Leaver Time

BoxOfDOG·Sep 9, 2014·1 votes·516 views

So I'm sure all of us have experienced the woes of high ping and game lag, and having to DC because of it..

But the forgiveness time is just stupid. Seriously Riot, what the hell. I accidentally DC because of my internet, leave for 5 minutes so my computer can start back up, and the "Leaver" has already come up on my match history, and I can't get back into the game.

For the love of all that is good and holy in this world, please extend the window for which we can return to the game.

I really want to say just upgrade/fix your internet however I know that isn't always an option. While I have never had an issue with the leaver thing, even though I do sometimes lag out of games, I understand your view that it is out of your control and that you can fix it but it takes some time. With that in mind if they made it a couple more minutes max it would be better I suppose. Note that they should only make it longer for normals, in ranked it could encourage afking without punishment.

Your last point: Not true.

I'm saying just increase the window of opportunity for which you could return to the game. 3-4 minutes max is what I'd like.

It's not like people are instant tech wizards? It's almost NEVER an option to just fix your connection and jump back in, because more often than not, the lag will continue to plague your game play for minutes upon grueling minutes.

You can't say my last statement which is true in my opinion to be false without a counter argument. Giving people more time to be 'afk' could be abused.
