"Remake" Bull - Riot, could you please stop being so shit to your players?

"EDIT": 4 out 8 of my last games, two in a row.

Riot,

For the past 8 or so games I have either had tremendous lag (I know you guys do useless shit like track ping because that's apparently what Riot does all day instead of anything productive) or an AFK on the other team. I know you've stopped reading because you're butthurt, but here goes anyway. I am supposing you encourage people who play LoL to just sit down and be butthurt babies like you. Whenever they cry about an afk, you just feed them a what is essentially a win, or this bull you call "remake". Was the match remade? No, you just gave the other team a reprieve instead of justly punishing the AFK.

You're trying to quell the anger caused by a game played with an AFK. Well guess what.

You make us wait in queue. Get queue rejected three or four times. Pick roles and Champs, then some asswipe dodges. Then we repeat until finally we get into the game. Wait another few minutes in loading screen. Finally we start the game. Maybe my team is losing, maybe it's winning. It doesn't matter because as soon as they want to, the other team can just use the "oh boohoo, my teammates is afk and I don't know how to play if I don't have four other people to flame at". It doesn't even count as a Victory for us. No compensation for 10-20 minutes of our life just wasted.

We might as well play on for an extra 10 minutes, and have the whining babies hold their bladders, and rightly so. They shoulda learned 15 years ago when their mommas potty trained them how to hold their piss in. They should know how to wait till 20 to ff.

I've won games 4v5 and I'm sure most players have. It's not the end of the fucking world.

Unfair advantage? You ruin games with Dynamic queue, pairing teams with random people against premades. That's definitely fair. But you waste our time and don't even punish players who AFK and supposedly 'ruin' games so that they have to count as draws.

League of Legends an eSport? My ass. In sports we don't hold hands and all laugh when one team decides not to play because they had lowlifes with no commitment. We lose if someone doesn't show up. It's called forfeiting. Or we make do without them.

Maybe I'm the only one with this complaint because you'd rather have 9 people placidly pissed off than 4 who are justly infuriated and 5 impassive or joyous because of circumstances of chance. Do you even realise that you have trolls who take advantage of this shit? 3 out 7 of my last games have been remakes. All from the enemy team.

Hope you enjoyed my rant because that's all it is. No way you're going to improve the system in any way.

fucking what? the community was complaining about losing to 4v5s in ranked consistently. Now you have a way to save some LP, AND THE COMMUNITY STILL COMPLAINS.

You are not entitled to a win just because the enemy team is down a person.

Just go back into queue and hold your bladder for another 10 minutes while you find a game with 9 other people who can actually play with you.

My god you are salty, Riot doesn't want to listen to players who just insult them. In your opinion people should have to play at a disadvantage because someone screwed them over, so the remaining guys should be punished with a loss? Why would that ever make sense. You also raged on Dynamic Queue saying they have a disadvantage already so it doesn't matter if they get an afk, no matter what the case with dynamic queue is, you should not be punished because one person just afk's immediately. I'm sure many have won at least a single 4v5, doesn't mean its easy or better than 5v5. You are the one being butthurt and crying right now. Also what is so wrong with you that you need to mention a bunch of unrelated things like piss and bladders. Seriously you are one weird kid who can't handle anything fair.

How is it fair for the enemy team to have to fight a game out with 4 v 5. sure you would love it because you have an advantage over them. They should punish the AFK'ers for sure. I think if someone AFKs in ranked they should be banned from ranked until they provide a serious valid reason through riot support so it doesnt happen again. People with absolute shitt wifis shouldnt play ranked.

my girlfriends home wifi is so bad she disconnects every 10 minutes for a 1 minute interval. She shouldnt be allowed to play ranked. typically those kind of AFK intervals dont cause a ban or anything, and many times people dont report that kind of stuff.

But my point is, the new system is a good system, you are choosing to play ranked and if youre going to play at that level of competitiveness youre going to have to make sure theres a level playing field. I dont care if you have a 4 v 5 team if you have 4 people, and I have 5, I am going to make you surrender at 20.

In low elos people just spend all day in their lane when their enemy is afk, which is advisable for a short period of time, but its better when they harass the enemy lane and make sure they cant farm either by double teaming them. Now the enemy has two useless players an afk and an underfarmed player.

If bot lane has an AFK for the first three minutes and he/she reconnects, unless she tower hugs (and loses farm at the same time) I am going to kill him/her simply for the fact that my experience level and items are better than them so we out damage them.

Youre silver III right now which isnt excellent (although to be honest silver is my favorite elo, the most cooperative and some of the best players there are) and thats an elo where they will start to take advantage of the AFK.

My problem with remake is that is punishes at all. If someone is AFK before first blood, they have a damn good reason to be so. I'd say reduce the timer to five, at most. I get these constant rare bugs with the loading screen that just reject my connection entirely. It's not the connection itself, its the servers. Remake is a double-edged sword. It shouldn't punish anyone at all, because if you whine before first blood, its usually for a really, really good reason.
