We all know people that dont connect is frustrating. But I have played games where maybe a top laner never connected and we are still all doing every well and taking objectives. A 4v5 is hard but not impossible, dealing with minion waves and regrouping is what kills most 4v5s even if the team with 4 has multiple fed champs. Empowered recall would help grouping, thus making it a little bit better if the team with 4 actually has a chance.
NinjaCÅT6 votesyou cant buff a team at all for losing a player, its sad, but you just can't. because it will be exploited, all you have to do is temporarily DC, (maybe when you are dead) and quickly reconnect, so that in the time you were DC'd, your team could recall. (sure, you could make it so you have to be DC'd for 90 seconds before the buff would apply, but the buff would still either be to small to help much, or be to large and would be worth it to have an ally (who is really far behind) leave the game))
The best idea is just fix as may connection bug as possible and ban quitters.
WolfBV6 votesMaybe have it be 10 minutes before the buff comes into effect, and if the player reconnects then the buff disappears.
Slushi Simcambi3 votesI can get behind this.
Kingsgrave1 votesNice idea.
Maybe just give the afkers team a mini baron buff? Faster recall, more damage to minions and monsters, their minions push harder etc.,
Mathbalnase1 votesI already had a game last week where someone who was new to LoL and performing poorly was repeatedly berated and told to 'just stay at spawn'/etc
I don't think we need to add even more incentive for such harassment.
Jamnon1 votesInteresting idea. What if 2 afk on one team, 1 afk on the other... now they both have empowered recall?
Maybe you could give it to the team with missing players, whoever has the most afkers?
Direwolfiez1 votesThis is a good idea. It's not strong enough to encourage pre-mades to quit to help their partner win a game, yet it's actually helpful for the people still in the game. Great idea :3
Spacesuit Spiff1 votesThat's the first reasonable version of this I've seen. I could get behind it. Just make it so that it only works if the player just never connects at all, so that it can't be exploited.
SnowBunnyOfLove1 votesI feel this would be a good idea if X person doesn't connect from the beginning. I dont see it necessary before 10-15 min because the jungler or whomever could go to whatever lane to fill and you never know it might just take X person 2 min into the game to connect because of a client crash or fire wall issues so you don't want to buff them for no reason. Then If hes still missing you have 5-10 min to FF if you don't want to play a 40 min disadvantage game.
