5v4 "Bow Out" 4v4 LEAVER FIX

I don't enjoy winning 5v4

I've been starting this habit of not interacting with enemies if the game turns into a 5v4. I don't afk, I just loiter around.

I don't like the idea of throwing a player into an existing game but how about letting someone leave without penalty to even the teams?

After a player is out of the game for a certain amount of time, players on the opposing team could be given the option of "bowing out".

Because the person who chooses to leave might not be the same role as the person who left, which can have a large impact on how the game plays out. If a midlaner feeds and then quits, should the enemy midlaner, who's now having a good match after possibly having had several bad matches, be expected to leave as well to even things out?

I'm not suggesting anything that is mandatory. Just an option available to the team with more players.

I get where you're coming from, and I commend the effort. But no one will ever opt to do this when they have an advantage. Believe me, anytime I'm playing against a team that has someone who DCd or just straight up quit I'll apologize, I'll sympathize, but I'm still going to hunt them down.

Hmmm, maybe in Normals but in Ranked I don't see a point. People WANT to win you know? Even if given the option for a fair fight most of the time people on the opposing team would probably stay.

I see your point but how about LP shifting in the event someone chooses to bow out. Less lost more gained for the remaining players and a free small amount of LP to the one who bowed out.

If it gave less LP than a win, then people would probably just stay and win an easy 4v5. If it's more or equal, then it would be abused. People would fight over who would bow out and maybe some would bully others on the other team to leave just so they could get more LP.

Have it be a window with a 15sec timer. No time to fight over it. Players would click accept and if more than one player clicks yes it would be random. The player that is chosen will be given a 30sec timer and will blink out of the game.

Better yet let them surrender more easily like 2 out of 4 instead of 3
