Please use the gameplay patch discussion thread for discussing item builds, champion kits, and other things related to gameplay.

Please use this thread for discussion other things related to the game, such as the number of bans in ranked soloq, ranked teams, and competitive; speculation on game design and champion builds; toxicity in soloq; competitive integrity and sandbox mode; or how 739 is a robot designed to do nothing but Liquibet.

We have a few other setups we might consider experimenting with and nothing is set in stone. Feel free to discuss in Website Feedback.

Quick aside, but has anyone else noticed the amount of toxicity has actually greatly decreased since the instant feedback thing was implemented?

I mean, I haven't played ranked for almost two months, and last night I was in two specific games where I was feeding hard and no one started the obligatory blame-game before we'd even started losing the game.

Games have a LOT less chat in general, I've noticed, but I much prefer the quiet game with pings to the bullshit pissing contests that I had gotten used to in ranked mode.

Was the instant feedback implemented only in America or also on EUW? I haven't noticed any change over here.

no for me I've felt that it increased. by any chance did you rank up to gold or something? because that elo is the most friendly.

gold > silver > bronze > high diamond > mid diamond > low diamond > plat

Nah, I bounce around between Gold promos and Silver 2. Which I guess is not really that far off the mark.

I dunno, it was only one night, but god damn was I feeding in those early games. And the worst I got was one "seriously?"

Dunno if I agree with this.When you get to the point in diamond where you start getting matched with the same people often then the real cancer begins with the "oh you lost me that game once upon a time I am gonna troll now".Havent played on na but on euw this is a very annoying thing.Haven't noticed any change in how much people flame either.

I don't think my games decreased in toxicity at all. Moreover I'm still not banned.

I don't get why some of you try (?) to get banned.
Whole "seeing the world burn" mentality?

I haven't noticed a change either. Is it just me or does it feel like you're back in elementary school whenever someone says, "I'm reporting you." or "Everyone report x."?

It sounds the same to me as, "I'm telling the teacher on you!"

Could you imagine adults handling things this way? "I'm calling the cops on you because you said something I didn't like!" I'd rather see people duke it out than hear passive aggressive pussy bullshit like threatening to report.

I'm just easily irritable and don't care enough about that to go to therapy just to stop being mad at League.

Ok, anger issues I can get. Can't relate but it's understandable.

Having to play in high masters/low challenger queues makes me want to gauge my eyes off and wonder why we can't have in house leagues for this game.

Seriously, can anyone tell me?

Not enough incentive for diamond/lower challenger players to play in them, and not enough incentive for the higher level folk to play in them either.

Basically it comes down to what the purpose of having an inhouse league is. If you say it's to improve with folks around your skill level, you run into a few difficulties. Something like that anyways. There's just very little incentive for organizing something like that for any skill level really.

It's impossible to weed out the "toxic" players because everyone has a different definition of the word. It's also ridiculously difficult to find a group of 10 players who have the same goal from playing an inhouse game. Even the inhouses TL ran were kinda off sometimes. Sometimes you will have amazingly fun games, and other times you end up hating the process and the result(because there is no way to "balance" the game to account for skill levels and off days). So basically, it's just a more strict solo queue(strict in terms of behavior), and if that's the case, why even bother with it when it can take twice as long to organize a game for?

Because I'd rather have games with players not TPing to the middle of the enemy base, running around with no items, etc. I don't care if people spam swasticas in a peculiar order to draw hitlers on all chat, I just want them to play dammit, and not to troll/lose on purpose.

No incentive........ I mean, I'd be in those Leagues 24/7 as long as I'd find similar or higher skill level than me so that I can improve, and people play properly
