Leaving (again)

I know most of you won't care what I have to say, thats fine. Hopefully someone who has some control will read this.

Came back after being gone for awhile (mostly because I was watching streams again and it somewhat renewed my desire to play)

The game is full of more trolls and jerks now than it was when I left it seems... this morning 2 games in a row I was trolled harder than I've ever been trolled before...

1st - I was top lane. Bot lane refuses to leash for Skarner so he proceeds to announce that he was going to intentionally feed and ends the game at 20 minutes 0-14 with 3 tears of the goddess and 13 cs

2nd - Prior to the game starting, without any prompting or discussion, one of the players on my team announces that he will be feeding fb and going afk. No one responded or even said anything to him directly. Game starts he walks straight down mid takes 2 turret shots then waits for Brand to come and kill him then says "Grats on your free win" in All chat and then leaves the game.

I'm sorry but I can't support a game that allows one player to have this much impact on the ability of 4 others to have an enjoyable experience. Trolling is mostly the reason I left the last time. If you all enjoy the game more power to you but I don't and people like the above 2 instances are eventually going to be the downfall of this game.

If those "trolls and jerks" were on enemy team and you won, you wouldn't have a problem and just keep playing so it's just because you were unlucky 2 games

See the thing is you can't really see things like this especially when they don't say anything in chat. Granted the trolls were nice enough say something. But I think that along with the feeding should have shown something in the system, but it's needs to be a continuous action for it to matter since they could claim (although they said they would feed) it was one bad game.

This is what happens when a game becomes popular and is "free" people can do whatever they want because even if they get ban all they need to do is make a new account.

A part of the problem is that most trolls want a response to their threats. They are often sad beings. You gave the troll who threatened to feed no response, so he did what he thretened to do, awaiting a response. I have positive experiences with responding, and trying to reach a peaceful solution. If they respond with curse words or ignore me, I remind them what trolling might result in (punishment, perma-ban after consecutive trolling etc.). If they just do it anyway I urge my team to report the troll. If the actions were visible to the other team, I also urge them to report him. After the game, I write a detailed report and carry on.

If you do not try to do anything yourself, and respond to offensive chat with cursing or offensive actions yourself, you are only adding to the problem. Try to be a solution instead ;)

Thing is, report begging is unnecessary. The system only looks at whether any reports were filed. And that's to protect players from mob reports.

And think about this: if the other players didn't see any reportable behavior, why should they believe some random person who could be exagerating, if not outright lying about what really happened?
