1. these win-trading pieces of shit cycle through multiple accounts just to snipe streamers
1-1. they successfully sniped the streamer? = they start soft inting in the most awkward spots, baiting the team into terrible positions by constantly walking up for no reason and just ruining the fucking game
1-2. they failed the snipe? = there are two scenarios here, which i'll explain in point 2
2. if they fail to snipe, one of two things happens:
1-1. they int on purpose to force a 15-minute surrender so they can go snipe the next queue
1-2. they don't even play themselves; they ditch the account to go snipe on another one, leaving the first account to some random person or just letting it rot
3. so what happens to the game? you end up in a match full of these failed snipers, and if you check their match history, like 2 or 3 out of 10 players are win-traders. the game is just a total mess
4. in these shitty cases, you're forced to play with these losers. i don't even know if riot gives a fuck about catching them, but you have to play with someone who clearly doesn't belong in this tier or is intentionally positioning to throw. it's tilting as hell
this part below is just a rant, feel free to skip
1. was playing solo queue and accidentally accepted a match that popped 0.1 seconds after someone else declined. ended up with a win-trader on my team
(pro tip: never insta-queue after a decline because these abusers use multiple accounts to snipe streamers, so if you hit that immediate pop, it's a 120% chance you're getting a win-trader)
(how did i know? i keep abusers blocked and muted, and when the game started, i checked my list—the adc was already flagged)
2. this is the 3rd time i've run into this guy. he's dogshit every single time. i don't know if he bought the account or is borrowing it, but it's pathetic
it's honestly nauseating having to play with someone when you can see they've win-traded in over 10 of their last 20 games (seriously, why did they remove the dodge system?)
3. two days ago i got matched with him, but we won because our top was a pro academy trainee. yesterday i faced the same abuser on the enemy team, and it's like they all agreed to just ff at 15 to go snipe again, so i got a free win. today i meet him again, he's playing like absolute trash, but our jungle naafiri went 15/1 and carried us to a win
the reason win-traders are so disgusting is that they either play like complete shit on purpose just to get to the next queue, or they hand the account off to someone else while they go play on a different one. for the rest of the team, just having to deal with these people is pure stress
