I play Dota 2. Pressing F9 (by default) pauses the game. Any player can do that, and any player can then press F9 again to resume the game.

And, oddly enough, when a pause occurs, and is followed with something like 'sorry, phone' or 'our player disconnected', people actually wait for them.

As you know, Dota also features abilities of the 'unapproved help' kind. You can be pulled by the Blitz-equivalent if you're his ally, you can be pushed with force staff, you can be silenced but given +120% base AD bonus for 9 seconds, and the allies doing that to you don't need to ask permission.

And it works. I've played a hundred games and I haven't seen a troll. But clearly LoL's community cannot be trusted with such tools as a pause function...
