Riot I don't care what champs are next or what cool new gamemode/balance changes/client stuff etc
If you can't solve the issue of a player never connecting to a game or leaving before minions spawn and never returning and then his teammates having to wait it out then literally stop everything you are doing because you are lacking a basic feature that 99 percent of MOBA's have today. Hell i played a Moba nearly 3-5 years ago that never even made it out of the Alpha stage that had a system where if someone someone never connected to a game or left early on for a certain duration then the game would simply end. They would end the game and both parties would be rewarded with in game currency except for the leaver player who would receive a que time punishment the next time they tried to begin a game.
Granted that game wasn't completely finished but it even it had a system to deal with this issue which you still have not dealt even though the games been out since 2009.
Seriously Riot cool new champions and cool new reworks and cool new balance changes and cool new hextech and yadda yadda don't even compare to how badly you have handled the AFK issue over the years and I consider this to be an offense so grave that it even gives Phreaks Yorick spotlight a run for its money.
