I should not be forced to lose LP for this

Here I am, trying to come back from a pretty mediocre win-loss-win-loss streak, and then this shit happens. Noc loads just fine, connects, buys items, disconnects. He does not return the entire game. I cannot guess his intentions, or if it was simply a tech problem - though honestly my first guess was that Kayn got banned by the enemy which is what he was hovering, and he decided too little too late he didn't want to play Nocturne. That is all besides the point, though.

Nocturne bought items, did not leave base or move at all, and disconnected at 0:29 in game, and we were not once notified that he reconnected, therefore he was disconnected for at least 90 seconds before the 3 minutes mark. An early death will not stop a remake unless it is before the player DCs, however Tristana did not die until 2:13. There was a 104 second gap between his DC and her death. I have read over the Remake FAQ at least 3 times, there is nothing that should've prevented us from remaking. I have read Rioters state that you will not get a remake unless a player has never connected, however this conflicts with what is stated in the FAQ. https://i.imgur.com/V8J9y6q.png

Edit: My literal only theory as to why else we did not get the option to remake is because Tristana died at 2:13 due to hardcore cheese. However, the Remake FAQ states as follows: "First blood against a player's team before they leave/dc will prevent a /remake vote." Nocturne had been gone since the first few seconds of the game. So why the hell weren't we given a remake? I've also had other players confirm that deaths should not prevent remakes unless it is before the player DCs.

Edit: **I do not care that I lost LP simply because I lost LP. I care because I should have received a remake and did not. I care because a system that is in place to prevent this issue failed entirely. ** Yes, I know you have to manually remake. Yes, I am sure that we did not get the option to.

TL;DR - A player on my team, connected, bought items, did not move at all, and then disconnected at 0:29. We were not given the option to remake at 3:00 despite everything in FAQ indicating that we should have received a remake. The remake system is more than likely buggy, and it lacks a large amount of clarity.

Made this complaint multiple fucking times, gets downvoted to oblivion because the question "How is that fair for the other team" comes into play.

More instances of this are biscuits preventing remakes when a player never connects because it's an item, a player has a really shitty computer so they're technically not "disconnected", but can't actually load into the game, or we got the "A player has disconnected" at around 30 seconds and you can't remake because technically they were "in the game".

You have absolutely no idea how many ranked games I've lost because of this stupid ass shit, I made a smurf the other week where I had a 96% win rate drop down to a 79% winrate because of how wonky the remake system is.

The only thing you can do is, unfortunately, take the loss and move on. Riot has no intention of fixing this problem.

Sorry man. :/

game is broken, and they wont fix it,

i get remakes all the time, whether first blood is taken or not, afks are a big problem in the game, and they just ignore it.

Riots LP gains/losses MMR system is stupidly bad. Basically anyone could write a better system. That we are punished because their game is toxic (an environment created by Riot) just adds to the toxicness. Its a Self feeding downward spiral of toxicness.

People have to deal with this crap and get upset. The more they have to deal with it the more they get upset until they break and lashout in chat and then get punished by riots STUPID ban bots and now they are SUPER upset and become toxic themselves, spreading it to others.

All because Riot MMR system s BROKEN with afkers/trolls and Boosting/Throwing Smurfs

You lost the game, therefore you should lose LP. Simple as that.

So why the hell weren't we given a remake?

As far as I've seen remakes only start when the player has never connected. It was indeed there, albeit not long, so it was denied.
