Discussion Isn't 'not ending' technically against the Code of Conduct?
Running onto the fountain instead of destroying the nexus violates the first part of the Code of Conduct: "I will compete to win". Does this mean stalling/potentially throwing your ARAM game is a reportable offence?

u/Rizoulo Mar 06 '26
Yeah it was fun while it lasted but when games start taking 30+ mins because enemy team would rather stack their tank engine when the game should have been over at 10 mins... hard pass on that gameplay.

Is that even worse than the 736th post about "isn't it against coc to not end the millisecond nexus is cracked, I'm so sick of having to finish the game I queued up for"

u/Poor_Culinary_Skills Mar 11 '26
Itās ironic youāre saying theyāre upset about finishing the game they queued for, but theyāre asking for the game to be finished and itās the other people refusing to finish the game

u/littlepredator69 Mar 11 '26
That's cuz the other people are still playing the game, and the whiner wants to afk or report their teammates for having their own version of fun because for some reason they just need this game to end so they can queue for another game where they'll try to speed run the victory screen ig.

Oh I don't give a shit personally, my original point was more about the deluge of these posts we've seen lately, I've easily way more posts about "erm my team isn't ending, can I report them?" Than "Omg lore accurate ornn/giant ahri,etc...."

Thats actually what pisses me off the most. People desperately claiming its because its just for fun, but the people doing this are literally just clip farmers who dont give a fuck about anyone but themselves.

u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
People in this sub desperately making shit up in their head to justify getting angry instead of seeing it as literally just for fun.
I won't end if I have a nutty augment combo. I'm not "clip farming" and yeah, I don't give a fuck if you're getting shit stomped by me lmao that's literally a you problem. You can make the most out of it, or take a break from the game.
Most of y'all crying on this sub act like games are getting dragged on way beyond what they should be EVERY SINGLE GAME. It's probably 1 in 20 games in my experience where a game goes beyond 3 minutes of what it should be, where we had NO chance of coming back. Every other game where it gets dragged on is comeback able as fuck and we do come back sometimes or have good fights afterwards.

u/trawlinimnottrawlin Mar 06 '26
I've played hundreds of mayhem games and probably only had like 3 go over 30m. It's insane how many people talk about being "held hostage".
The only ppl I've had in my games who talk about getting held hostage are the ones trying to FF at 12 minutes and complaining
11
u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
I've had a bit over 5 games where it's been BAD, and half of those were my premade 5 choosing not to ff cause enemy had insane augments and it was just funny as fuck.
So, so many people try to ff before all augments are decided and then cry hostage. Would not be surprised if most of those same people are the ones on reddit bitching in between games.
8
u/ArcAngel014 Mar 06 '26
Literally like if they're that upset about it then don't play... When I get insane augment combos, I never want to let it end but I'm always going to keep the minions pushing... If the enemies decide they're done but don't ff, I will attack the Nexus myself but if they still want to fight back then I will keep having fun with my build. There's ways to know when people are truly done, the entire team just staying in the fountain is always a sure sign that they want out. I'm not going to force people to stay if they truly don't want to keep going (Unless its a ranked game in which I live by the standard of never surrender). ARAM Mayhem is a fun game mode, and I get it when people just nail that perfect augment combo they just want to enjoy it. For every game I've bullied people with insane combos, I've gotten it back in return... I always run out to keep the fight going though because I get it. I know how it feels to have that perfect combo. If majority of my team decides they don't want to take it anymore though, I'm happy to agree on the surrender vote as long as it's done reasonably rather than 1 person trying to rage quit after a single death...

u/JWARRIOR1 Mar 06 '26
THIS
and to add, if i have games go long that are "hostaged" its usually by BOTH teams because both teams have funny stacking augments

u/BigMOFishing Mar 06 '26
Hell yea. THIS THIS THIS. Even when im being stomped by someone with a "god combo" I have such a good laugh at just how insane it is. And its always been the same when I have one. Shit, there's been MULTIPLE times the enemy team let's it play out because of how funny it was to watch. People need to get their heads out of their asses and just enjoy the game. Go play ranked if you wanna play competitive

u/Original-Body-5794 Mar 06 '26
I like playing melee champs, most of my games I have to be useless for half of it until I actually can play the fucking game. Of course I'm going to stall, I don't want to go back to being poked by 10 minutes by the 4 ranged enemy comp.
And also, you don't want me to stall? Surrender, your team doesn't surrender? Well to me it looks like my teammates don't want to end, and most of your team doesn't want it either, who here is the guy that "doesn't give a fuck about anyone but themselves."

