Just wasted an entire 7 minutes, waiting for a person to get into the game. Can we not let this happen, because my time is valuable, and shouldn't be spent staring at the loading screen. I'm starting to wonder if Riot is doing this on purpose, as a marketing strategy. Players who stare at "cool skins" for extended periods of time may likely be inclined to make skin purchases themselves.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo10 votesyou time isnt valuable cuz you spend all your time on the boards and in game
if you had something valuable to do with your time you wouldnt be playing a video game at that time
Awhegark1 votesLol exactly. Anyone that plays this game stays 24 hours, looking at a computer.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesexactly if i had something to do i wouldnt be on here right now. i am home sick for the last few days with a virus ... so what else can i do if i can t be too far from the toilet

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswhere in my comment does it say for them to do what with their time?
it says you are on league cuz you have nothing to do ...

How do you know that this may be all the time he has to play because he in fact does have other things to do? Just not at that specific time. Why should his time be wasted doing what he likes to do before he has to do the things he's got to do by people who can't load in. That is the question that was asked and all I see are people defending it yet they never answer why they think it's ok. My impression of this fact is selfishness by entitled players who have taken the I am right and you are wrong attitude.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswell if he did then he would go do other things then post on the boards with a shit post complaining over something
and its not that they cant load it just takes a bit longer and 7 mins was an exaggeration
and not every one has the $$$ to buy a top of line pc or whatever as others so then we are discriminating vs people who arent as wealthy ?
and as far as your impression of the fact is selfishness by entitled players refers to the OP with his post and his attitude towards those who have lesser PCs then he does
now kindly STFU
ModMod Razgriz1 votesArguing back and forth and getting further off topic isn't very productive. How about the both of you either stay on topic or pick a new discussion? There isn't any need to dive into content removals, warnings, and suspensions. Carry on!

Commando Yi4 votestoasters have rights too
Rewt3 votesNo.
Some people have toasters and they dont load in very quick. But we shouldnt punish them for this. That is just wrong.
Dragfin1 votesNo.

It's not wrong. Why is it ok that those people waste other peoples time because they play on shit?
Rewt1 votesso lets just punish someone because they cant get a fancy computer like you have with daddies money
You sound like a fucking entitled prick. Shove off

So it's ok for you to be an irresponsible, entitled little child and ruin other peoples gaming experience? That is basically what you are saying. It is ok for you to play on shit because you can and screw everyone else.
Rewt2 votesThey arent ruining your gaming experience they are making you wait another 2 or 3 min to get into game from what you would have. If you think 2-3 min of your time is worth them getting Low priority Ques where they will have to wait BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN ENTER QUE then maybe you should get your priorities in line and learn some basic human empathy. Jesus fucking christ Im actually getting brain cancer from seeing your entitled little autistic screeching about people not having the money to afford a powerful gaming PC and how its ruining your "experience"
Magical Zoe2 votesJust because someone doesn't have a $1000 gaming computer means that they should be divided by how strong their video card is.

DrCyanide1 votesBecause the only entry fee to this game is a computer than can play it, and their computer can play it even if it loads slowly.
If you think that it's a problem, I'm sure they'd be willing to accept your gracious donation of a better computer for them to play on.

You didn't even come close to answering the question.
DrCyanide1 votesYour question boils down to "why aren't people in a free to play game segregated by how much money they have to spend?"
The answer is because it's a free to play game, not a pay to play or pay to win game. If you've got problems with waiting for other players to load, then I suggest you look for a game that's catered around an audience with extra cash to burn, since those players will be more likely to have better rigs.
Those players with crappy rigs are being matched with you because they're on your skill level. By preventing them from being matched with you, you run the risk of wasting even more time in one-sided matches rather than close ones.

That is your mind. You still have yet to answer the question. It's not a money issue. If it's a money issue then I will say that those with that issue should not be online in the first place because that money could have been better used for something you need. Say what you want but just because a shitty system can run the game don't mean that you aren't hurting others by trying to play with it. That is the point you people are missing then crucify me for saying anything about it because your priorities are fucked. It's my fault and anyone who plays with a system that don't have these problems according to you and we just have to deal with it. You get called out and the butthurt happens as evidenced by the responses. Take responsibility and stop pushing your BS on others who are responsible.

