I find an afk player in 1 out of two matches.
Both my last two matches have had AFK players.
A couple of matches before that, another AFK, and I honestly am skeptical on even starting a game right now. There seems to be an abundance of AFK players right now and this game clearly doesn't compensate for a 4v5.
I AM that AFK player.
And I have been that AFK player for about a month now, since the new client launched. It's hectic. I am not that AFK player because I choose so. I enjoy the game, and no, I am not tilted by it. I dont ragequit, nor do I give up on games.
I am that AFK player because yesterday 4 games in a row my client crashed in loading screen - the client then attempted to repair itself which took roughly 5 minutes. I started all these games with at least one minion wave already gone, and the opponent laner being in a pretty important xp and cs advantage.
I am that AFK player because the client crashes. It crashes a lot. Usually in the loading screen, sometimes mid-game. I reinstalled it, didnt help. I am not alone.
It's come to the point where people arent even mad at me for AFKing anymore, since they've experienced the same issues. I connect at 2:45 as a Rakan support, apologize for it in chat, and Xayah politely answers with "Dude, its not your fault. It happens to me every few games aswell. It happens to everyone. Lets just try to win this".
RIOT needs to do something about it; it's been going on for way too long, and there's way too many people experiencing these issues. And yes, I'm talking ranked.

Tons of client issues. I imagine if u have a slow comp, by the time u realize it froze u cant restart and join game in time.
League of AFKs
I get an afk about 1/5 games. its insane.
I don't really blame em. Games are determined by minute 3. Some just in champ select.
running it down n afking are good options, I'll just pick one of em when I'm about to flame people and it saves me my accounts :)
What Skins said since new launcher there has been a large increase in AFK's for various reasons; people dodging with 20 seconds left not causing return to queue and the occasional time where the ingame client goes blackscreen and have to relog/restart.
If you think it is bad on the rift you should see the howling abyss, theres far more dodges there and half don't even stop the match from starting, I may make odd keystone choices but aftershock anivia isn't one of them.
