What is my recourse when 5 of my last 13 losses are from leavers?

That's 38% of my losses due to leavers. Some of those games I might have lost anyway, but you don't even have a fair shot to win.

This is a full blown epidemic. I have never seen it this bad, and from reading the Boards, I know it's not just me. And I'm not talking about people who leave a minute before the game ends, I'm talking people who say "GG game's over" and disconnect 10 minutes into the match. I just got out of a game where my mid died 5 times in a row, said "Guess I'm trolling, bye" and immediately quit. They summoned rift, two other people on my team said "Screw it let's open mid i'm not playing a 4v5" and they won the game in 15 minutes.

Hi again! You have more consistent issues with leavers than anyone I've ever seen in the history of this game ever.

The only thing 100% in common in all your games is you. Can you think of any reason whatsoever that you experience this (and complain about it) more than most people?

Play with friends so you dont have to rely on complete strangers who may have to leave for various reasons, or just wont leave when things go bad for them. Otherwise, i cant think of any other recourse other than just deal with it, which obviously aint much of a recourse. I hate leaving it to chance with random players, because yes, too many AFKs!

It sounds sorta like someone accused them of trolling.

As someone else mentioned, the only way to avoid leavers and annoying/toxic randoms - is to game with a full group of friends. Outside of full groups, you have to deal with randoms and randoms can end up raging, leaving, being toxic, or carrying the game. You never know, but that's just part of multiplayer gaming - idc what game you're on. I know when it happens multiple times in a row it FEELS especially awful, but it's not anything abnormal or unheard of.

Playing with a full group isn't something most of us can do, but perhaps try playing with 2 other people, so at least TWO of the ppl on the team are ppl you're friends with - lowering the chance of a bad apple......but it's still a gamble. Just report the person, and move on to the next game........or take a break if you keep getting bad randoms back-to-back - ya know?
