Ranks: People throwing to drop to B. V.

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.

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.

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 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.
