✅ [Client] ARAM Match still starts when someone left in the lobby

I don't have a screenshot, but in the lobby for an ARAM match, the chat log said that one player had left the game. The game started anyway, and sure enough, the player was disconnected for the majority of the game (they reconnected at the very end).

I'm under the impression that a game is supposed to get canceled if a player leaves in the lobby, so this seems to be a bug to me. I don't know if I've seen the bug before or not - I've noticed a lot of ARAM games starting with an AFK, but this is the first time I've noticed the message indicating that the player left in the lobby before the game started.

I could post the match history for the game, although I don't know if that's okay or not since it would clearly identify the player who left.

If a player loses connection while in lobby, the lobby doesn't automatically restart. If so, Riot would have a ton of angry players who may lose connection for a very short time, but are able to reconnect quickly with no issues. If a player leaves the client, however, the lobby will instantly pop back into the queue search, as you mentioned. I hope that clarified what happened for you!
