Decrease surrender time for each missing/disconnected teammate?

Zorasama·4/5/2016, 12:56:32 PM·134 votes·3,071 views

When my teammate stay dc more than 5 mins game should be already over. Why do I have to suffer waiting for 10-15+? Probably only count when someone dc'd long enough to get a Leave.

Also, this would help 1v1 room in custom mode to end easier :D

i wish if they disconnect for more than 5 minutes a new player should be able to join in because it's bull shit when they never come back and ruin your game

great idea, any AFK(leaver status) should results in -5 mins for surrender countdown

Riot: "What's a disconnect? We don't see that in LCS so we don't pay attention to it unless it a "bug""

Why this won't happen: Losing a game. You 'encourage' a teammate to AFK or disconnect so you can end the game faster.

and then two trolls vote no.

I agree with this. And I'd like to add some extra things as well;

The leavers at the end of these games, if it is a Ranked environment, should receive double the LP penalties for the loss as punishment. And if multiple strings of it occur, then they should be dropped a whole tier, if they hadn't already. Severe penalties are necessary when dealing with repeat offenders.

No. Just make it so that if you have an afk, you can leave the game without penalty. No matter what the time limit is, those 2 duos that are 1-15 (which made your mid rage quit) are going to vote no and trap you in the game until the enemy destroys the Nexus anyway.

what about the people who disconnect do to a network outage or a PC problem? i've been mid game and without my knowledge, my PC did a automatic restart to install updates. stuff happens from time to time. I have also had a problem where i got bug splatted and it kept happening, so i had to restart my computer or all together reinstall league. then got penalized for it.

Needs to be a way that the league client can tell the difference between connection disruptions, leaving the game, or being AFK/unresponsive in game. I know theres the AFK warning in game from not moving long enough which doesnt seem that fair because people while just alt tab and then come back to move or place a ward or something.

Smite has an early surrender I've seen from time to time at 5 minutes (half of their normal time). I don't see why not.

I think that surrender should be changed to 15 minutes anyways. The games are often much faster and even though a lot of games are close, I definitely have more than one out of 10 games where it's impossible for one team to come back after 10 minutes. I mean, if it's 22/2 by 10 minutes. Why can't we surrender? I understand that they don't make it at 0 or 5 minutes because of potential abuse, but at 10 or 15 minutes I don't think that it's an issue because you can push for nexus by that time if both teams are colaborating.

How about instead, Decreased death timers per disconnected / player that has not left shot within 15 minutes. Surrender times were all ready reduced in a previous patch, i don't see much use in lowering it even more.

I agree with you on 5 v 5 s, but you realize you can both just leave a custom 1 v 1 with no penalty, right? You'll instantly be able to queue up for another game if you both leave. My friends do it all the time, 1 v 1 till first blood then both quit and do it again with a different champ.

Any AFK should allow you to instantly surrender. 4v5s can happen. But they rarely do. I don't want to waste 20 minutes in a painstakingly cringe game that hurts to play, but I also don't want to be reported for AFK.

Yes. So much yes.

I'm all for this.

However, there's a special place in lower Elo where your vayne d/cs 3 minutes in, comes back 25 minutes later only level 3 and ends up getting a triple kill as you push for the victory 10 minutes after that.

Check the last match in my match history, otherwise look for the malzahar game with vayne in it. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Bearricane
