I think its pretty bad that people lose their series because of someone who is AFK or DC right from the very beginning. This needs to be fixed. I really like the game but this is a huge reason why I do not play as much as I used to and why I refuse to spend money on this game anymore. I understand if it happens later in the game there is not much that can be done but when its right at the very beginning I think there needs to be something done about it.

Ephilim1 votesOk my answer to that is whoever is the one that afks from the beginning put strict punishments on them like they lose lp and cant play ranked for a certain number of games or a certain period of time.

When it's late it's usually rage quit, and by that time you lose all the gold they earned and xp. There's been some games where my internet is perfect but for some reason I just cannot connect. Why should I get punished so harshly for that and not for getting mad at losing and leaving?