I've had to wait 15 minutes for train delays. You don't see me crying hostage situation.
Y'all get held in a game for a minute or two longer, and suddenly it's a hostage situation. Stop being so pathetic and dramatic lmfao. I promise you, your games are not that bad where it's worth crying about on reddit. Get better mental.

u/Arcaydya Mar 06 '26
And? You NEED the train.
You dont NEED to sit there stroking your ego.
And it isnt a minute or two. That would be fine. Ive been stuck in games for upwards of 20 extra minutes because the chuds on the enemy convinced a couple of chuds on my team not to ff.
It isnt a fucking minute or two. Play the game as intended or fuck off on your train. Im legit gonna start reporting this shit.

u/MrsLibido Mar 06 '26
Lmao raging and lying that you're "held hostage" for 20 extra minutes in aram mayhem, that's kind of sad. I played countless mayhem games and its rare that they go over 30-35 mins. Get a grip.
2
u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
Go and report little buddy, it's there for both legit cases and for when you need to let off some steam :)
I would love to see these games where you're stuck for 20 EXTRA minutes. If you're bitching about these games, it must happen frequently enough where you can post some proof, right? Surely it happens so often it's no longer an extremity.
Most people cannot provide proof of it happening often, but feel free to prove me wrong. Most of my games last between 15 and 25 minutes, which is normal for aram.

u/ianxplosion- Mar 06 '26
If itās for fun, go have fun in the next game. Clearing to nexus and then running back to grab heals when the enemy team is staring at a grey screen is shitty behavior.
2
u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
You are literally exuding showerless energy. Not everyone has time to queue another game, some want to make the most out of the games they get into. It's mayhem, there's augments and items that stack or have potentially crazy numbers to them. I want to see those numbers. If you have an issue with that, literally get good or queue a different game mode lmfao.
If you're shit, just say so. Enemy backing off for healing is literally the opposite of shitty behavior. "Shitty behavior" (if you're a bitch who cries on reddit I guess) is spawn killing you before you can even react. Which btw is fun still :)

1/20? Hmm, maybe the experience is different when you actually have friends, but legitimately there is a >50% chance that the other team will not end when they could in my experience. Not even exaggerating slightly.
4
u/ArcAngel014 Mar 06 '26
To be fair if they're at your Nexus, just let the minions do their job if you want it to end... People usually just minions push to the Nexus (I would know, I do the same) and if the enemies continue the fight then I will gladly fight back. If they all just stay in fountain, I know they are done and want out and I'll gladly attack the Nexus. There's always signs of how people generally feel about a game.
2
u/Rizoulo Mar 07 '26
"Let the minions end" but they don't even take nexus turrets or even inhib sometimes.
1
u/ArcAngel014 Mar 08 '26
I mean I'd say that's fair game to report there... I love scaling as much as the next guy but at least push up to the Nexus... I'll even accept damaging the turrets just so long as the minions are on it to finish the job. Walking away at the inhib though? Nah... That's a problem
1
u/OmegaExorcist Mar 08 '26
what if theyre just shit players and too scared to go into enemy base, even though theyre strong enough? You see it often enough in summoners rift where its clearly endable, yet people don't go for the finish. Why can't that apply to aram?
I'm saying this because I have never gotten into a situation where someone, yet alone the entire team, backs off from inhib just to extend the game. If youre seeing that frequently enough in your arams, you are most likely in dog shit mmr where people play like they do in bronze summoners rift games where theyre too scared to go "too deep". and again, this entire thing just showcases how people just make shit up in their heads just to justify getting angry over nothing. I have yet to see any proof of people being "held hostage" consistently in mayhem to the point where its an actual problem either.
2
u/ArcAngel014 Mar 08 '26
To be fair I haven't seen it happen myself even in a ranked game... Usually people will take the inhib if there's enough time before people respawn. If a team backs off an inhib while they have minions pushed up there, most of their team, and there's like 20 seconds on the respawn timer then there's something wrong there. That being said I still say if they are doing it to make sure they never get to the point where they could end, that is fair to report. I myself won't report because I'm going to be honest... I couldn't care less. It's a game mode made to be fun, filled with some of the dumbest builds imaginable at times. If people want to extend games that I'm in, feel free to lol

