Only get toxic players/actual intentional feeders in my series

iHardex·Aug 17, 2017·1 votes·647 views

Why is this a thing? Does the matchmaker have some sort of dumb algorithm that detects I'm in a series and gives me players who just nonstop type in chat then rage and intentionally feed the whole game? Just went 0-3 in my series to get back to gold (was gold last season and playing for the first time in over 6 months) because players in my games just were intentionally trying to have us lose after about 10 mins or less had passed in the game. The fact that this keeps happening over and over again really just makes the game not fun at all and reinforces why i stopped playing a while ago. Does this happen with anyone else where as soon as they are in their series they get these types of players or am I the only one..?

You're probably not the only one. It's probably not just in your series.

Let's say you roll a six-side dice 3 times. What's the chance you get a 1 all three times? 1/216.

Let's say the numbers represent skill level (relative to your skill in the ELO you're in). In any given game, the chance you get 4 teammates lower or same skill as you is about 6%. The chance you get any 1 teammate to be lower skill than you is about 80%.

It's very likely that you are experiencing games where someone of lower skill is matched with you. But that's due to luck and probability, not due to you being in a series.

Another point I'd like to make is that you may be having trouble advancing because you're "where you belong" for lack of a better way to say it. If the system considers your skill to be at your current ELO, you'll be winning about 50% and losing about 50% - which means it'd be hard for you to win a series (that requires 3/5). Just looking through your recent match history (I didn't actually count), it looks like you're about 50%/50%.

Does this mean you'll never be gold? I don't think so. You definitely look like a strong adc. Like.. a very strong adc. Build up your skill in one or two other roles and you'll probably be climbing.

Best of luck to you in your current series (if it hasn't already finished, op.gg won't update)!

I don't care if someone is bad or not or worse than me (and sometimes im the bad one, it happens to everyone). I'm just talking about people who say in chat "im gonna int feed so this ends sooner, you guys dont deserve to win youre terrible" or the same thing just take out "int feed" and put in afk. or just have people who are incredibly toxic throughout the game over someone giving up first blood. I really only see it be prevalent in series matches... but yeah my series is over. went 0-3 due to these issues. Had a shaco and tahm kench being toxic then the tahm kench and shaco both int fed at the end so it would end. 2nd game vi went afk for the last 10 mins or so and the urgot top int fed. the 3rd game the sion and yasuo kept going back and forth despite me telling them to mute each other and play. then the yasuo just kept inting.. so yeah. fun times in league of legends...

Sorry about the bad luck man.

The only thing I can say is that you must have some really piss poor luck. But I hope it turns up for you next time.

I was serious about you being a nice adc tho. Keep that shit up, get that good at one other lane and you'll climb like hotcakes.

just got back into my series. went 0 for 3 again lol same situation. i don't get it. but it's impossible to carry people who just intentionally try to lose the match for ppl. they shouldnt be allowed to play ranked.

Yes, the code looks something like this:

if ((player = iHardex) && (player(status) = in promo series))) set (teammate 1 = feeder) set (teammate 2 = feeder) set (teammate 3 = spammer) set (teammate 4 = rager) set (opponent 1 = Challenger) set (opponent 2 = Challenger) set (opponent 3 = Challenger) set (opponent 4 = Challenger) set (opponent 5 = Challenger)

Lol.. yeah looks right.

Fuck a series, that just seems to be the case with games, in general.

Riot ruined their community by issuing all of these perm bans so lightly.

Like idk what they think happens to the majority of the players that get perm banned, but I can assure you they don't just leave lmao. This can be evidenced in the apparent decline of the community over the years, and especially since they implemented the IFS system.

Then they permaban or 2 week ban players who get toxic BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY. I just went on the worst losing streak ever from 97lp in silver 1 to now just getting demoted to silver 3 within 2 days. I'm pretty close to quitting the game because most of those matches had people who were actually intentionally feeding at the end. Saying things like "you guys suck, you don't deserve to win" then intentionally feeding so it ends sooner. I tell the guy "you are the reason people can't get out of silver, players like you ruin the game fuck off" and then the other team all reports me for "toxic". like when people are just ruining games on end and multiple games in a row I get with these players, it just frustrates me. I'll take a break, come back and first game back, it's the same exact thing. But i'll get banned before these int feeders for being "toxic" about them int feeding in the first place. Look at my match history. I haven't played great all my games, but most of those matches had someone who either trolled at the start, int fed OR someone who got tilted then said "screw it, im inting so this ends quicker". I'm so sick of trying to play this game, improve as a player so I can have some fun games and rank up and then it just getting thrown away because of players like this IN EVERY SINGLE GAME. WIN OR LOSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE LIKE THIS EITHER ON MY TEAM OR THE OTHER TEAM. And i feel bad for players when it happens to them because i know exactly what it feels like. You do everything you can, try and cheer everyone up and on top of that you're carrying or at least winning lane and trying to carry or contribute THEN it just gets thrown away because someone had to intentionally feed. It's absolute garbage. Riot need to remove chat because all it's good for is for teammates going back and forth pissing each other off and then they need to just permaban instantly, players who int feed. I'm sick of it. I already took a year long break from this game for this exact reason and I'm about to just quit altogether. There are so many things I feel that players in the community could do better than riot employees to be honest. It's ridiculous.

You're not by any chance mentioning you're in a series in any of these games are you? Trolls relish triggering people and high pressure situations make their job easier, and the reactions their trolling illicits are usually stronger and more fulfilling for them.

I've also noticed that players that normally wouldn't flat out int are more likely to if they know they can ruin someone else's series. What better way to treat a sour mood than to spread It? (Being sarcastic, but seriously) Jealousy is angers ugly cousin after all. They could possibly be jealous that you're advancing and they're not.

Now that's not to say you even need to mention you're in a series for them to find out, unfortunately lolnexus has a feature that points out players currently in series as well.

You could also just be experiencing a rash of bad luck, like Chermorg mentioned.

If I were you I would just keep on persevering through the ugliness, you're bound to pierce the heavens eventually.

Your belief in yourself is your magic!

no i don't mention i'm in my series. Most games I try not to talk in games unless i try to calm people down or give call outs, etc.
