Ranked AFK (Less LP loose)

Mr 44·Mar 27, 2015·1 votes·894 views

Hi there fellas Summoners ! So i am trying to get up from Bronze, and one thing that is annoying is that, many people goes AFK and then the game is lost you loose tons of LP just because some guy goes AFK... Not because your Skill is bad or good. This is Unfair ! Some players like me Struggle like Hell to get up to Silver and i think this needs a Fix ! I don't know if this happens often in the next Tiers like silver, gold etc... But 1 player AFK is 80% game Loose... I know that the guy AFK will loose LP and need to wait 30 minutes to play ranked Again... But... What about us? Those u stay in the game and fight ? ... We loose because of a AFK... So plz: -> Less LP loose is someone goes AFK. -> More LP if team win the game with less 1 player or 2... So guys tell me what do you think ! Do you think this is a good idea? I think it is...

It'll take a lot for anything like this to be implemented. I would assume Riot's stance is that there is the same chance of an AFK on your team as your opponent's team. In addition, if you play 1000 games, only a small percentage will have AFKers. This is coming from someone stuck in Bronze that recently had an AFKer on my team. I say, it happens, but it only affects you a little bit. Posts like this are all over the boards every day. I'm sure Riot employees have seen it, and I'm sure they have discussions about this, but it probably comes back to the same train of thought. It's only a small percentage of a games and in the grand scheme of things, doesn't affect you that much.

Sure it will take a lot to be implemented such system, but i think is still something left to it... Something that make LP better placed after a game... But well its only an idea... :P

It balances out after a bit. As long as you don't afk yourself, the enemy team has 5 potential afkers, while your team only has 4, so over time you will benefit from afks more than you lose from them.

Especially since afks can be related to toxicity--someone should never be rewarded for being so toxic during a loss that their teammates go afk.

in theory that seems right but there are also possibility where 1 person experiences a ton of afks while another person experiences a ton of enemy afks and since these possibilities do exist, both teams LP should be effected

Yes you are right i think like that too ! Because i have experienced more AFK in my team that in Enemy teams in like what? 200 games or so... Well the theory is Still right... so... IDK... as i say before, something is left on the LP system.

Well thinking like that it makes sense to me. But i am still thinking that it would not be a good idea... :D
