Here's a Bug for you: Leaving the Game/AFK

One of the most frustrating things about this game is negative attitude, and AFK's Here's an idea to help with that, in my humble Opinion:

Negative attitude and poor sportsmanship - Your 'Tribunal' Is sorely ineffective with this. heres an idea, give players an in game option to Vote players out of the game - automatically adding them to the tribunal list a the same time - This will improve the game for the remaining time, and give the remaining players a sense of justice served (which they do not see at all if they 'report' a player.

This leads directly into my next suggestion: What happens when that player is no longer able to play?

AFK/Leavers - Not only should these be automatically reported, but there is absolutely no reason these characters should be left in base. you have a Decent AI system, allow players to vote to make an AFK player a bot - or if not, allow for in game matchmaking - allow players to have a choice to join a game in progress as a player who left.

I think everyone will agree that these two problems are constantly plaguing players who don't have a 'group' to play with all the time, casual players and new players especially. league has a reputation for having the worst community in all the mobas Ive played, And I'm constantly playing other mobas to get out of the funk league can put me in sometimes. take some steps to fix that problem.

This is why Ive chosen to post this in bugs, because this is something you could fix, and it's something that's is fundamentally wrong with the game at this time.

On the subject of replacing an AFK player with an AI bot, while that'd be nice, the AI bots don't play very well and can easily be tricked into killing themselves. You'd end up replacing an AFKer with an unintentional feeder. There's also the problem that bots don't really respond to player pings and have no idea how to jungle, not to mention the limited champion bot pool.

Although I'm inclined to agree with the game matching, allowing players to join mid game, many players such as my self wouldn't really be interested in joining mid game. Why? Because most of these AFK/Leavers have fed or rage quit because they're on the loosing team and are fed up. People joining these teams would have to pick up the pieces from others mistakes and potentially add another loss to their list.

Also how would you want late game joiners start? New Champ at level 1 (massive target for enemy to feed on) New Champ at level X (X being Afk/leavers level) Will need to farm gold for items (big target) or As the afk/leavers champ at same level, playing a champion they may not know how to play.
