10 min FF Solution for Bronze afk trolls

There's just too many trolls in Bronze, wasting 20 mins with an afk teammate or a dedicated feeding troll is worse than waiting out a 20 min leaver buster penalty. It happens literally 5/10 games. You're guaranteed a troll that will feed, afk or flame the whole team with toxicity and quit. It's just impossible to climb. I'm back in B5 for the 4th time because of this. One option to make it less painful would be a 10 min FF option that would give no LP penalty to the team mates with good stats. Like the players that actually gained levels, gold and gears would not lose LP. Only the afk/intentional feeders would be punished. This would help in a huge way to save time and cut the cost of losing due to trolls in Bronze.

(..and yes I carried my team to victory in a 4v5 once, we had an afk at lvl 2 but still pushed and won. It's possible but rare.)

P.S. not accepting comments about my personal match history. I had one bad game trying out a new champ. i'm not a troll. and I never go afk or feed. thanks.

BTW if anyone is looking to climb elo hmu :D i main supp mostly. S grade on-

Nope. First what if you have someone on your team who had a bad start and had bad stays? They don't get the lp forgiveness even if they weren't the troll/afk/whatever?

Second if you don't lose lp enemy shouldn't/wouldn't gain lp. So enemy gets screwed out of a win.

Plus its easy to abuse. Looks like a loss? Bad start to match? Someone who didn't care could troll to help you not pose lp.

And I doubt 50% of your matches have a troll or intentional feeder. Toxic person maybe but learn to instamute.

Just a bad idea really

No because that's 10 more minutes of surrender spams when I just don't generally give up that easy and would rather play it out regardless of troll teammates or quitters who overreact to the littlest things and want to surrender after 10 minutes

Have you tried climbing out of bronze?[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Saying you're stuck in bronze and blaming your teammates or trolls is asking for trouble. This community thinks that, if you're in bronze you ought to be able to get a pentakill every game with 2 afk's before you deserve silver. I've learned by now that you can't just complain about shit because no one gives a fuck; they just say git good bronze scrub.

A lower ff time would be nice, but it could become abused by premade groups since "no loss so no worries".

*Also, and only to provide some constructive criticism,

tl;dr - you die a lot and could win more by not

You do "feed" a lot since you rarely have more kills than deaths on major roles like bot and mid. Your support games are a lot better but you still have a high death count for the game lengths you play (almost 1 death every 2 minutes some times). I would recommend working towards sub 10 deaths for every game to improve your games because although yes you have 15 assists, but you dies 10 times to get them making the other team profit from the engages (hypothetical, but not outside your usual average, numbers used in this example). And because you got an assist you are still worth gold, so every death is money in their pockets. I get it, feeders feed, afk's are universally hated, but you have to do your part too. If you get assists without giving a kill back you have just beat them in 3 ways. 1) they died to your team and you all got gold/exp for it, 2) they now lost pressure since you are 5v4 for some time which allows your team to acquire objectives with the advantages you have won, and 3) The member who got the kill now is ahead in lane and might be able to snowball off of it. But if it is a trade, then the 2 and 3 benefit are lost and sometimes you lose the trade because of the role that you died as when compared to their's. A mid laner or adc for a support is worth, but if you die as a mid/ adc and they lose their support, then you lost the trade since a support can not snowball or press a lane like a carry can.
