@Riot my thoughts on intentionally feeding players

Now Riot I've played this game for a long time and met a numerous bunch of players. I can't help to ask, but what is the best solution for players who intentionally feed the game. I have a very high patience for when people just decide to run it straight down like its normal most of days. Even in ranked I notice people trolling and running it down mid or even most especially with champions like . I'm still not sure where the balance of what exactly counts of int feeding. I don't usually make a boards post but during the summer time people tend to like going 0/33 in game I just don't quite understand the point. I keep my cool but in the past being new it so frustrating and grief to have a first impression with someone running it down. I know there is system of reporting but i'd like to know how rioter's and other players cope with feeding. Personally once someone starts feeding I just shrug it off and guess how long the game will take to end. Thank you for any feedback

I feel like this problem is getting out of control and Rito should get a better system to deal with feaders and or trolls. Lux

I've won so many games 4v5 even as Supp. If you try and hard carry and have a good idea of how to do it you'll succeed or come close. You need to anticipate what the enemy team will do and how to outplay it.

Say if there's an enemy Sej and you're Alistar with an AFK ADC, you need to think "I can flash into Sej ult, Ali ult the cc off me and counter engage on the enemy carries and Cassio will blow them up because I put Zeke's & Knight's Vow on her" Or something like that. Even if the plan is sketchy, you have some idea how to possibly win the game. Works much better than giving up!

I reported an ally that ran it down mid and cost us the game just yesterday. Im still waiting for something saying he was banned. But if I dared to flame him for being a retard.... guess who would had been INSTA-REPORTED?? Me of course!

Rito, your ban system sucks just like almost every change to the game lately and the good changes/solutions only come 2-3 months after without the problem being adressed, but god forbid something as Yasuo not getting an hotfix for a single patch he may not be good.

Back in the old days, we would leave the game.

I didn't see my standard "Mute, don't talk back (read: don't feed the troll & don't give potential for counter report), play as well as you can to the end, report the troublemaker, forget it ever happened." poll option. Well, that is what I try to do on those occasions.

Btw, what is this "instant report" poll option? The only report option I know is to wait until I get to the post-game-lobby and use the report there.

I vote 1 and 7, as an duel answer.. an its not just Ranked.. I see it in Normal Draft.. People say its just a normal game..

To me playing Normal Draft, I practice champions, CSing, improving mechanically on that champion, or simply to build up my craft in a role of a variety of styles vs just relying on one specific style.

For example, I was Twitch Bottom, my Support was a Mastery 7 Darius so I knew right now he was a Top Lane Main.. no Support item, he got a Doran's Shield.. over the course of the game, he says I'm bad as Rengar on enemy team just uses ult and 1 shots me everytime, I was like this is not fun and wants to just quit, but I kept playing best I could ..

So its not just Trolls or Int feeding people running it down.. its players that get Autofilled into a role that Don't understand the role, an some Autofills either go Support or Jungle..

Just my thoughts, on the subject from What I've seen.

I try talking them out, if that doesn't work, I just wait until game is over and report, hoping for a perma ban.
