Bug remake
It has happened again. Remake system has been bugged again, not detecting correctly a guy that was not connected at the start of the game
I can't post match history link as proof, because, you know, unexplainable moderation rules (see https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/407Etr34-ok-riot-now-im-angry-with-your-boards-team when I tried to post this bug the first time), but the same bug that indirectly affected me once has happened again
This time I have further info to help hunting down the bug, though. The guy that should have been considered AFK (no movement, no items bought, no signs of activity of any kind) reconnected shortly at about 7:45-7:50 in the game (the reconnected message appeared) before disconnecting again , and explained in chat that he didn't know why couldn't connect to the game (he didn't explain clearly, but was either client crash or some connection issues) - the guy ended up connecting again just before 20 but at that point we surrendered because we were too behind and had played 15+ minutes in a 4vs5 -
So, he was AFK and not connected in the game (hence, no message of him being disconnected at the start of the game, only the "reconnect" message appeared the first time), but somehow even if he was clearly dc as explained above, the system recognized him as connected and active (which was not true), and didn't allow /remake command to be triggered
I don't know exactly how remake system works, but it looks like that one of the connection checks in the system is not properly funtioning at times, in the interval between the moment when the system recognize that everyone is connected and the game can start, and the actual start of the game
It looks like a further check is missing or not funtioning at that point, so if someone is clearly disconnected before the final check, the game starts but the guy is yet flagged as dc; if after the final check someone disconnects, no further check is done immediately at the start of the game, so in situation like these (someone has client error or connection failures between final check and start of the game), the guy isn't flagged as dc and /remake command doesn't work
P.S. The guy could have been on new client, I am not sure though (I asked to both teams in all chat to send video to report the bug, and the guy in post game lobby said he would have done it, so I don't know if he said it only to reassure people and not be reported or if he was genuinely going to do it)
P.P.S Give back LP
