Solution for AFKs
Some time ago I created two threads on the forum.
One was a survey with question: "How many times you are AFK a month?"
Another was a suggestion how system should deal with AFKs
16 players responded to the survey. Result of survey was that there is: Once a month is - 2 players Few times (2-6) a month is - 1 player Many times (more than 6) a month is - 2 players Lass than once a month is - 11 players
It seams that: For 81% of players being AFK just only once (or even less) a month For 19% of players being AFK it is happening more often
...and in thread "That is how the system should deal with AFK." I have suggest you a solution what the system could do to fix the problem:
I think the solution is simple.
For the draft solo / duo mode (also ranked games) it would be enough if:
AFK (if player is AFK 3 times or more)
- should not have possibility to join the game after 3 minutes if he was offline from the beginning (early is very important) or for example 5 minutes during the game (after 3 min)
- punishing by ex loss of essence points or even experience
- punishing by some kind of penalty points, and after collecting a certain number of them - suspend account temporarily
Team with AFK - draft / ranking game solo / duo is based on a random selection of players and they are do not know each other, while in the case of 5-players flexible games the team should be responsible for their affection:
- if they would lose - they should not lose points, and they should even get them for the loss of time
- if they would win, and afk left the game, eg 10 minutes before its end (depending on how long the game would last) - they should receive: experience points
Team without AFK
- if they won, they should be rewarded in the normal way
- if they loses, they should lose more points
To base the matches on such rules would eliminate the presence of a troll as it would result in suspension of the account.
In result... it sugest that it should be no matter for most of us (81%) if system will be punish for AFK.
In other way if RIOT will not try to fix it, he should compensate for us lost time for lost games.
What do you think about it?
