Remake: well intentioned but flawed
The remake makes sense on surface in that it spares 4 people from the actions of 1. Or 3 people from 2 etc...
It also punishes 5 people in the process.
I queue, get a good team, talk strategy in champ select. Holy crap I have 4 random people all ready for a good troll free game!
All is well, and after about 15 minutes getting the game going we play. Winning bot-lane by 3 minutes in!
Never mind. Reset.
I get nothing. Five people line up, get along, spend time and get jack for it. Solo Queue is so full of raging trolls that getting a friendly team is rare, and after 20 minutes of waiting and playing to be sent back to the beginning with nothing to show for it because someone on the other teams internet crashed, is just plain PUNITIVE.
I don't deserve a win in my promos or LP in ranked, but a team that gets their shit together and keeps it there deserves something for essentially WASTING 20 minutes of their lives.
The connected players on the other team don't deserve a loss either.
But you gotta give the non-ff'ed team something. A token of IP or essence so they don't feel totally screwed out of their time.
And is being on a team with player that never connects worse off than a player who's internet crashes after 7 minutes? Should we not extend our Remake because that team lost its competitive play?
