So riot, can we make a system where if a person never connects on loading screen, loss prevented?

Because it is beyond stupid to lose a game because someone NEVER connected OR reconnected just to disconnect few minutes later because of internet issues. It is not my fault, it is not his fault most of the times, and I for sure don't deserve to lose lp because of this

People would get banned if they tried to abuse the system. But, wanna know what wouldn't happen? people losing 4x5 games

Akali MIA Care1 votes

People wouldn't lose 4v5 games anymore? Newsflash, you still lose the game, you just don't lose MMR/ELO.

And not everyone that abuses a flaw in the system is going to get banned, nor is riot going to implement something that can be abused so easily.

This can't be abused easily if you're getting banned for so much leave/afk... Honestly, in a couple of months we could get rid of half of these sacks of sh*t. If you loose the game, but don't loose any LP, then who cares if it's a loss?

Akali MIA Care2 votes

yes, it really could. Someone duo's with a smurf, an account that doesn't matter if it's banned or not, and the smurf just doesn't connect to game if they don't like the team they're against, gg no mmr/lp lost.

So yes, it's very abusable.

JimmyNtheKudos2 votes

Ummm.... Lv 30 accounts are so time consuming they're actually being sold. They would have to continously buy smurf accounts for that to even work. Also, you would need to get the smurf account to a similar ELO as you, which would also be very time consuming. I don't know you'd seriously had to go out of your way in time and money to get a smurf account sufficiently good enough to help you climb. At that point it would just be better to climb yourself, or even just get boosted. (I obviously do not condone boosting or the buying/selling of accounts I'm just saying the reality here).

Are you pretending stupidity? IF someone NEVER connects, it is LOSS PREVENTED. I am not even american but I know what prevented means

Akali MIA Care1 votes

Kind of ironic you mentioned stupidity.

Loss prevented does not mean you didn't lose. get that out of your head, you still lost the game and the other team won.

All it means is you don't lose mmr/lp.

You missed what i was saying. and it makes you look stupid from my perspective.

Yeah, it would be a loss for them if they AFK'd. They will not AFK if team comp is bad, they will get banned or have to waste 150 minutes in low priority queue.

isn't it amazing how many people don't get this concept

Occams Raiser3 votes

This is a BS argument cause the crime is worse than the abuse. so it would be success.

Plot twist the 4 win and the 5 get loss prevention

JimmyNtheKudos1 votes

Loos prevention should occur in some shape or form that it happens in the early game and the game ends. That way you don't have to spend 40 mins trying to win an un-winnable game and then inevitably lose LP for trying.

Not that simple bro... it never is that simple and that's one of the reasons why you are not a game developer, so please leave that kind of issues and thinking to those who actually know what they are doing.

Now in that current form, you suggestion is highly and easily abusable that there would be no point to implement such a thing, into any game.

_ "Oh, we got a bad team... better ctrl+alt+del and end the leagueoflegends.exe so that I never connect to the game! Nice, loss prevented!"_

Ok. I think you guys are just pretending your are tards If someone never connects in multiple games, they get banned. You know, like the automated system they use when you go afk ingame.

Again, not that simple bro and you just can't ban people without proof.

Also client is too buggy and unstable for such a thing and you would ban many people who have client issues and bug splats (not to mention the infamous firewall issue that may prevent you from connecting for god knows how long), and yes, there are numerous people who still have issues with the client, just like one of my friend had... he could never connect to the game while others did. Nobody knows why, however when the game started and all except my friend were in game, he could connect to the game just fine.

Dude please, you are not a game developer. You have no clue what you are even talking about here so just stop wasting your time. League of Legends doesn't run on magic and you can't just make your wishful thinking happen like that in real life.

DOTA has a system like this one. Such a bad game riot? Stop thinking it is impossible jesus christ.

Irrelevant. DOTA is a different game than LoL. DOTA has a different client than LoL. DOTA is programmed and coded differently than LoL.

Please, just stop bro.

Ok, since you think my idea is pretty stupid, tell me a way to stop this. Because losing matches with afk people seems pretty stupid to me.

every reply i see you do involves you insulting the person just cause they have a different opinion be more open about this dude please

Blastires1 votes

I think it could be good but only against some restriction:

1 of them NEVER CONNECTED. Like, after champ select, he never showed as connected until the game ended. So it would not be an abuse case because people can't know if they are going to lose before 00:00 (except toxic people who think any non-meta suck tho). He connect for more than 5 minute, no loss prevented.

Or something like that.

"NO NO NO NO!" says Riot. "Our servers are unable to to handle the load of our popularity and we know it. Deal with it, like we have. Acted like it is all part of the plan."

Next thing you will ask for is to do something about the trolls in ranked.

this is quite possible, but we'll never know

Loss PREVENTED. If you don't lose mmr/lp, the only thing you lose is.....?