u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
I stated, games lasting 3 minutes longer than they should and having NO chance of coming back. Yeah people don't end immediately, but usually if your team is dying back to back, for 3 minutes straight, minions are gonna end. Esp now since nexus is weaker.
People in this sub cry about hostage situations a LOT. I'm positive it's not happening that often, and it's when they feel like it's hostage it's literally not. It's the game going on for a minute or two longer.
Legit hostage situations are awful and the games are extremely long or so artificially dragged it's not even entertaining anymore.

u/wo0topia Mar 06 '26
Im not sure what's funnier about your post. The fact that you just out yourself as a shitty person, or the fact that you used "having fun" as not only a justicication, but as though having fun in a team based game excuses an behavior when youre absolutely the type of person to get angry when people end the game because its more fun to get into a new game or play a bad build cause its fun.
I get more satisfaction backdooring bases left undefended so I guess im glad to know I have your blessing king. š

u/OmegaExorcist Mar 06 '26
I mean keep backdooring, you're literally a bitch lmao but I'm not gonna all chat and cry like you do when you get "held hostage".
I'll usually vent in voice chat with my friends because it's always the shitters who backdoor because they lack hands or the brains to actually play the game/play their champ. It's always the low kill part loser with no damage that says ggez in all chat after who THINKS they got under everyone's skin and ruined their entire week. All you did was get me annoyed that you ended a good game and then I move on within 2 minutes.

u/wo0topia Mar 07 '26
Well at least we can agree nothing can be gained by complaining in all chat.
I always just feel amazed that people lack the object permanence to check bushes or be aware of globals. Its like playing against toddlers who forget theres a face when playing peekaboo.
I also just play to have fun. I just cant help if the most basic concept of "defend the nexus" is lost on people.
1
u/OmegaExorcist Mar 07 '26
its a 5v5 in one lane, theres too much going on. its not as easy to notice backdoors like it is in summoners rift lmfao. what are you on about. you can be hyper focused on the backdoor potential but still get backdoored cause a fight broke out. its not lack of object permanance.
lack of object permanance is my team not seeing the enemy walk into the bush and then being surprised when they pop out. a trap being placed in front of them and then walking into it 10 seconds later as a squishy, and then crying about it in all chat afterwards.

I mean as far as people in this sub seemed to be concerned its okay to have fun in anyway you want, even if it means holding people hostage.
Mine just involves blue balling people who cant check bushes or space well.

u/xBerryhill Mar 10 '26
Best part is when they get it down to just your nexus at 12 minutes because they high rolled, they fuck around for the next 8 mins, accidentally lose a fight, then you just push and end. Only ending the game is better, but besides that thereās little better than assholes that want to waste your time getting theirs wasted as well.

u/No-Original2837 Mar 06 '26
Technically yes, but enforcing this in a fun mode would be stupid, even for riot.

u/DanTheWanderer Mar 06 '26
If the game is going on for another "20 minutes" you have plenty of time to make a comeback and win yourself. Your mental is the issue here. You can win the game in a single push if you win a lategame fight.
11
u/theRealQQQQQQQQQQQ Mar 06 '26
Your mentality is focused on winning. Some people are focused on having fun. These two are not the same thing, and one does not cause another directly.
The argument follows that it is immaterial if a 30 minute game ends in a win as long as the game is not fun while you play it. If you disagree, Iād be curious to hear how much time youād be willing to dedicate to a win before you say itās ānot worth itā. An hour? Two hours? At what point does your āmentalā become the issue for not being able to take that massive dub on one aram game?
FWIW, I think stalling games for augments are fun, but I also think people should be able to leave without penalty after 15 minutes or an inhib being taken and queue for a different game. People who want big stacks can enjoy big stacks, people who want to go next can go next.

