A Method to Reduce False Reports

zWaMciPEne··1 votes·713 views

Alot of players experience** lag or MS/Ping issues at some point **during league of legends. It can be a storm, or perhaps a car wreck that suddenly takes out your internet from a decent 52ms to 300, 400, 500 or even sometimes a horrifying 18,000 ms! Player are so fast to jump on players even in normals and cuss them calling them afks, leavers, trolls. I suggest that we bring a feature to league of legends that shows your teammates ping just above the champion with a option to toggle it on and off for the game. It would be unfair to see the enemy teams ping so that is not needed, however players will be~~ less likely~~ to report someone AFK, Troll, or otherwise if they simply see 789ms floating above the supports head.

This also improves gameplay dynamics for working with your team, when the adc says "guys im lagging pretty hard" you will be able to see that he is currently spiking to 500 ms, and that tells you as support "This is not the time to go HAM" , "I need to focus on protecting him even more right now".

There is alot _more negative attitude than we would like to admit _in the league community and hopefully this feature would cut back on the false reports, improve gameplay during the game, and overall be a good thing.

uhm... why would that help with "false reports"? in the end the leavebuster deals with afk's reports of someone being afk are almost useless. so this idea is also kinda useless.

There are no "false reports".

Just like the law you either broke it or you didn't. The reason or the circumstances do not matter. So you had a storm and your latency was over 9000 and you get DCed in a game? Somehow that is supposed to mean that you shouldn't get punished? Absolutely not. The rules exist. You broke the rule. The storm did not magically appear over your head. You either now know that if there is a storm, you shouldnt be playing ranked, or you continue to repeat your mistake and queue in storms and ruin games for your team.

Your personal opinion of the circumstances of a rule violation do not factor into whether that rule should be enforced or not. Rules and laws are not enforced on a case by case basis (unless you are rich, then laws are different).

Riot's system has a report verification process through a computer. If you are reported for breaking a rule, the computer verifies the report. It checks. Did you break the rule? if so "X" if not delete. It doesn't check to see the whether in your area at the time of the report. It doesnt care who started it. You either broke the rule or you didn't.

School busses have strobe lights, a kid with epileptic seizures is walking down the road. The strobe kills him. It is the law you cannot kill someone so our school system should be shut down and the bus driver should be put in jail from the logic you presented me with.

What does a kid with epileptic seizures getting killed by strobe lights have to do with riots methods of dealing with false reports?

Ping used to be shown in the loading screen.

Riot removed it because people were giving other players shit for having a high or unsteady ping.

This.

Showing it wouldn't even fix what the OP wants. For starters, ping only shows 1 aspect of lag which is network conditions. A person can still have video lag. Someone lagging doesn't change anything about reports for AFK. Lag, true or not, does not excuse an AFK.

Just like when you can't go to work because of a court summons it is something that is out of your control. Suddenly the storm from one state over changes course and knocks your internet out, or a car crashes into a important infrastructure regarding your particular ISP. If lag does not excuse a AFK than court summons does not excuse an absence to work. If your car is hit by a tornado and you cannot make it to work you should have known that and called a cab, sorry your unemployed based on that logic.

This is why leaverbuster has leniency built in. You don't get punished for leaving a game. You get punished for leaving games at an unacceptable rate. I have left games before. I will probably leave games in the future. I have never been punished by leaverbuster and I don't expect that I ever will.

If you tell your boss you can't make it to work because of a tornado over and over your job is going to be at risk.

I didn't know the reason they removed it. Thanks for letting me know that, I doubt my idea a little now but still support it.

They had this before all these changes a couple of years ago. Granted it was only in the loading screen, but it does help in validating when someone lags. I can say especially living in Hawaii and the servers changing to a different location. We got hit really hard and what was once between 90-100 ping, went to about 120-130. Not that bad, but still from time to time it will rocket to the thousands, and usually the only way to fix it is to restart the whole client. it doesnt happen too often, so i have never had to deal with Leave Buster.

But i can see why they no longer do stuff like this. People will find any reason to bash someone. And lag is something people love to jump on others for. Heck ive been accused of intentionally knowing my lag was bad and still played when that is never the case. Usually if i am lagging and its that badly i try to explain myself and when the game is done i just stop playing for that day.

Sarutobi I have also been accused of "intentionally" playing knowning my MS would be high or unbearable however it was a fine 52ms all game and suddenly spiked to 18,000 and didnt go back down for hours. I was reported and faced leaverbuster because not only did my game disconnect but my client experienced a fatal bug where all champions vanished from the screen during my promotional series. I decided to restart the internet router and my game but it did not resolve my internet, there was clear sunny skies outside. My isp said that they are performing emergency maintenance when I called , however once i clicked leave I was unable to reconnect or even open League of Legends Client. Which means I share this experience with you. I was cussed and berated by my teammates all the way until the point where my internet ultimately crashed, and I was unable to report the hateful hurtful slurs they used on me as well.
