Please don't queue up for a ranked if you don't have at least 45 minutes.

I don't think anything is more tilting than an adc at 20 min saying 'group mid guys win now i g2g', then 5 minutes later afk'ing for the rest of the game, when you were winning by a landslide.

Anyone who does this in a ranked should be banned from ranked for 50 games.

FU draven last game. FU.

He does have a point, however. Why would you queue up for a game if you don´t have at least one hour to spend in that game?

You´d be just wasting people's time. Life happens, yeah, i get it. But if you can´t make up time, don´t try to make a game end faster just because you have to go somewhere to do something.

Login sooner, play when you have more time or just go ARAM instead of ranked.

Spend a short amount of time on things that take a shorter period to be completed, like the previously mentioned ARAM.

I think by "life happens" they meant something along the lines of "Oh shit my son just got in a car crash!" I'm sure this isn't the case for most things but it does happen. I've had surprise work calls, surprise family visits, all sorts of things happen before. Thank god only in norms though.

No I think by life happens they meant someone wrecking your car but not leaving their insurance.

DepressedAhri3 votes

You shouldn't play League while driving, the wreck was probably your fault.

SithesisLord2 votes

I mean, if it is serious, then by all means AFK. Disco Heat did it in one of his videos and it was for a legitimately good reason. On those circumstances, it´s understandable.

Just gonna say, if my kid just got in a car crash, the other players would be lucky to get a "Oh shit, emergency" out of me. I'm not gonna say "hold on son, lemme see if I can win this in 5 mins", like OP is talking about.

Same here.

After two different instances of teammates wishing death on the people I had to go help after I took the time to explain why I had to leave, now I just tell my teammates "gtg mom found out I skipped school" or "brb pool on fire" goes afk.

To be fair, if I queue up with 45 minutes to spare, and then I have to spend 10 minutes in queue because six people dodged in a row mid-queue after accepting the match in the first place, then I might have to go at 20 too.

Things happen. Like your house could be on fire.

Or there could be a fight between you room mates and your the biggest one there.

That or other things. Some people just don't know. Life is unexspected/

This^^^

In a perfect world I'd have hours upon hours to play league. But the world isn't perfect. And shit goes down that is out of our control and most certainly out of yours'.

Family issues (injury, verbal/physical confrontation, something sudden like childbirth (likely someone else's), finding out family was in car accident or on a happier note someone recieves a prestigious award(like from uni)). Perhaps mum needs you to cook dinner or clean the house for guests.

Personal: sport team might need an urgent fill in, uni sends you new content to go over, work calls you in due to a co worker canceling or perhaps you were dumb enough to forget about your shift until 10 minutes before you need to be there

Internet issues (isp does unscheduled maintenance) or goes down due to bad weather or technical issues. Denial of service attack (ddos)

Hardware/system failure. Such as repetitive bugsplats, a sudden gpu driver update that starts without you knowing (makes ur screen turn on and off during installation) or another system update that force-restarts your pc. Some happen just cos they can even if you've taken measures to prevent them (such as hot fix updates).

You can't stop any of that. And anything family/real world based trumps this game every day of the week until the sun expands and kills everyone on earth. Work, education, family, sport to a degree all trumps a video game, if you disagree please consult a therapist as you sooo gotta set your priorities straight

So often though, it isn't the case. Life happens and stuff. No problem. If you say, crap, my kid fell/pet had an accident/the house is burning etc best of luck to ya. However, have had numerous games (the vast majority of the time actually) where someone on the team says, we need to be done in 20 minutes because I have things to do.. That isn't an o crap moment where something unexpected happens. They are giving a 20 minute warning as soon as the game starts which alone states, they didn't even try to put enough time aside for a game. Those assholes never seem to be on the enemy team though QQ lol. At least say it in champ select so I can dodge and face a 5-15 minute penalty which is way better than a 20+ minute loss 4v5.

DepressedAhri1 votes

No idea why you were downvoted, this is a valid point and happens all too often.

Dolasaur2 votes

I think having the ADC disconnect at 45 minutes would be worse, IMO. At least at 20 minutes in a landslide your mid and top can still probably carry.

I don't queue with less than 80 minutes (since I've never had a game go over 70).

Shadragon2 votes

Oh man I had an 80 minute game once. I was the ADC, and we lost because I accidentally flashed forward when I meant to use E. I think I stared at the defeat screen for another 30 minutes, completely devoid of all emotion except a faint hint of despair.

BastionKross2 votes

Indeed. You should give yourself 25 minutes to actually get into a game and then an additional 20 minutes to surrender.

Theorchero2 votes

Don't queue up for ranked without an hour to spare because you don't know how long the game will last.

I understand shit happens. But failure to plan ahead is not an applicable excuse. In CSGO, I refuse to kick people who say they have to go. Rational adults plan around their schedules, if you fail to do so you need to accept the consequences of your actions.

Most of those people receive 7 day bans when they do abandon.

Bottom line is, just be a responsible adult for fucks sake. If you don't have the time, don't queue up.

More like 60min if you take into account the time it takes to get the game started.

if you have any less than an hour just play an aram or dont play at all. the games not going anywhere. the game dies slower during new exciting changes in preseason, it'll be here, for a few more years
