Remake won't work at 5 minutes?

Playing ranked Veigar mid, no first blood or anything happens all of a sudden our xin zhao disconnects, we try to remake and nothing then our Zyra disconnects too, and first blood still hasn't happened we try to remake nothing i don't know if there's a time limit to remake but im really annoyed I lose a game because of this at least expand it to 5-10 minutes instead of just 3 minutes because 3 minutes doesn't fix anything especially if they dc at 3-4 minutes and if 2 people dc then make it so we can remake without a time limit to make it more fair because at the moment this isn't working at all

Ps: atm im just angrily typing this out because I'm sick and tired of losing my ranked games because of 1-2 people just not connecting to the game with their trash internet and potato PC

Remake DOES NOT WORK if all players have connected to the game at any point. Even if your ADC connects for .0005 seconds at the beginning and disconnected, Remake won't work. It only works if a player NEVER connected AT ALL. And only works between 3-4 minutes

I've had this problem, or one similar, as well. One of the players in my game joined and DCed for the entire 20 minute duration, offering us no opportunity to remake. Although I think this is more appropriate for the bug report thread, I'll hash it out anyway.

I'm not a programmer, never have been, probably won't be, but I would guess my issue was related to the way Leaverbuster works. While in game, the system will wait for someone to hit the benchmark, give them a warning, then at the next benchmark will disconnect them.

I suspect that because the player in question during my game was never 1) connected long enough for (benchmark 2) or 2) disconnected long enough to hit it, that he never got booted. I suppose the system must reset the counter each time someone reconnects, and waits after they disconnect.

Similarly to how someone can sit AFK on fountain until they get the pop-up, walk around for 30 seconds, then return to standing still, to wait for another pop-up.

I don't know that this applies to your problem, but this was my experience with it. When it's working properly (read as "to my benefit"), the system is great, but when it's not working as you might suspect it to, it's rather aggravating. Best of luck in future games :)
