Feeders and AFKs

Kahwei·May 15, 2016·9 votes·803 views

Why is it that more people are ban for verbal abuse yet I have more afks and people feeding on purpose in every game. There is a mute button in this game that can be used when somebody is raging. There is not vote kick function if someone wants to feed every lane and then afk. it feels like everyday i play i get at least one afk and one feeder. Are they being punished? Because i know people verbal abusing are being punished. I think people who feed and afk should be taken more seriously and have a bigger penalty than 5 minutes leaver buster. If they're mad enough to feed the entire other team then they will most likely do it again. They're killing the gaming community and ruining game play.

I've said this so many times on this forum, riot does not care about feeders/afk/trolls. they only care about words. which is pathetic... mute them right? lol safe zone college kids are ruining everything. this is why you don't just give out ribbons for trying.

If riot cared about intentional feeders and AFKers, I'd still be gold 5 instead of silver 5.. But riot only cares about SKT and how much money their Esports get them instead of implementing things to reduce intentional feeders and afkers.

Pretty easy to tell.. having very high deaths is not always an indicator, but if their damage dealt is also extremely low compared to the rest of the team, such as dealing 1.5K damage the whole game while the rest of the team is doing 50K+ damage, then having both of these 2 factors it's pretty much guaranteed they are either a bot or feeding on purpose.

There's a thin line between complete noob and feeding on purpose, but when I see someone who is dealing less than 4K damage to champions the entire game, they pretty much weren't even playing. Minions in one lane do more damage to champions the entire game than that..

There are many reasons that a person could have many deaths such as an enemy smurfing, they are having a bad game, computer/internet issues (yes, this actually does happen and isn't just an excuse, even though hardly anyone believes it because it is abused), etc. etc. This creates a gray area where it becomes difficult to discern whether or not a person is intentionally feeding unless there is chat evidence or the match is watched and reviewed, both taking extreme amounts of manpower, the latter taking an unreasonable amount of time and manpower to review all of the intentional feeding reports, especially when there are some people who report for intentionally feeding when they are upset about a loss.

High Deaths + Extremely low damage dealt compared to other peoples' damage is pretty obvious as either feeding, using a bot, or AFK. Obviously some champions will do less damage, and less skilled players will do less damage, but there's a point where it's so low compared to the other players/ game time, that it's the same as if they are AFK.

Most players don't feed intentionally and AFKs do get punished. I guess you can argue AFKs should be punished harder if the frequency is too high.

the point is more that these afks and trolls should be punished much harsher than people who flame, does it hurt you in any way if somebody flames you? No but a feeder/afk/troll wastes potentially up to an hour of your time and in ranked can make a -40 lp difference

Flaming can affect people mentally and emotionally. This could also tilt teammates so they start to perform poorly.

Just wanted to point that out.

Nobody "Fed or AFK'd" Lyte in highschool, He was verbally abused. So now he gets to unleash his repressed tears on a different community that still hates him.
