Dealing with AFK/Leavers!

nastyyman·Oct 26, 2014·2 votes·589 views

I highly believe that AFK/Believers are really ruining any chances of people coming through on ranked. Each week I deal with at least 2 AFK/Rage quitting people in my many games. I would like your help as the community to help riot think of ideas to deal with this issue. Clearly banning system is not effective enough as it does not effect the game I'm currently in, losing LP in something that isn't a fault of mine.

ROUGH ideas: -Buff other 4 players -Loss Prevented in certain cases (such as a leave highly effecting game)

Please help contribute!

I don't agree with buffing other players, but Loss Prevented--- yes.

Something needs done, especially in ranked.

Implement it to where loss forgiveness does not activate for duo queue teams but implement for solo queue. Or, make it percentage based. If someone goes afk for more than 25% of the game, loss prevented. THERE ARE CREATIVE AND POSSIBLE WAYS TO FIX THIS AND DRASTICALLY IMPROVE RANKED QUEUES. And for the player that goes AFK? If they're gone <50% of the game, double LP loss.

I'm done playing league after s4 and heading to another DOTA style game if it's not fixed. I'll spend my money elsewhere. It's not worth the wasted time when 4 people get punished (BY LOSING MORE LP THAN A WIN) just because some douche-frick went afk.

Win as a team. Lose as a team. Unless there's an afk. Then your team is just effed. For the love of god please do SOMETHING to address this instead of making willing, hard working players suffer.

You want more of my money RIOT? Fix this damn problem.
