So /remake is broken.

Let's start over...

It's come to my attention thanks to the comments given by the wonderful community that I was wrong.

/remake isn't broken.

/remake is pointless.

The amount of games ruined by junglers who ragequit 40 seconds into the game, or people who disconnect shortly after the game starts as opposed to during loading, is far greater than those ruined by loading screen disconnects. If loading screen disconnects are that huge a problem, Riot would be better served spending their resources fixing the bug in their server code that causes that issue to be so prevalent.

/remake is pointless and a waste of time, like... well, most of what's been put into this game in the last three years. I'm not actually sure why I'm surprised.

It turns out it's just business as usual, folks! Disregard this post. Carry on!

You know, it's better if you actually did SOME research about what something does and how it works before saying that it's "broken"

I suppose that's a good point. I just did it, but it's still broken: Not a single person on my team used it. They didn't even entertain the thought. This suggests it's either a hassle, or simply not known to make people. Regardless of the why, if you're in a situation where most of the four in a 4v5 game wouldn't go in on /remake, it's a broken feature because it's not doing its job.

You keep using that word... I don't think it means what you think it means

Broken. In disrepair. Not functioning to intended effect. If my door is broken, it's not securely shutting off my home from potential thieves. If my microwave is broken, it's not heating my noodles properly. If /remake isn't reliably bailing people out of a 4v5 game, it's broken. "Broken" in the context that a champion is "broken" isn't the original use of the word, you know.

/remake is intended to restart games that loaded as a 4v5 due to someone disconnecting.

It's not intended to restart games where someone gets mad in his jungle and leaves.

Nothing is broken.

Remake only works if someone is afk up to the 3 min mark, where you'll get a message saying that you can /remake. Feeding, trolling etc won't make remake work, it's not a safety net to use if you have a bad start.

Precisely. This Udyr seemed to think it was, and it ruined our game. (By the way, we never got a message saying we could /remake.)

Cause no one was afk. Udyr left the game, he wasn't afk from the start. Remake doesn't work if someone leaves the game by rage quitting.

If everyone followed this rule, there'd be very little discussion about anything.

There is a lot of pointless discussions already why you want to add more to the nonsense table?

There's no nonsense here. The fact is, we had an Udyr leave at the one minute mark and we were never informed we could /remake, as another reply stated should have happened. If he's wrong and it's just a vote you call, akin to a surrender vote? That never happened either. In other words, /remake isn't working the way its supposed to. If a game feature isn't working to intended effect, making a note of that fact is not pointless.

Monsters spawn at 1:40. Remake requires you to be afk for 90 secs in the first 3 minutes. Do the Math. OP and This thread is a waste of space.

OP and This thread is a waste of space.

I could say your mom is a waste of space, but I don't know your mother and that's petty and pointless to say. Same as you don't know me, and telling a complete stranger they're a waste of space is petty and pointless.

But as long as we're wasting space, this reply!
