AFKs in ranked.

I really think afks in ranked games should be prorated or loss prevented. People lose ranks constantly because of afks which league can detect. This is getting ridiculous!

So you create a team to go into ranked, and you create a rotation of AFKing when your team starts losing. That way you can maximize wins and minimize Leavebuster scores. Wouldn't get abused at all.

Or they could actually ban afks that do it more than a few times.

I think higher ranks put trolls in games to hold them down . thought it was a fluke last year , but 9 out of 10 game afk s is bull pit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with this. AFKs should be punished in the same way that queue dodgers are.

Electric/peoples' net services fail. They aren't trolling, but they have, in the end, broken your team. Players shouldn't be forced to pay for random people's problems. Sure there's the chance that your team might be able to pull something off, but it's not really fair at all.

If that happened during a championship match, the match would most likely be reorganized into a rematch to give the teams proper balance.

A more proactive approach would be, in cases of either afk over 5 min or never started playing, to allow the team to forfeit early by vote instead of having to sit through 20 min of broken gameplay because leaverbuster. They shouldn't need to be punished with point loss either in this situation.

Now people might complain that they left because of people raging at them. That is intentional absence and definitely should be punished, whoever was being bullied or insulted can easily file a report post-game.

I keep losing my promotions due to AFKS. this is outrageous. everytime I play in Promotion, i must have an AFK. What is my fault he/she is afk and we are playing in 4? why should i be demoted because someone thinks is a good idea to leave the game? Maybe I am a noob, but let me loose the games because I am noob, not because there are still afks in this game. Why don`t you ban their account for 1-2 weeks as you do for people who verbal abuse? its even worst to have someone who left the game then having someone offending you, at least you can mute that player, when an AFK will screw your whole work.
