I just had a game that started promisingly, then 5 pings later, the whole team goes AFK.

I don't think the people from my last game were adults. Mid was 0/1, jungle was 0/1, bot was 2/0, I was 1/1 Lucian gets 2 kills then before recalling, pushes the wave in to reset the waves and get some experience advantage at which point our jungle decides to start a fight, which our mid joined despite their jungler being 2/0 and obviously they start getting their asses handed to them. As God intended, they both die. Dying 2 times in a row didn't set well with mid so he starts pinging question marks (btw, the most toxic and useless ping ever, never actually used for MIA) on Lucian, i don't know why but the support also starts joining in. Now, Lucian gets tilted and says "Ping me once more and I'm out", our mid spam pings "Lucian - Alive" (btw also pretty much useless other than contributing salt) He DCs. "Oh well", our mid and sup stands at base and keeps using their skills on an ally, dc-d Lucian. After another death, the jungle goes afk. And there we have it, in a span of 20 sec, a winnable game turns into a 1v5.

What do you expect? You are playing summer break league of legends now, it won't get better until autumn.

I had a game like this yesterday and decided to quit playing ranked for the day since that was my opening match ^^;

Sorry! I hope you get a couple nice wins to make up for that.

This is why I tell people: One ping is enough. There is never a reason to spam pings... if a person is too stupid to understand after 1 ping, they're too stupid to understand after 5, 10, or even 20

That doesn't justify what they did mind you... leaving/afking is a stupid way to get revenge.

A direct result of RIOT loosely regulating AFKing.

Had a 0/2 Ahri top some days ago that ragequit with that 2nd death. Ahri top all-capped some gibberish then disconnected. As far as I'm aware, completely unpunished.

The rest of the team was winning but the poor kid couldn't handle not being the mvp I guess.

Edit: Yep. Completely unpunished and still playing. Ranked, no less.

Riot needs to start being harsher on people who do this.

Once someone types ANYTHING indicating they're leaving because of a team mate's actions, they need a 14 day ban.

inb4 "OH SO SOMEONE LOSES INTERNET AND THEY R BANNED?!?!" because people are still unable to read in 2019

I feel like pings are the new way to circumvent the toxicity system. Nothing tilts teammates quite like spam pings after they've made a mistake.

Additionally, people give up so easily...since it's been promoted as okay for so long nobody thinks there's anything wrong with going afk whenever they deem games "unwinnable".

this game is a fkn joke... Play perfectly, your team loses. Lose LP, lose MMR, you're punished by riot for their ineptitude to balance teams. Troll, your team carries, you get LPs when you don't deserve them. Pathetic botched job.

Well, if they didn't say anything bad in chat, it should by fine by Rito.

Leavers is something that you can't do anything. I have lost countless games because of them. Today I was playing a winning ranked game and only the nexus was left. The adc went afk, so we lost.

Just had this earlier today for the first time...

Could tell in champ select. Mid wanted Yasuo but he didn't get him because nobody on the team picked him for the swap. He picked Teemo and everyone else was freaking.

I made a big mistake early ganking top and we both died. This led to top losing his mind immediately. Soon he spent more time typing about how bad I was rather than getting CS or focusing on the game. This Mordekaiser had 30 CS compared to Yasuo 106 when lane phase ended. Bot soon died on their own and I believe mid after. Everyone is spamming FF at 15 - especially the support and top. At 15, I voted NO and people freaked out even more. I suggested adc farm or top farm to catch up but the still pissed off Top from the 2 minute gank kept calling me names instead and wanting to spam and complain to the enemy team. Now they're AFKing at the fountain and I'm the only one playing. Game ends, finally.

Easily the most miserable team I've ever had.

Well, I must be the only one to use the MIA ping as intended... [zombie-nunu-bummed]
