, the current toxicity of this season means most people are looking for any reason to report. If someone curses even once for any reason and they are playing a champion I hate, got babysat, fed and got carried etc. Then I report them

okay so first off

{quoted}

to make it short ..offensive langauge, harassment (calling for report)

you didn't observe the rules and because of that .. punishment is correct ....

afk/leaver are punished as you are ... the system is working as intended.

False. maybe its different on you're server but again i kind of doubt it. I'm fairly certain anyone who's played bronze especially B5 and B4 on NA knows that they and let me emphasize that afk's and trolls NEVER get banned. Some might be wondering.. "Why?" its because nobody ever reports them. The report system is heavily broken. So without a majority of reporting them nothing will happen. So let me give you all an example of how NA works: You play 3 matches and could get the same troll on ur team every game (unlikely but just for example). This player could alone or with assistance of other people afking etc. cause you to lose each match. So say you report this person each time. 98% of the time nobody on the opposing team will report someone despite the most blatant intentional feeding or having 2 afks, etc. Then, you're lucky if even one other player on YOUR team reports them even if you did break the rule and call for their report. So really the only effect that sending the report each game does, is lower the value of your own report. Scurvy is certainly not the only NA player who's experienced this type of gameplay and i'm sure its even caused some to consider playing a different game. However, Scurvy did break rules, I'm guilty of the same from time to time as well. I do have to say though if something isn't done, it will not bode well for the game's player-base. I speak from personal eyewitness experience, I've played mmo's of all types and something they all have in common is : If there is a vastly apparent issue that doesn't get addressed it will end poorly for the game in general.

That aside I agree with the person who said real life comes first and I understand people will have to afk sooner or later. My policy is: If an enemy goes afk, i ask there team after the match if its report worthy (should we report). On my team, If someone goes afk and doesn't say a single thing, unfortunately thats a report. It takes 2 seconds to say "Sry g2g" other factors can also make a difference to me at least whether i report or not. Like if they come back within a few minutes it's unlikely i report them unless they feed after coming back. Anyways i'm sorry you've shared in some of my experience Scurve and I sincerely hope something is done very soon. Hoping for the best and Fearing the worst :/
