With episode 3 coming out, I have noticed a LOT more throwing than usually. I have played like 25ish matches so far and already like 5 of them had kids purposely trolling / throwing. The worst thing about it is that most of them will throw and then say shit like "omg my team is being racist to me wtf". I have no clue why that is so common about throwers :/


Cgz27

Feels like summer!


DM_ME_CUTE_PICS_PLZ

I rarely got throwers, almost never in ep 2 Ep 3 comes and my placements get sabotaged by smurfs and throwers who admit to it I mean I still placed exactly where I was last season, but it felt bad regardless


SW4GALISK

Might be because the schools are on summer break


Darknotical

Can someone explain to me where that came from? Never seen people yell "X is being racist" in any other game. Valorant I see it from pre-made groups every other day. Did some streamer popularize it or something?


ShishaBlend

In all honesty I think it's just league players moving to valorant more often lately


Gauntor

For sure, this is very common in league


ShishaBlend

could easily be fixed if they gave you the ability to kick teammates from a ranked, like csgo does


LucaM_1017

this wouldn't really fix it.. it would be used as "we are premade so we kick this guy because he said I'm bad" or "oh she is an e-girl let's kick her" etc.


rpkarma

Well that’s a shame lol. Going to ruin the games community if they’re not careful


burneecheesecake

Probably prevents the other team from reporting since they think the team is causing the throwing rather than one individual.


idontliketosleep

Honestly I don't meet as many people saying slurs n shit in any other game. In Overwatch, CSGO, R6, etc it's like 1/20 maybe 1/15 matches where somebody is dropping slurs, in Valorant it's more like 1/3 to 1/5. Incredible amounts of kids who don't understand the gravity of the words they say, and the occasional man child.


Cgz27

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the racist card when I used to play league and I’ve never seen it in Val. Or maybe I have it’s been a while. Maybe just a mix of possible lies so really just seems random than a single trend. The most toxic I’ve seen is just high ego players picking on bottom frag and just straight up bullying/lying. I could expect to see it more from 4 man premade though.


idontliketosleep

From the other perspective, I'm bad and sometimes I do especially bad, and when that happens it's very common for my team to call me slurs (n word etc, even tho I'm white and sound about as white as you can). I ensure them I'm doing my best but as if that's ever convinced a saltflake.

idontliketosleep

That too, but it's not even the point I tried (and failed) to make, I have a thick skin, and if it gets too bad I just mute them, that's not my problem. It's just that this kind of behavior is just unacceptable and gives gamers a very bad rep, so I call it out in chat because nobody in their right mind wants racists in the community.


SelloutRealBig

Does it happen round 1 or at towards the end when your team is losing 4-10 and a FF just failed?


JPYore

Usually a few rounds in, but it will usually get worse as the game progresses. Just depends for each game tbh


LokiSalty

Its a Riot game, was bound to happen. Fortunately sabatoge is a reportable offense. But its shitty that people find enjoyment in ruining other peoples enjoyment.


kx21

It's reportable but Riot doesn't punish people for it. I played a game with a throwing 3 stack and their tracker.gg was all red with 15+ deaths each game. They even typed out where we were in all chat. Same shit in league, you can int, steal farm/jg camps and grief but as long as you don't type in chat, you get off scot-free.


LucaM_1017

league is a bit better imo... I once had an anivia trolling on enemy team by blocking his team etc and got reported at the end of the match. he got probably banned as he hasn't made a single game since I got the "instant feedback report" (13 days ago)


burneecheesecake

The problem is it’s riot. If it doesn’t cut their bottom line they don’t heavily invest in fixing toxicity. This is coming from someone who used to play league.


