Really Riot?

  • Dodge once, 3 lp loss.
    Dodge twice 10 lp loss.

    Really? What if i get 2 trolls in a row? You gonna punish the honest player?

    Thanks bro
  • (personal opinions from me, i did not design this feature)
    You are matched together with the intend that you play together.

    Dodging itself impacts 9 players that now have been thrown out and have to wait for the next match. Thats likely one of the reasons why there is punishment to discourage this. Yes you might have valid reasons to dodge, then you will have to accept the punishment and weigh it up.

    If not then you might just dodge every game just because not all four in your team won all of their last 10 games and clearly you can not be expected to carry them.

    When it comes to trolling as soon as a player dodges you could interpret it as the troll being successful.

    In regards of vote kick systems there are some interesting an more in depth discussions on this board than this thread.
  • I would like to thank the people in this thread that have not reverted to trolling me.

    Here's the thing about trolls in champion select.

    They don't want to play with Clairvoyance Revive Karma either.

    When we removed the rating penalty from dodges, the amount of Champion Select trolls skyrocketed, because they knew that with such a mild penalty, they could easily make people dodge for them.

    By re-introducing a meaninful penalty, players are less likely to put up with their **** because "No, I don't want to lose my LP because of you" and trolls quickly realize their efforts are only hurting themselves.

    I thought you Riot guys were better than this :/ you cant honestly believe that about trolls can you?
    The thing is, that's actually true.

    That guy is out for himself. And only himself. Right now, he's getting pretty good feedback that he can yell, "MID OR FEED!!!!!!!111" and instalock AP Teemo and make people dodge until he gets it.

    See how fast he changes his ways when people don't put up with his **** and he has a few miserable games in a row.

    Now, he's definitely hurting the other players in the game. I can't deny that. But he's going to get his account removed really, really quickly when he gets reported by everyone for being a jerk.

    It's just a culture thing. If we all, as responsible LoL players, say, "No, we're going to call your bluff, BRB getting you Tribunaled" the trolls all go away. These trolls exist because they're able to get you to dodge for them instead of standing up to them.

    The people who do this are people who are doing something else that matters more to them. When they see that the game ended, "Ok time to requeue and pick clarity barrier Riven again!"
    Those guys get dunked by the Tribunal really fast.

    Wait.
    It's not just 8 seconds. You break up 9 people that just discussed who take which role, they made a plan and started working together, setup their rune pages and prepared themselves for battle. Dodge , ok well no big one, found another match, lets do bans, agree on roles, oh you only want to play mid and if we dont let you you dodge, dodge, still only lost 16 seconds no big one, lets discuss roles ...

    Dodging itself can be a form of trolling and be disruptive.

    Oh yes. Might not be perfect, and our awesome player behavior specialists are continuously working on improving things and monitoring the results of changes.

    I did not ban you, I did not ask to have you banned. A forum mod independently made that decision based on the post(s) content.

    Yes they do. They're in ranked.

    If they just wanted to play AP mid Teemo, they'd play Blind Pick Normal games and instalock Teemo and call "mid."

    They're playing Draft Mode Ranked because they actually want to gain rating and get that next badge. They're being a dick and saying "AP Teemo mid or feed" because they don't know how to play any other champions and lack basic social skills.

    And even if the above paragraph weren't true, he still wouldn't want to share that middle lane with the legitimate Morgana you already grabbed. That guy isn't going to have fun.
  • Personally I never dodge. I also make it clear that I do not dodge if someone is trolling in lobby. At the very least I can turtle up and help them play Karma for 70 minutes.

    I rarely encounter that type of trolling in league recently.
