@slumberjack regarding the "mercy system"

I read your comments in the mercy system thread and how about this idea

easily un-abuse-able

and would fix the problem of leavers/afks in ranked

1. If a person doesnt connect after the champion select (disconnects due to internet issues) the game doesnt start and it puts you back into Q, the player who disconnected would only lose 3lp (the cost of a dodge if they are playing ranked)

2. if a person leaves DURING the load screen (an on purpose leave) they get the full penalty of not only a double lp loss (twice the rate they normally would lose) plus an instant 1 week ban as a warning the next step would be a perm ban

3)regarding players who "afk" in base but move every so often to avoid the detector add a some kind of detector that can detect when they are staying in base but not clicking every so often or make it so like the afk detector also takes into account doing damage to enemy minions/champions/jungle creeps ect

4. RANKED ONLY: at any time if somebody leaves/afks/dc's ect the following will happen 1- 3 day ban pending further investigation as to if it was internet related or intentional (a rioter would have to personally look at the players chat logs for signs of an intentional leave IE "fuck this im afk) if they find signs like that AN IMMEDIATE PERM BAN, zero tolerance policy for those who leave on purpose during ranked (zero tolerance perm bans to prevent the abuse or toxicity of teammates, knowing that theyll get a perm ban will reduce the risk of abuse)

2- if internet related or lag related they get a 1 week ranked ban (they cant play ranked for a week) with a warning type message that tells them something about how they should play ranked if they have internet issues and that if they continue having internet issues (in ranked) theyll go through the normal punishment process

3- regarding players who do decide to be toxic and try and troll players into leaving a game: add a report option on the matter: all players who are reported by this are personally looked into by a rioter: if they find evidence that they have been trying to force players to afk they get a 2 week ban, if the report was false the player who falsely reported them gets some kind of 1 day ban or something or the inability to report anyone for a certain amount of games ect.

TLDR (for the players) there needs to be something that can handle when players leave games The punishments need to be severe, but in ranked they need to be MORE SEVERE. when i get afks or leavers in normals it sucks but im not really losing anything but time when you play competitively there needs to be systems which harshly punish players and keep somebody from losing progress thanks to another person.

these arent the BEST ideas but these are my ideas that I think COULD be the best without little chance of being abused
