Solo Queue abuse

Two people with almost identical names are solo queue’ing at the same time, later at night and manage to be on opposite teams almost every time. One of them will afk or run around & do absolutely nothing productive causing his team to lose so the other gets credit. Is there anything that could be done to put a stop to this? Or would this fall under the “report & let support handle it” ?

I do have screens & names but idk if that would go against ToS?

I knew this was a possibility, and hinted at it in a previous post.

I can’t do much to prevent this, but this is something they can only do for so long before they are no longer queuing with each other because their MMR has diverged too far. They could still queue in the middle of the night, but then they’ll be limited by long queue times and an MMR that increases much slower.

Please report people that do this.

justin – dont let players with same ip go in same matchup

No. We have lots of players that share the same external IP. E.g. colleges, homes with routers, etc.

so instead implementing a report function, that actual works and places dishonor if enough of teamplayers had report them u think its better for all players at night to suffer by 2 trolls?

We’re working with custom support to get additional reporting functionality. Adding a stack of dishonor for being reported isn’t off the table either.
