Yeah I did and I'm aware of what you are saying in the op which is why I'm confused:

Your second paragraph is where it gets confusing. This is where it gets more confusing. Trolling to the point of boredom is not possible here. Your team is not going to sit around and do nothing and specfically attack you if you try to win. You're not going to go in to a race with 11 people stopping you in your tracks so that no one wins because the game wouldn't even end. I'm not even sure its possible to even to deter a person like that in a Mario Kart game or any racing game in general. Fundamentally, you couldn't fool around like you could in Smash 4 in for fun non-team battle and experience points clearly isn't the reason. If all I did was in Street Fighter 5 was jump around and the other knocking me around, or if I was playing any Soul Calibur game online and all I did was wait at a ledge so I could ring somebody out, does it make sense for me to blame Capcom or Bandai Namco respectively because I didn't get rewarded with experience points for winning or something in a fighting game? No, it doesn't and it doesn't make sense here either.

Again, I came into this thread assuming this was about something else, but I am confused because of what you are saying here because your problem doesn't make sense

 

I snipped out the parts where you said what I already did and are stating the obvious as that just made your post unnecessarily long.

As said, the reason I brought up Mario Kart and Splatoon were not because of how exactly people were trolling in those games, but how many, that was all. There's trolling in all games obviously, but Smash has significantly more than pretty much every game I've ever seen. And yes it makes perfect sense to blame Nintendo for not taking obvious counter measures against trolling. Admittedly they do have rules which can kick players, but they obviously aren't working, and they haven't even acknowledged the existence of this problem.

but... why are they going online to not fight? I don't understand the logic behind it, even if you play in non ranked games of something like Street Fighter you don't have people joining games to not play.

Actually rather confused by that, like... is it a case of enjoying being online? but... you can't really communicate in Smash with the other fighters so you might as well just go into a game with 3 controllers on the ground not doing anything, is this really a common thing online in the game? Surely not

 

For stupid fun of course, it's cool to be a rebel! Really I'm not even sure lol. Another reason it's so prevalent here compared to other games must be that gang-up factor though. It essentially forces players to play the same way as you'll be punished otherwise.
