On Discoed Teammates
Beforehand, I should clarify that Disco or Discoed is used to describe disconnecting or disconnected players.
I was in a game earlier today that I was called away from on a minor emergency. I was playing Taric Jungle (which is an idea I was very excited for). I returned to the game as soon as I could to find that I'd been discoed for prolonged inactivity. I'm an avid player. I go into every game with intent to win and I'm not scared of working for a come-from-behind victory. What dissuaded me from clicking that "reconnect" button is that I REALLY didn't want to deal with my teammates. I knew that as soon as I was back in the game I would be shunned and I'd have a hard time working with my team. It's easy enough to ignore toxic players, but when the whole team is against you it becomes VERY difficult to play well (especially as a tank). I knew that if I clicked that reconnect button I'd sit still for 5 minutes of loading and then I'd have to wade through unco-operative dialogue to MAYBE get to enjoy the game and MAYBE play my role well. In the end, I decided that I hadn't violated enough to be banned for more than a few minutes and that my time would be better spent doing something else. I assume my team lost.
I know this is just one other "Things shouldn't be this way" post, but I think it's a common enough problem that maybe someone with more experience can give some sound advice.
