Remake doesn't work
As stated, the server will not let players remake a game even if the person never connects.
More over, according to other players this bug has been ongoing for a while.
Why isn't this being reported in client alerts?

I also noticed that remakes sometimes don't work. I played a game a few minutes ago where the enemy midlaner didn't connect at all (there were 0% in the loading screen and he never showed up in the midlane, so complete disconnect all the time) and the enemy team wasn't able to remake (asked them afterwards).
And I experienced something slightly different from what was stated here already: A few days ago I played a game and we hat a disconnected person (from the beginning). At the 3 minute mark the game told us, we could do a remake. As I was playing adc and busy lasthitting (apparently none of my teammates hat the time for typing "/remake"...) I only managed it at approximately 3:40 to try a remake. The game then told me that remakes are only available at the 3 minute mark. In the requirements it is clearly stated "At 3:00, the impacted team has 60 seconds to start a vote by typing /remake in chat." and if my calculations are correct, 3:40 is within 60 seconds of the 3 minute mark...
Not sure why this issue is not being looked at but I would like to post my proof of this happening here in case a Red sees it. Remake does work most of the time, but there are some instances where the system for some reason just doesn't recognize the disconnect and forces players into a 4v5 scenario. I myself have experienced this issue a few times over the past several months and it is extremely frustrating, especially if you just came from a game where they enemy team just used /remake but now League is telling you that you can't. This bug needs to be fixed!
I went back and found the match through op.gg. It occurred on December 27th in the game where my team was 
vs. the enemy team of 
. Our Tryndamere didn't connect until about 6 minutes into the game as can be seen from his 0 EXP and 0 CS up to that point. When 3 minutes hit, we tried to /remake but were given the dialogue that we couldn't unless a member of our team was dc'd which Trynd was. It even said "Reconnected" when he did finally come back at about the 6 minute mark. At the time of writing, this was about 20-21 days ago. Here's my op.gg page if you'd like to find the match by scrolling down a ways there, sorry I am not sure how to find the official match history page when it is not in my most recent. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Blakiepug
Were all the requirements fulfilled for a remake to be activated?
