AFK queue is still needed in this game(MY ORIGINAL IDEA)

MrGruszek··3 votes·1,324 views

Hi everyone! I came up with a nice idea. I came across to create an AFK queue. What would it look like? It is completely negotiable, but specifically the point is that when someone leaves the game and we would have AFK and we could probably lose the game, someone can replace us by entering the AFK queue. It would be in the main menu and would concern games, e.g. normal / drafts / arams or ranked / flex matches only. Click this queue, choose the role you want to play. The player then receives the minute and statistics of the person who left and the time when she left. The player decides if he wants to join and help this team or not. If not, he is looking for another match. For playing such a match would be extra honor points / heavenly essence / extra experience. The queue would run, e.g. 3 minutes after the person left the game or immediately (depending on whether after his return the person could return to the game, throw away the one who replaced AFK and give me some consolation prize for trying to help). Let me know what you think about it! Best wishes, Oscar from Poland;)

I would join it, for the added difficulty of turning the game around..

But I do not think there would be many more who would actually do it. For reasons like it maybe affecting MMR.

  1. What if that leaver/afk player wants to return? The one who "helped" will get thrown away?
  2. Players would abuse this by forcing the ally that plays bad to afk so that another(possibly better) player will replace them
  3. How will you stop players from hunting for games in which winning team had an afk and using them to abuse free wins?

Not to mention possible technical problems and the need for special matchmaking system(we can't really allow diamond+ players to substitute an afk and smurf for free, right)

  1. Yes. And after it it would give him some blue essence/+ honor points.
  2. Players are abusing it anyway. One more feature is sometimes causing 2 more problems.
  3. It would work just random to avoid that. You are clicking afk queue and it is randomly taking for you some game with similar players mmr.

Players are abusing it anyway

And they will do it even harder

It would work just random to avoid that.

Ah great. "Let me help some poor guys with afk/leaver, oh shit im in a 0-20 game and our nexus is almost down, -20 lp, nice game"

I didn't said that it will lose your LP. Neither I said that will give you any LP. It is not my work to precise the details of this queue. I'm not rioter and I don't even know how Riot's elo program works. I think that it will should contentrate on some rewards like blue eseence/honor points/more exp. League points are the other history. Maybe it would't give you any league points for helping the others to win a game but you can still gain anything else for trying to make it up.

Details of my idea are completely negotiable. They depend of Riot Games elo/honor and blue esence system. The award of playing this afk queue and all the conditions included in playing in afk queue too. For me only idea is important, all of the details depends on Riot Games.

Why so many people dont like this post, its the first time i hear this idea and its so good, it would be funny to the people that enjoy helping and good for the team with an afk

Way too difficult to implement and for the most part - unnecessary. Just punish ragequitters and fix the client so people won't stuck loading into the game. And don't punish people with lp loss who actually want to play but got a power outage/dc and reconnected too late. This also makes people to lose interest in coming back.
