Question is for ranked.

My opinion: You play to win, with the ideal being the remaining opponent FFs once it's clear they can't take us 1v2 or 2v3. I believe this happens to all of us evenly, so it's fair. I'm fine if the opponent tries to take us on their own. If they can hold their own, more power to them. However, I do think you should quit if you're down 5-0 after a couple of minutes without a teammate. At that point please let us all just move on to the next match.

What prompted this post is that I just had a teammate throw a match "because it wasn't fair" the opponent's teammate quit on him at 1-0. Yeah, total douche move for that guy's teammate. However, total douche move to then put me in a 1v2, right?

I know the world isn't over, but it bothered me enough to see what the community thinks. Maybe I'm in the minority here. I can accept that.

Thank you for doing so! We made some improvements at the start of Season 7 to this system so as long as these folks are being reported, they'll be receiving disciplinary action

Will players be notified? I've reported at least 5 players this season who own goaled for 2-3 minutes and haven't seen any indication that they were reviewed.

Should be! Though keep in mind they're general feedback notifications. They'll indicate that disciplinary action has been taken but don't indicate which report it's from

Well it seems that it still needs more improvement.

I've reported at least 5 players this season for being intentionally idle or match throwing. And these aren't borderline cases, this is a player not moving for 3 minutes and boasting about it in chat or a teammate bumping me and scoring own goals whilst trash talking me.

Yet I haven't had a single notification of disciplinary action being taken. This report system is clearly still ineffective.

If you want to provide your in-game name I'll happily take a gander at your reports! It'll certainly help me verify that the system is or isn't working as intended.