If someone is already paying an Internet bill, but doesn't have the spare money to upgrade their computer, then yes, it's a money problem. They're saving money by playing a free to play game. They're still playing it because a) it's fun and b) their computer can play it well enough.
Putting them in low priority queue (as the OP suggested) because of a money problem when they're playing a Free to Play Game doesn't make any sense.
Say what you want but just because a shitty system can run the game don't mean that you aren't hurting others by trying to play with it.
Running the game and Loading the game quickly are two entirely different things. Players who's computers can't run the game don't play much of the game past the first few matches. Again, this post is about people who can't load the game quickly.

I'm running on a desktop I built myself which is more than enough for League. 8GB RAM, Intel i5 Quad Core, GTX 750, and an SSD. On a slow day I load the game in about 30 seconds. I wouldn't be directly effected by the OP's proposal.
But I remember having to play on a cheap laptop because that was the best I had and the best I could afford at the time. I also remember playing with friends who had even worse laptops than me, and those also being the best they could afford at the time. Most of those computers ran the game just fine, they just loaded a little slow. Those laptops that struggled had frame rate issues, which effect the person playing on the laptop, not those playing with them.
Personal experience says that if you can't handle the difference between 30 seconds loading and 5 minutes loading, you probably didn't budget enough time to play a game of League anyway.
Magical Zoe1 votesBecause they have the right to. If you can't wait 5min for a game to load, I suggest finding a different game that doesn't depend on pvp through server communication.
Dragfin1 votesBecause they have the right to. If you can't wait 5min for a game to load, I suggest finding a different game that doesn't depend on pvp through server communication.
I am not disputing their right. I am asking why they think it's ok to play on shit and ruin other peoples experiences. Just because they can is not a reason. It's selfish.
Scary Door2 votesWhile the OP's idea is terrible, the load screen needs a timer of 60 seconds. If you can't load into the game in 60 seconds then the game starts without you... It's 2017, time to ditch Windows 3.1 and get a bit more modern here folks. It's bad enough that it takes nearly 15 minutes to get into a game after the ban phase, pick phase, dodge phase, ban phase, pick phase, dodge phase, ban phase, pick phase, dodge phase, ban phase, pick phase and load screen ends.
Better yet, why can't we implement PRELOADING during the aforementioned ban phase, pick phase, dodge phase, ban phase, pick phase, dodge phase, ban phase... well... you get the idea :).

I like this idea. We shouldn't have to wait for children who thinks a computer is a console and don't take care of it and run 947 things in the background or people who shouldn't be trying to play online with low end systems.

With the new client, it wouldn't surprise me if that's on Riot's to-do list.
Anastaecia1 votesUsually when this happens, the person never connected in the first place. I wish Riot would auto cancel games if you are in the loading screen for more than a few minutes. I know they have probably thought about it. I don't get why they always choose to have a slim chance at a shorter load time (autofill or just letting games go on with only 9 people) or just let slightly longer load times get people what they want.
Truly Prideful1 votesWhy though? How long someone takes to load has nothing to do with them as a player. If it's hurting you that much maybe single player games might be the thing for you, otherwise deal with it and play. Open a stream while you wait, browse the forum, play a game of hearthstone/other online TCGs, etc. I can't remember the last time I personally had a load screen last more than two minutes tops, it's really not that big a deal.
Sir Fuzzi1 votesWhat you're talking about is a system that most people have, in fact, abolished from their countries in favour of civility, humanity and in the interest of not being treated like pariahs on the grand scale.
Now, tell me... limiting somebody's available opportunities or rights to equal selection based on something that's not necessarily within their control sounds an awful lot like... I don't know, acting on prejudices? Like, say, every country has done in the past which usually revolves around the alienation and subjugation of a class/race of people? You know, like slavery or oppression of the poor? Are you, perhaps, beginning to understand why -17 is a pretty generous number as of this writing, where you are five hours into letting this post stand?
Get up and pee, get a glass of water, stretch, crack your knuckles. Do literally anything but sit there and stare. Alt-tab, even. And think of a time where you couldn't afford at least eight hundred dollars out-of-pocket without a second thought, and why you might not have spent that on a computer. If you have no such instance, I beg you not demean people because you have gracious providence in your life.