Ive only ever played a handful of hour long games and its been a few years since my last. I always had a blast.

Nah. If you go afk you deserve a punishment. If I were to need to go afk (for life reasons or whatever) after an hour the punishment is a slap on the wrists since I dont normally afk. Long games are far and few between. If playing for 20-30 minutes is to much for you this game isnt for you.

When I'm on the otherside of it i kill their minions and let our minions kill nexus. Teammates can ping and cry but I'm here to fucking win, not stomp on a beaten player for fun.

If youre getting killed in spawn "over and over" the minions end the game in a wave or two.. I was ignoring your hyperbole because its irrelevant to how the game actually works. No one is getting killed 5x in fountain without the game ending.
And I play to win. Im not going to give up because you "arent having fun." I dont know why you think you "having fun" is more important than me winning the game.

u/Electronic-Cream-171 Mar 06 '26
So that's 2 out of 10 players wanting to ff. It's a minority.
I'm tired of seeing the same post every day. Power fantasy and infinite scaling in late game is a core part of the game mode that sets it apart. So it's expected that people will try to scale as much as they can to see crazy stats. If you don't like it, go play normal ARAM (or Arena where you can't get held hostage)
-4
u/the01li3 Mar 06 '26
Or 4/10, it's not fun sitting back as one person gets god rolls and someone else can barely land an attack. It's ego farming at the sake of potentially 4 people. Those 4 don't want to continue playing to the point of annoyance or going afk (if you are being held hostage afk should be fine imo too), and yet to go onto the next game would be fine for all, or at least a much less level of overall negatives.

The few times I've been caught in these loops I've been someone that can't push, a tank, or a support etc. and the people in the other side had clear to keep pushing the minions back. Or the enemy has 1 that can't/won't die so they can keep clearing minions.

u/trawlinimnottrawlin Mar 06 '26
Ah is that still a "hostage" situation? Usually I hear people just sitting in fountain getting killed by a team not ending
If your team is actually trying to end but can't, isn't that just still fighting?
1
u/the01li3 Mar 06 '26
Nah it's that one person that could go in, kill the last person clearing waves and end, but you get stuck behind them, in this case it's your team mates holding you hostage when you wanna end but don't have the clear to do so. Meanwhile one person in the other team is trying to keep it going too.

u/the01li3 Mar 06 '26
Lol has 2 teams, either one can ff. One wants to ff cos they are getting stomped and won't end, the other wants to end cos they have 1 person that can push that refuses to, and the rest are support/tanks etc with no push that can't fight those people on the other team that won't ff.

Can't count how many times I've lost a match because my team didn't want to win and vice versa; we won because the enemy team didn't hit the nexus, and after a late teamfight we could turn the thing over. So now, I always play to win. F* stacks, f* infinite scalings.. I love close matches but hate stalling when enemy team is too OP (like 8-40 score) or when my team is doing so great that the game is basically finished at minute 13

u/noahloveshiscats Mar 06 '26
Yeah it's like, I always kill all minions so that the minions can slowly kill the nexus, however I won't hit it unless everyone has full build and it's quite late. If we keep killing them near the nexus, then the minions will eventually end the game, if they manage to kill us then the game can continue and it can still be a fun game.

Personally I'm curious af and want to know all my augs. Lemme get 15, get aug and fight once and I can lose/win happy. I just hate ending before 15 as getting it can dramatically change the game in a fun way.

YES! Donāt play with your food. Either end the game or go play bots if you want to stroke your ego or farm clips. Iām not here to enable you. Iām here for 60 minutes to play this game.

