AFK In Ranked Play

Happy Gilmore11·Jan 20, 2016·2 votes·438 views

Hello aIl. I was playing a few ranked games and three games in a row, my team had a person that either didn't connect or had to leave the game early. I ended up winning one of those games, but as a result, I still lost some LP. I know I'm only B4, but I still think it's unfair to the people that have to deal with it. There is a system that can tell if someone is AFK so why can't there be something with that the forgives remaining player the loss of all/some LP and maybe a boost of LP for winning. Just subbed a ticket asking about it and was recommended I come here. What do you all think? P.S. I'm sure this isn't to big of a deal for higher elo's, but in bronze it quite common. Thanks. Hope I put this in the right board. XD

I like the idea of less LP loss if there is an AFK on your team, and more LP loss for the AFK. Though there are obviously fine reasons to AFK though. That's why this is hard to balance.

It's tough because that could start encouraging people to pressure the "feeder" to afk to reduce losses on a losing game.

They could counter act that with putting more LP loss on the feeder, thus making the feeder not want to afk :b.

So you lose more and your team loses less? No

No the AFK will lose more. This would make the person being pressured to afk NOT afk

"Just subbed a ticket asking about it and was recommended I come here."

Be sure to submit a response to tell whoever that was to stop recommending that.

Now, for 158th time this thread has been made, discussed, and concluded: "No, that won't happen. That will never happen. Riot will never implement that or any other system that makes people who lose a game not lose a game they lost."

Seriously; Go use the search bar.
