Reporting people for no reason seriously needs to be looked at.

Because as I said, intentional game ruiners are very different to leavers.

If im feeding, im doing my team a favour by leaving and letting them have all my gold.

Feeder is making the game into 4v6. Leaver is making the game into 4½/5. Those 2 are very different.

The intention of game ruiner is to ruin games. The intentions behind gameruining are malicious. The intention behind leaving can be legimitate IRL things that need to be taken care off.

To put this situation out in simple terms, feeders contribution to your team is -1, where a leavers contribution to your team is 0. Actually, it's even a bit more since your team would be getting your AFK gold.

Now, im not defending leavers by any means. Im just saying they're different from genuine gameruiners who deserve low priority because of reports. People who constantly ruin games and so on.

Whereas people who leave can do so from multiple issues, from having bad internet, to IRL issues, to gameruining and so on, so it's not always the same thing.

Both offenses should be punished, but they should be punished seperately is what im saying.