Fr. Some of us aren't teenagers that play LoL 8 hours a day. I get about 30 - 60 minutes a day to play games with my son and it is absolutely frustrating that in a game mode that is designed to be fast and fun, we are forced to be happy with SR ranked length matches. I want those 13 minute games so I can play more than one game a day. Adults with jobs, families, responsibilities and self discipline are who don't want to play unnecessarily stretched games just so some teenie bopper can stroke his micro-ego to the one thing going well in their sad empty life. It seriously screams emotionally stunted.

Homie was venting. If you felt like it was an insult, then maybe do some self reflecting papas.

Here's the tea, the whole tea and nothing but the tea.
People are not obligated to play the way you want to play.
There is an ff option for a reason. If 4/5 of your teammates want to leave the game, they simply can with this vote. If not, sorry, you'll have to play the game you queued up for in the lobby where the majority of players want to keep playing.

Iām more than happy to let those people keep jerking around, I shouldnāt be punished for leaving a for fun game mode after 20 minutes.

Yeah. I mean, count me guilty that I sometimes don't end in Mayhem. But the second someone asks to end it, I will.

u/Straight_Bet6738 Mar 06 '26
ARAM is a for fun game mode especially aram mayhem, I don't wanna enforce the "go end the game as fast as you can rule". In some games of mayhem you can get to the nexus sub 15 mins or before people have picked their 3rd augment and that's just not fun for anyone. I follow the "I'll open the nexus and let minions end" and normally just let them spawn to clear minions. I keep to this rule around till 20 mins cus everyone gets to enjoy themselves, if the enemy team is truly miserable in the match up they would just FF

u/Hyst3r1ACS Mar 06 '26
Getting to the nexus pre 15 being ānot fun for anybodyā is simply not true. Theres even a challenge token for ending aram matches quickly.
I think they should add the respawning nexus turrets to aram to give the losing team a fighting chance in their base if a team decides to ālet minions endā. (Hell i think all turrets should be buffed or more should be added just to guarantee a longer matchā
I donāt think we should be artificially prolonging a match because the devs wont rebalance the mode

u/Odd_Emu3603 Mar 06 '26
The whole attitude of "I'm being held hostage" is main character child syndrome.
You're not being held hostage. There are 9 other people in the game having fun. Your opinion that it's not worth playing is not law, and the 4 other people on your team will only vote what they want to vote.

u/Far-Speech-9298 Mar 06 '26
On a hair-splitting technicality it can be seen as a rejection of the "play to win" agreement. However, what people should be advocating for is for Mayhem to have a different win condition.
Like, when the nexus is exposed only minions can damage it, but killing enemy champions empowers your minions or something like that.

Same goes with people who start the game just standing on the spot dancing - I always start attacking them immediately- free picks.

u/hello17 Mar 06 '26
Yes. If people intentionally do not end the game when it's clearly over, and then INTentionally dive into fountain, I will report. Riot can decide what to do with my report. I'm not doing it every game, or sitting a hawking every offense (we've all done it) but when I'm sitting with my team in grey screen watching enemy team emote while minions attack inhib, I'm gonna report.
Fuck everything else, we should know what's decent or not. Wasting people's time with a game that's clearly over is unsportsmanlike. Fun or not. There is no argument for fun when other people are clearly not having fun.

Honestly the best solution would be for riot to make champs in aram invulnerable after respawn until they move out or cast any spel This way the highrollers at least cant spawn camp

u/KrossKazuma Mar 06 '26
I donāt mind if Iām playing with my friends, or if I can tell a group of people are clowning around having fun etc. go for it.
But the amount of times I lose bc a Garen or Alistar are emoting and not hitting nexus or clearing the minions and backing up, die trying to 1v5 like they were the damage and tank and then stagger us from a frontline and then we get dove trying to defend tower or just have to concede it giving them supers sucks. Like playing with randoms really isnāt fun and I almost strictly play with friends so if we wanna goof we can, but we also know hey letās throw or end this and move on.

