Players who AFK'd in Game
I'm aware that naming and shaming is forbidden on here. However, I feel this is the best place to post complaints since the Tribunal is broken and reporting players in-game is skewed. I also strongly feel that since this is a public forum, players who read this post can have the option to decide if the players actions were justified or not.
IGN: iKason - During the game queue, this player selects his champs then waits for the countdown to almost complete before saying "Let's make this a quick game. I have to work in an hour." As you can imagine, this player disconnects about 30 mins into a winnable game. This player received the red name highlight to show a leave.
IGN: Imhungryeveryday (clearly a smurf account) - I'm not exactly sure what happened to this player. However, once Brand left, this player stopped playing as well. To better understand the situation, the opposing team also had an afk player around the time Brand left, although he later came back. I felt even with Brand gone, this would be a winnable game thanks to Teemo's shrooms and him doing a good job holding his lane and responding to pings. However, this player never returned and did not have his name highlighted in red at the end of the game. This tells me that the player either was not idle or League of Legends system didn't acknowledge this as a disconnect.
I will continue to report poor players, trolls, and afks via the forums in hopes that Riot will make a strong effort to either rid these types of players or separate them from more serious, skilled players.
**I have made over 30 complaints to Riot and their team via the Player Support Tickets and [email protected] over the last 5 months and I have not received a human response. Each of my emails were met with an automated response, sent to a "Behavioral Specialist," and was never heard from again. This is a clear indication of Riot's poor consumer service or lack thereof. Again, I will continue to post in the forums as an effort to receive a constructive response from a Riot employee. If this message is deleted (as several other messages have been by other players), I will then look to report Riot Games to the Better Business Bureau.
