Why are there so many intentional feeders, stealth afkers and champion select trolls in this game?

Especially in Silver/Gold. You'd think they'd get banned or something. I submit support tickets any time it happens. [sg-syndra]

STEALTH AFK, THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE TERM!

I always called it "afk walking" or just trolls, people that stop playing the game yet they still move on the map doing nothing on purpose not pushing the wave after lv7 and starting to reduce resources on the map by stealing your jungle camps when they have a fat wave in their proximity that is chipping and getting eaten by the turret if you call them out.

I stopped sending support tickets to point out trolls since riot just replies to me either a canned message wishing me the best of luck (happened 2 mails that were ctrl+c and ctrl+v) or they just straight up tell me "Sucks to be you lmao we can't do shit about it lol".

Apparently for the clown community it's just me being bitter and bad (coach btw) because it's obviously my fault that after having helped my syndra to take mid turret she stops farming (and therefore pushing after lv7) at 60 cs and ends a 30 minute game with 100 cs despite her being able to easily oneshot the wave by pressing 2 buttons on it (only highly skilled people can do that). I'll just pass on the fact that after i asked her to go back to her lane because she missed 6 waves already she started following me trying to steal my farm and grabbing my camps resetting them, that's just me being a noob it's ok

Nice nickname btw.

Riot won't do anything. Its just a bad game they had after all.

The problem with all that is it is very hard to judge when you are not in the game yourself. I used to get flamed a lot in the early game for being "afk" while farming my jungle/both jungles with shyvana. If Riot trusted people reporting me for "afk" I would've been banned and it wouldn't make sense because I actually had a good winrate.

I totally get your point tho, and I think it's about time Riot implements an automated system that punishes you for not meeting minimum requirements based on your elo. For example if you are a gold ADC and regularly get less than 5cs/min or deal less than 500 dmg/min, it's safe to say that you are boosted or trolling. Either way your elo will go down which is a "punishment" in itself but I feel like it's too slow and not enough. If you are silver it could be 4cs/min. If you play support in plat and regularly get less than 2 vision score/min etc etc ... Note that the numbers are quite low because the idea is not to punish people having bad games or being bad in general, it is aimed at differentiating players from trolls/ghost afk. This would need great caution however to account for the various play styles which could lead to very different numbers. But I think there is a minimum threshold that defines wether or not you were playing the game.

Because it's free [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Probably because it's entertaining whereas the rest of the game might not have been.
