So what if in ranked someone is found to be trolling, or afk the team can sue them for the lost LP?

Same concept for norms but with LP.

To sue someone is a legal term, since you don't actually own anything you didn't lose anything. So no, one cant, because they lack standing.

I'm using the word sue as the concept not the legal defintion.

There is no concept beyond the legal. Unless it is someone's name, it has no other concept.

Regardless, your concept is a horrible idea, withstanding the wording. I don't think there are concrete numbers, but theoretically, at least one player in ever game feels the loss was due to another player (s). How many ranked games are played a day?

Concept - an abstract idea; a general notion.

Sue - To receive compensation for damages.

Aye, no retort to the negatives of your concept, just jumping right into ad hominem.

Sue (verb): institute legal proceedings against (a person or institution), typically for redress

Oxford.. where exactly did you find your definition, urbandictionary?

The sue definition was merely to explain the concept used, not the dictionary form.

Except that is not how theory crafting works.

Socrates in "The Republic" didn't name his concept of a city state ruled by a council of "philosopher kings" a Democracy (nor any terminology that already had a system of government attached to it), because Democracy had a specific definition and characteristics.

This seems highly abusable. Not only does it potentially encourage toxicity to make players AFK from losing game so you can then sue them, but it also opens up using throwaway accounts in duo queue, where the throwaway account AFKs if the game looks like it will be lost so the primary account wouldn't lose LP.

Excellent point.

"Encourage toxicity" Becasue nobody minds being perma banned for being toxic. lol

Throw away account would be noticed quickly with the number of afks and be banned.

Horrible Idea. Riot would have to define terms and then divert resources to moderate. We already have a system in place for both.

system to return lost LP and IP to trolls?

La Belle Sauvage1 votes

A system to punish AFKs and Trolls.

Going AFK is never going to be okay, nor will be trollish behavior.

Look, if a player cannot commit to a single game of LoL perhaps that player should consider a different genre of game.

I always report AFKs regardless of the circumstance and expect the same if I AFK.

um ok? not sure what this has to do with the topic

La Belle Sauvage1 votes

Between the lines is this; then we don't need additional complications and retribution when LoL has a system in place to punish bad behavior.
