Compensation for trolls/afk
Hello, I would first like to thank whoever is going to read this very long post and who is going to take the time to reply honestly to this issue/discussion/idea. Over the course of League of Legends history, there has always been "Those players".
The players who: Feed Are Toxic Troll Go AFK
We have always had these kinds of players. The report system has changed and has been improved, yet one thing that has never changed, is the punishment to the players who do no wrong in that game. the player who tries and tries to win the match, the player who even when theres a Darius running it down mid, or a soraka who went smite top lane, or that teemo who thinks hes faker and ends up getting tilted and cussing the team to teemo fire hell. The player who tried winning, but ended up losing. I believe these players and every player who did not do wrong in the match, should get a reduced LP for this game. By this I mean if a player is found guilty of doing anything that is clearly against the rules, and hurts the chances of the team winning, the players who tried should instead of losing that 19 LP, 14 LP etc etc, should lose maybe 11, or 9 etc etc.
We all know how it is. You load up league of legends all fired up and ready to play that ranked game, you start a match search, you get into champ select anddddd. the top laner had their champion banned from their own team because they didnt hover Nasus so this player is tilted to all teemo hell and thinks to themselves "Thats it! they banned my Nasus!!! they should not win!!!" he then bans the champion that player who banned Nasus is hovering and the tilt begins. you load into the game. the Nasus auto locked Sona top, he gets boots, boots, boots, and runs it down mid over and over and over again. Oh did i mention you are in your promos and 1 more win and you get ranked up?!!!!
These kind of players truly do ruin the match, the match ends, you lose horribly going 10 to 30, the sona died 16 times. and that win you needed so badly is now gone. you dont make placements, you shoot back down to 75 LP and now that fired up feeling you just had 20 minutes ago is gone and you are now... tilted. The players who cause this get reported, possibly get banned, you dont know the instant feedback report does not always show up so now you sit there at your desk, sad, angry, and wondering if this player was punished for what they did. but the fact that will never change. you. lost. LP.
I believe Riot should implement a system that helps reduce the LP loss to players who were hurt badly by a player who intentionally feeds or ruins the game, or goes AFK because they died 3 times to their shaco jg.
For Trolls: if a player is found guilty of trolling the match, the other players who did not do anything wrong to go against the rules of summoners rift should get a reduced LP loss. For specific LP loss, I am not sure, but a percent that is equal to what the player has done.
AFK Player: by AFK I mean the player who clearly is still in the game but does not help the team at all, they sit in base moving in and out so the leaver buster doesnt get them, or roam the jg just to be killed by their zed who is now 10/1/9. The players who were badly hurt by this player that resulted in their loss and a loss of LP should get a reduced LP loss.
Toxic Player: We all have had a toxic player in our game, no matter who you are, how long you have played, when you play. you will always have a toxic player. Now obviously we have a mute button, but sometimes by the time we mute the player, its to late and the damage has been done. You know this player is going to either run it down or soak xp from your lane or do something to tilt you even more because they never got a GOD TEEMO gank from your jg. if a player is found guilty of being toxic, again the players who were on the team of this player should get a reduced LP loss.
I have been in many games where a player just does not care anymore and runs it down and ruins it for everyone. and i know all of you have as well. This is an issue I know Riot can fix and i know they can create a system to reduce the amount of LP is lost.
PLEASE NOTE: i understand the system i have stated is flawed in a lot of ways. This is not a system pitch but a system idea. I want Riot to create a system that reduces the damage done to players who get hurt by players who clearly feed and troll. I believe me getting a similar LP loss to the troll who clearly fed is horrible and should not be a thing and needs to be fixed.
Riot, I am not sure if you are thinking of making this system or something similar to this, but you need to make one and soon. So many players lose LP because of players who troll or feed or are toxic and it simply doesnt cut it to get them banned because we still lost that LP and now we are tilted or even farther from reaching our elo dreams.
My question to you, the community, should Riot implement a system that reduces the LP loss on games where a player clearly affected the outcome of the match, or should there not be a system to reduce it at all?
Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy post. I am sorry for how poorly worded it is, I wrote an entire post before but i didnt save it and the page closed out so this is the best i could come up with a second time, not only that it is 3am and i have class in the morning.
Kind Regards, Wallish/Sage
