Do you report for other people's connection problems or not?

Dear Riot: I understand that you don't actually like me moving too high in rank, but why inflict on me the duo that alternated between feeding and disconnecting all game and blaming suddenly terrible lag? In the interest of fairness, I must insist that they be put on the opposing team in my next game.

Seriously, though, is there any point to reporting people for intermittent connection issues? And if not, what should be done about them so they don't poison my game? Or at least someone else's game.

Sure do. If you want to play ranked, use a reliable connection - ethernet is stable compared to wifi. If you willing subject yourself to packet loss you you dont have the right to blame your connection.

I report them. Test your internet before you play ranked. Makes too much sense to me.

P.S. I'm having the same issue. Feels like Rito is pairing me with all the connection issue players.

Were you also placed on the DNC list?

Nah, there isn't any reason to. Thats handled by the Leaverbuster system, which isn't triggered by reports and even if they were purposely afk it doesn't ban them anyway.

The only problem I have is if the person knows it's a problem and yet still went into a game. With this game though you never know. One game you could be perfectly fine, yet the next game after that could be nothing but lag spikes. Plus it might not even be on the player side so why should they get punished for something out of their control?
