3 people you don’t want to meet in League of Legends' new Hexakill mode

With the latest League of Legends game mode, Hexakill now live, I’ve been able to test the all new 6v6 matches. I must say that while I found the new mode fun, majority of the matches I joined through the solo queue matchmaking system were absolutely terrible. It’s not because the game mode is bad or riddled with bugs, it’s mainly due to the people I had to deal with in Hexakill.

Hexakill is League of Legend’s latest game mode where you can now play 6v6 matches instead of 5v5. The game mode was opened to League of Legends clients globally yesterday, February 20, 2014 and will be available to players until March 2, 2014.

Trolls

There are so many trolls in Hexakill that I’m starting to wonder if being obnoxious is just the default characteristic for people when they go online. They come in various names like oompa loompas, white knights or whatever, but there’s one thing certain, you wouldn’t want them to be on your team.

So just imagine being put in a team of five trolls who spend their time running their mouths, ruining plays, or just goofing off when you are trying to execute a team play. It is obnoxious and destroys the experience.

AFKers

Away From Keyboard players or AFKers are the type of players that would not be participating in the match at all. Some have legitimate reasons, such as the internet issues, while others would just AFK because they didn’t like the team. Or worse, they didn’t get the champion they wanted to play with.

Playing 5v5 matches is hard enough as it is, you can only imagine if you have one or two AFK members in the team. I’ve lost tons of Hexakill matches when suddenly two of my teammates would disappear never to be heard off again.
