Ranks: People throwing to drop to B. V.

hcyqb9P2hN·Jan 24, 2016·2 votes·435 views

People are literally joining rank queues and throwing games just to derank to bronze 5, and making summoners lose their promos in the new season on alternate accounts. This is a huge problem. Out of my last 10 games, each and every single one of them had a player who blatantly fed the enemy team, bragged about it and flammed as hard as possible to those that were trying to win. Please please someone do something about this or take notice to it. It makes the environment incredibly hostile and furthermore, makes me not want to play, considering I know I'm going to lose 4v6 games every single time.

RIOT only punishes verbally abusive summoners, they give 0 fucks about what you do in game, as long as you don't have a potty mouth. The best thing you can do is stop playing until this blows over, or risk being permanently banned yourself for saying something to them if you let it get under your skin.

I've been banned for "Flaming" before, rather justly I might add, but in recent months I've been very relaxed. Very calm. And I even compliment the enemy team and my own. This cannot abide though. I wish there were something they could do. The user I just played with: "Bronze V 4LP", has a systematic method, where he will get 1 or 2 kills as to not appear like he's throwing, then intentionally runs into them without hitting them at all, and brags about it. Please refer to his match history.

I know your pain. Right now there is a summoner (can't say his name because mods will remove it) that goes Nunu mid every game with summoner 11 .

I called him out in champ select to which he replied, "It's to help with dragon and baron." So I didn't dodge (I was jg Udyr btw). Match starts, this Nunu (again, who is mid lane) "leashes". Takes the blue buff, kills one of the little guys. Then he takes the big wolf and 1 little wolf. At this point I realize, I'm being trolled. I recall to go to my red jungle, big red and 1 little is gone, all but 1 chicken is gone, small golem left.

At this point I say, "This fucking noob troll is counter-jungling me! WTF!?" ... #accountsuspended.# If you check his match history, he does it every game. Always has a positive KDA, but his allied jungler is always levels behind.

You are lying obviously, i checked that game in match history

Only 2 of that kindred deaths were near enemy turret, probably some dive or something like that. He was 2nd in kill after you, he was 2nd in kill participation, after you. He had bad farm, but its not like he wasnt farming at all. He got first blood. And he did most damage in entire game, even more than opponent team. He shared first place in most wards placed in your team. He built properly (no troll items). Also his lane opponent doesnt have that many kills, but Shyvanna does, so obviously he was camped alot by enemy jungler.

This seems to be quite a problem lately. Riot Grrlee says the developers are aware of this behavior. But they do not have anything set in place to really combat it. It's not for lack of caring. Riot simply hasn't fleshed out anything to deter or put a stop to it.

The only two things I can suggest is to, first off, report them. If it's warranted, Riot will handle it. Second, play ranked only with a premade team with players you know will not try to intentionally lose.

Too bad it's only duo right now while they "triage technical issues on Dynamic Queue."

As much as I hated Dynamic Queue when it first came out, it grew on me and I now kind of despise normal draft. At least in Dynamic I had a chance of getting my favorite roles. Now I'm always stuck at the last pick or so for whatever reason. RNG hates me, I guess.

I've reported this user after said game, and the other users that have played with me showing the same behavior. I really don't want to stop playing, but if I can't even have fun in the game then what's the point? Thoughts?

I think that if people want to purposely be in B5, they should have some sort of "Screw me over, Riot," option that just automatically puts them in B5. This would get rid of that crap without giving anyone else the option to just be put higher up.

I wholeheartedly agree, though I don't see Riot making a "Bronze V" Button any time soon, if at all.

I don't flame. If someone makes a stupid mistake, I turn chat off if I feel the urge to tell them they did that wrong. It never has a positive result. Ever.
