Remake Reimbursement
Playing League of Legends isn't like sitting down to play many other video games. There is a high obligation to be at your computer, ready to sit without interruption for extended periods of time. Playing for years now, having an AFK is nothing new. However, since the installment of the remake feature, you can opt out of a game if a player has not connected within the first 3 minutes. This is fine and dandy, but it really feels like a complete waste of time. Let's break it down. (Numbers based on normal 5v5 match)
Average queue wait time: 3min (assuming everyone hits ready on the first try)
Declare Phase: 20 seconds to select your champion
Banning phase: 6 players- max 30 seconds each = 3 min max.
Pick Phase: 10 player- max 30 seconds each = 5 min max
Loading: Can vary depending on individual pc power of each player. Range 1-3min
In Game: 3 min until remake
Totaled up, you get over 17 minutes of wasted time. Almost what it would take to surrender that 4v5 that you remade. At least you would get a small amount of EXP and IP afterward, right?
Which brings me to my suggestion. Implement a next game IP boost, or some type of gratuity for the players who just say through all the waiting, just for a remake. Thanks for reading.