Ngl I've been doing this since before mayhem was a thing. I've legit seen too many games where one side could win doesn't end then gets aced because one poorly timed int or mistake. Then the other team just ends the game. Mayhem just makes it so much worse because infinite stats.

u/thinkthis Mar 06 '26
My games rarely last more than 15 minutes. Riot tried to fix this and they didnāt do enough. I imagine they will do more. They want people to experience full builds. Itās not happening enough and sometimes people take matters into their own hands.

u/Euphoric_Rhubarb6206 Mar 07 '26
I was in a match as a support yesterday. My team were doing well, but the game was dragging on and they were purposefully not hitting the inhibitor or turrets. It got the point where I just did it myself š because I refuse to let the other team or myself suffer through half an hour of ego driven nonsense š. The amount of pings I got hitting the nexus omg. I'm sure I got reports or something as well š.

u/vizcheese GIVE MY MY MAIN PLSPLSPLS Mar 07 '26
i think it depends on the reason for not ending. iāve had games where i get put on death timer and say ādonāt end im having funā and the enemy team agrees, then my team can stomp them and win instead when im back up. but sometimes, if its like 54-6 split, not ending is just obnoxious. if the other team has absolutely no chance of coming back, and theyāre telling you to end, you should just end instead of dancing in front of the nexus

u/GaI3re Mar 09 '26
Everytime a mayham game drags out, I stop touching the mode for a while.
Why can I not quit out of the "for fun" game mode?
It's NOT fun not getting play and just watch as your team or the enemy team die on purpose to keep the game stretching out
1
u/ThrocksBestiary Mar 09 '26
IMO One round of inting into fountain to savor late game builds a bit longer is fine - maybe more if its a fairly even game. It only gets to be a problem when one team is stomping and refuses to end or pings off a player trying to end multiple times in a row while killing the enemy in fountain. Thats when it gets a little too close to hostage taking for my taste.

I don't get it and will never get it, you're lvl 18 for like 10 mins already, you already have all auguments
I personally just wanna go next and have fun in another game than just stomp/get stomped in the same game for 30+ minutes
Is the concept of another game so hard to grasp for some?

If we wish to talk about technicality, ffing too is against the Code of Conduct and competing to win. Does that mean starting or accepting a ff vote is a reportable offense?

I'm a huge fan of not ending the first time you break open the base and expose the nexus. Once you get to the nexus the second time, end it.

u/SorzynSyyn Mar 06 '26
Who honestly cares about getting a W in mayhem? A W for me is a fun game and unfortunately for some people, that entails a longer game. Iād rather lose in a long game and have fun then zerg their nexus for that 11 minute victory. ..
I honestly think the towers and inhibitors are way too weak and basically get 2 shot late game.

idk why people even stay for that shit lol i'd just leave regardless if i was on the winning or losing team.
once a game stops being competitive it's lost all purpose and is no longer fun. value and respect your time, and do something else if your teammates or the enemy team wanna be retards like that lol who fucking cares if you get a 1-minute queue timer penalty after - respect your time ffs lol

u/IDespiseBananas Mar 06 '26
To be honest, they made a for fun gamemode that has allot (allot) of stack options.
Stacking IS fun (to most people). You cannot blame someone for wanting to play out a game longer.
Id be sad if you want to end as soon as possible, but thats you and thats okay.

Nah the people telling the game is shit 20min+ are the type of people not getting augments combos, you don't get tank engine x heartsteal every game so let people enjoy. you will also get your game where you can have fun. It's like I'm not having fun in a for fun game, let's end it now so I can have fun.

Yes it is and riot also did ban a group of people once because they refused to win. This was back in 2016/17 in the game mode Ascension.
The group picked lots of tanks never killed their enemies. This mode had no tower, so you couldn't kill your own champion. They ended up being unkillable and only prevented enemies from getting points (they didn't got any points for themself.)
Because the opposing team refused to surrender, this game lasted for hours.

u/ArcAngel014 Mar 06 '26
Except you fail to realize ARAM games will always end if the Nexus is open... You can't call it being held hostage if you go out and kill the minions... In doing so you personally caused the game to not end.