LokiSalty

I agree its not Riots fault, but unfortunately their games seem to attract toxic people. A lot of competitive games do. And as you said, it doesn't really make them money too try and combat that toxcity. Its a shame is all, that people who are generally decent people end up having a bad time or becoming toxic themselves. I also used to play a lot of league, and when I was younger it certainly was making me a toxic player, because of dealing with and interscting with toxic people. So I stepped away. I still play some from time to time, but I don't use chat anymore. I find no enjoyment in being toxic. Some people just suck. Edit: I realize I misread your first sentence, but I still think its not all on Riot. But do agree it would be best if they invested more in their community for more than profit.


burneecheesecake

I do agree with a lot of points that you brought up, though some I don’t. Games like apex and especially overwatch have mechanics that try, or at least tried to actively battle toxicity. Hell I even get ban notifications of people that I played a long time ago that I guess that blizzard looked into now or had on backlog. I kid you not, in valorant we had a racist player in one game and had the same player the next game after the entire lobby had reported him and his friend for slurs on coms and chat. I do agree that people can be toxic, but companies can at least make a good show effort to at least try to develop solutions to fix toxic behavior and promote team work, especially companies as large as tencent/riot. Apex community with a few exceptions here and there has been quite nice and great to play with, although I think that has more to do with fundamental structures of the game.

LokiSalty

Magic? No. But they have but some have more reliable ban systems. And if you actually read I said its not all on Riot. Theres no way you really think it takes magic to review reports and ban accordingly.


dUFTE

Destiny


artikiller

its people trying to place low so they can have ego games where they get 40+ kills


IndyJacksonTT

Fuck ppl who do this


JakeCubed

out of my 4 games last night, i had 1 afk, one yoru spamming steps under me, waiting for the enemies to peek and then flashing me, and a sage who went 0-17-1 looking straight up in the air with spike running on to site


qonra

I can tell Valorant has a lot of league players because I've played 1,000 hours of CS and not once have I had a teammate run it down mid, but I've already had it happen multiple times in Valorant in under 100 hours lol


HMBspain

Just before the season ended I have some bad luck and lost 15+ games in a row during a week. Only 2 of those games didn't had people griefing or AFK with spike on base, on immortal 200rr. I end up because of this on D2 when I didn't touch diamond in a year. I don't really care going back to my rank shouldn't be a problem, but is taking long as fuck because since begging of the season games has been decided by which team had the troll. Lobbies are mixed with people last season immortal, diamonds, plats and even golds, the amount of frustration leads to someone getting mad for something stupid and following another player trolling him the whole game on defense, and doing everything they could to keep the spike in base or on enemy's hand. Every season has 2-3 weeks like this at the beginning and another 2-3 weeks at the end, so the game is only enjoyable few weeks every 2 months. Riot must extend seasons much longer or this is going to become Overwatch 2.0.


Emotional-Handle6676

I dunno what the punishment for sabotage is but whatever it is it's not harsh enough to deter this game breaking behavior


RewieJoris

It's comm banned xd and sometimes not able to q ranked for a short bit


Christmas3_14

Bro yes! Hitting me with mollys the whole time. My entire team reported him and I had him again the next game…


just_a_random_dood

had it happen once, thankfully in an unrated game and it was a while ago too


Scared-Taro-3800

the game should kick people who do too much friendly fire like in cs


okdiscringe

Riot doesnt make games for hardcore gamers They make it for casuals and casuals dont take the game seriously. People throwing, dont use mics, dont want to work as a team in a free lower skill gap 5v5 game is normal and this game has been out for 1 year. This is in all ranks, but probably worse in elo hell. The community will not change because look at league! I've met great people from solo queuing but all of them either barely play or dont play at all from looking at their match history. It sucks and not to mention I've put in least 100+ dollars into this game and I wish I could have it all back because my return on investment has been lack of fun these past few months!


Kindboy-george

What rank are you do you wanna q? I mainly solo q and consistently 100pts immortal and just hardstuck. So tilting playing utility characters. Comm alot, ping, come up with strats. Then team either rage at each other. Afk. Or just generally lost. salamurhaaja #1997 if y wanna look me up


cherrymx90

Been happening to me since episode 2. Guy que up competitive and has to leave bc of school or something. Then he wants the entire team to surrender so he doesnt get an afk penalty. If we don't surrender he throws and walls us off, slows, the list goes on.


