I don't know if others feel the same way.. but I'm just tired of the amount of disappointing games I have. It's just become a chore to play this game now. It's always one of 3 things - AFK, Throwers or a Smurf. I like the game, and think it has a lot of potential but I am just finding it extremely difficult to play a 'normal' game. I don't care if my team loses or if I have a bad game or someone else. But these deliberate actions of sabotage by people is just making the game unplayable for me. If it was every now and then, I could handle it.. but it's game after game after game. And I can't even FF out because someone always votes no.
I had to sit in a game earlier with a guy that said he was throwing from the start, and that's exactly what he did. And a few other people on our team tried to win, and it ended up going something like 8-13. But it was horrible. There was no way we could win with this guy deliberately making us lose, and in the end I just went AFK. But so I don't get a 1 hour ban I had to move every round so I couldn't even get away from it. I was chained to this garbage game for over 1/2 hour. And I still got the AFK warning at the end as well. Then another game I played we were winning 8-6. Then on Defense my entire team starts Stacking 1 site and leaves me constantly defending the other site, with mid wide open. Over and over I got run over by them. And then one of them says "maybe we should stop throwing, I feel bad". So most likely a 4 stack that was deliberately losing. Another 45 minutes of my life wasted playing with these idiots. So even though it was 9-10, I just disconnected because there is no point in going on.
I might just not go back to the game at all, which is sad because it is a fun game when you have teams of people who actually play the game. I put up a post a few weeks ago about how comp is broken, and some guy replied saying why is it Riots fault that smurfs/afk/throwers exist. Well it is their fault, because the punishment for this sort of thing is garbage and these people now flourish in and dominate this game. They've lost me as a player/customer. I've spent a bit on skins and put money into the game, and I've had enough. I just spend more time being frustrated than having fun.
And the people doing this are GOLD. This is not exactly low ELO, So I would hate to think what things are like in Iron/Bronze.
