So about Remake....

Ok, while there has been multiple threads about Remake I'm sure.... at the very least if this is the wrong forum for this post, sorry. My question is this. Why does it only activate when someone cannot connect from the get-go?

My last game we had a jungle who I couldn't tell if they afked crashed or what, but they didn't move/buy anything, eventually the disconnect message showed about a minute or so in. Remake time comes, "Can't remake cause no one failed to connect..." BULL****

There should be a work around for this. It shouldn't be just when a player can't connect from the start. It should encompass situations where the player just up and disappears. ESPECIALLY IN RANKED, where you're being forced into a 4vs5 the entire game since you couldn't remake since they connected but left you high and dry.

Quick Edit: I also feel quite lackluster when I win cause of this very same situation happening to my opponents.

he had connected then... and then dc'd after the window.

He didn't. He dc'ed before the window. It was only 1 to 2 minutes in.

It doesn't count. If he connects at all... it has logged all individual in the game as present even if he dc's seconds after.

Yeah.. I get that... WHICH IS THE PROBLEM, being held hostage to a game for 20 minutes cause you can't remake a game you're at a disadvantage in.

That's not how remakes work. If they're afk for 90 seconds before the 3 minute mark and no one on your team gives the enemy first blood, then you can remake. If someone goes afk at 1:29, you're good. If they go afk at 1:31, tough break. If someone is afk from 0:00-1:29 then takes a step and goes afk the remainder of the game, unfortunately, that also won't be eligible for a remake.

Ok, finally someone who speaks constructively.

Ok, I don't quite know when they d/c'ed precisely, but they sure as hell didn't move a single bit. First kill(made by yours truly) didn't occur until 2:10 and that was the only kill up to the 3 minute mark. So I made first blood, they got their kill at 3:13 maybe? Attempted remake multiple times in those 13 seconds.

I'm not sure what exactly being afk entails, but it's possible they put in some input before the 3 minute mark and made remake impossible.

Well... **** them with a rusty pipe then. Still some tweaking and leniency needs to happen with this stuff. Getting screwed like this is what makes players quit/hiatus themselves.

Well, there is also an on-going bug with /remake right now. On rare occasions, the feature will flat out fail to work when a player does not connect to the game at all because the game sometimes doesn't detect the dc even if there is one.