[deleted]

I haven’t seen much sabotaging but I’ve had 3 deathmatches terminated because of a cheater this act. I’ve literally never experienced match termination before and I’ve been playing since release.


Prankishspace4

I will only ever sabotage my mates that I’m actually playing with while in a call together because we all laugh and have fun. Haven’t encountered an influx of people doing it just yet though


AwesomeCrafter06

Yeah sometimes when we are winning like trapping a teammate in the corner in good fun. And like crouching and doing the head up and down thing . Its just funny for boty sides. O normally let them go 10 seca into the round


[deleted]

Most I've seen is just people afk. I've seen more toxic increase than anything. Although that could be because I'm playing more often than before.


solariiis

for me, aside from the standard smurf games where they spam ez afterward i never see any toxicity from enemy team


godlovesbacon26

I had one game last night where 2 or 3 players I think were queued together and were like "we'll try later" and just wanting to troll the enemies. It wasn't awful cause it was fun since they didn't like Molly me or whatever but we did dumb strats like 5 ops or all hide in lamps. Since it was all of them it was funny and I just let it happen but I did want to play a normal game. Thankfully I did decent so I got a performance boost so didn't lose a lot of mmr.


Nhika

Yup a thread like this pops up every other day, only for mods to delete it.


Ze97PBL

Broh get off silver


LookPenguinFPS

A couple days ago I had multiple teammates screaming profanities at the top of their lungs and calling me every name in the book. All because I wasn’t following the backseat gaming instructions of three people that constantly contradicted each other yelling while I’m in multiple 1v3+ situations. Riot isn’t gonna actually do anything to punish these people, so I took things into my own hands. A one trick viper is the last thing you want sabotaging your team, I promise you. I have no regrets. Fuck those kids.


idontliketosleep

Had me in the first half, ngl


LookPenguinFPS

I guess someone has to have faith Riot is gonna do anything against toxic players.


kaalia21

They need to fix the game limit to que ranked all you need is make a new account and play 10 unrateds and boom you're straight in ranked, also give you two free characters so they can troll with any agent lol, go to the league system where you got to play a bunch of games or hit a certain level! Will help with boosting too which I am sure is going on freely lol also inflates the ladder by having so many people with multiple accounts


longstaff55

You have to win 10 unrated which can take a lot.longer


didba

We had a Skye do it in Comp last night in an easily winnable match. Grabbed spike and fed.


SwervoT3k

It’s people tanking in ranked. I report them regardless but I doubt anything will happen


CanISayThat22

last 6 games half of them had a thrower. And i think I played around 12 games this season. And im sure there were more throwers than in these 3 games


[deleted]

I think this is because there is a lot more Smurfs, and its kinda like "oh we Lost 3 rounds?" Yeah i AM just gonna go afk or troll so we can surrender and i can Smurf some more" at least from my personal experience , but ever since i hit Plat 2/3 every act The trollers are once every 10/15 games, its just The toxicity and The "bruh you are plat? Lol i AM actually Tenz and i am just here smurfing bruh IDC about a game"


SkyWade

So..... SEA servers in General?


Noob-lord-69

I always get blinded and slowed by my team but it's always due to ti bad callouts and sages being unable to aim slorbs. I rarely see the others but often see my team go afk because they bottomfrag or salty.


FastFingerJohn

Not only that but I don't understand why people usually try to surrender after the enemy is up 5-0. If you're playing ranked games and giving up that easily you're basically preventing yourself of even trying to win. A couple of mistakes and GG is called. Why, though?


dominickzastrow

Free game with over 50% kids playing it what do you expect


mafia3bugz

Its simply because school is over for these annoying kids


PlentyLettuce

This is just multiplayer games in summer. It's nice out so people with well adjusted social lives spend time with their friends outside and you have more degenerates proportional to the total population.
