Riot: solution ideas for quitters.

Obviously we all hate quitters, not because they left, but because there isn't really a solid solution (which honestly starts to shock me the more i think about it considering how often we get AFK's and Quitters) and without fail almost always leads to a 15+ minute game that just felt like a huge waste of time for everyone (a round that I personally never would have played had i known someone would have quit)

So, I propose we each throw in some solution ideas to remind Riot that while we cant fix this problem 100%-- there's GOT to be a way out there to help reduce the negative impact this problem causes to the game.

THE PROBLEM:

1. Quitters (by quitter I mean they either straight up quit the game, or they AFK for a long enough time period (like several minutes+) to cause a loss for the ally team (due to whatever reason such as you fed, or are severely far behind or don't have enough gold to come back etc)
2. We dont have SOME kind of backfill system in place.

A SOLUTION:

1. Backfill (at the top of my head I see two ways to implement this)

   --- When players are in QUEUE waiting to join a game, a pop-up appears saying ("Someone quit a game that's already in progress and needs you to backfill! - would you like to join? (yes / no). Upon hitting yes you will be placed into their game and use their champion at the same Lvl they were at, including using their same rune page and masteries etc etc (yes AND whatever skin they used but obviously you don't get that skin permanently). Also, you can ONLY backfill if you have that champion bought already! Meaning League knows who you have and who you dont, so it will only allow you to backfill champs that you've already earned. Again, once the game is complete obviously you do not have their rune pages or runes etc (it would be as if you never joined it in the first place). To make it fair this is purely to help random people out and you would not earn any IP ( (unless you folks feel otherwise), but I personally feel like it may complicate things by trying to calculate IP earnings.

**2. **Or, some form of compensation

-- If we don't have the option to backfill, then there has GOT to be some form of compensation that is fair for the team that lost a player. I actually dont know what would be fair TBH...but hell, maybe it could be 10% increased rate of gold per 5/sec, or maybe more IP at the end of the round ...or SOMETHING. There's got to be something we can think of (personally I like the backfill idea much more though, whether its a bot or a real person)

ALL -- please join me in jotting down some ideas, and hopefully riot will read them and say "hm, ya know what ..maybe we could add something here or there to help this problem".

Thanks,
