Do I really deserve to be in low priority queue because LoL crashes multiple times per game?

My game generally crashes at least once per game. It's usually a second or so after the first death, but not necessarily. My most recent game crashed 3 times in the first 5 minutes before I threw my hands up and gave up.

Do I really deserve to be in low priority queue because Riot's code crashes on my system? Can someone at Riot review and see that the games I've been leaving have been due to crashes?

This is akin to saying "Do I deserve to be at fault for a traffic light not functioning, me driving straight through it assuming it's green, and hitting someone who stopped, thought they had the right of way (as it's a four way stop when a light isn't functioning)?" The answer is yes, it is your fault.

  1. The issue is more likely your computer, your OS, other programs on your computer, or something you're doing than Riot's code. If it was Riot's code, it would be happening to everyone, or at least a very large portion of the player base (even different computer companies use similar chips, and unless your computer is completely custom built it's virtually guaranteed another League player has the exact same computer you do).

  2. Even if it is Riot's fault, you're queueing up for games while you know you have issues, which is your fault. Resolve your issues before you keep AFKing games.

YES.

You should take the time to diagnose and fix your game. Re-install, repair, solicit technical support, etc. By repeatedly entering games knowing that you expect to crash multiple times, you're deliberately putting your teammates at a disadvantage every time you play. How can you not take responsibility for that?

You say you've tried. Try harder. I can honestly say I'd sooner quit than continue to play under the conditions you have, because I respect other gamers enough not to fuck up their games.

Chermorg's analogy is fine, but I'd take it a step further. You're intentionally putting your unsuspecting teammates' interests at risk every time you queue up. I'd liken that to consistently offering to take your friends on important car rides to various appointments, despite knowing that your air bags don't function, your license is suspended, you're partially blind, and your friends aren't told any of this until they're on the highway with you.

it is BS what that advisor said based on assumptions. for instance, i did really EVERYTHING! including windows 10 reset and re-install everything! and i still have bugsplats every time.

So it is Riot that changed things.

is it the players fault? No. Should he play ranked? Only if he thinks / knows he will not get kicked out of the game. And he had the idea he could. Why should a sane person play ranked if he know he cant play it?

so are you saying in many words he is insane or stupid?

((but when can we know? especially now with all the things that is going on?))

No, you don't. Trolls don't deserve to get banned either. The game isn't fair. /s
