Remake during a series... loses you your series?

SKT DoaD·Jun 25, 2016·72 votes·7,588 views

Last promo game! We had an afk, but no problem /remake is here to save the day! We, of course, use the command to end the game and I go to my profile to discover that the remake game was, I guess, counted as a loss? I was no longer in my series and was left at 81 LP. Is this a bug? Or is remake really just this cruel.

EDIT: It displayed I wasn't in promos and that I had 81 LP but I played another game and got promoted. I guess it was just a client-side visual bug because remake was just added.

I really hope this is a bug. The whole point of remake was that it doesn't negatively impact your ranking if someone else is not connected. There are some outliers, like if you are queued with the not connected player at higher ranks, you get penalized as well. Assuming this wasn't the case, it's kinda harsh that they didn't mention this in any of the information packages that were about the remake system.

Yup remake is trash like most Riot features these days. Wouldn't an automatic remake make a lot more sense. Okay someone didn't connect or get back into game, it's been 5 minutes. Remake. No vote, not first blood bullshit. Gg

I've won a 5v4. Our top laner DC'd and we all agreed not to vote it and actually made them surrender @ 20.

I like the vote, it isn't a terrible thing that they've implemented. It's better than no remake at all.

Similar. I had a game as Jungle Teemo where our ADC DC'ed during loading and our Support Leona kicked royal a55. I got a Pentakill as we rolled their team up bot lane after they failed to take dragon.

Usually it is easier and better with mage supports like Zyra Annie as they have an easier time farming in a 2v1 and scale pretty well with gold (it also depends a lot on the enemy support like defensive supports like Janna and Soraka makes it a lot easier to survive compared with like blitz or Leona)

Wow. Yeah everything Riot does is trash. You know...addressing an issue that we've been complaining about for YEARS is such a garbage move. Screw you Riot and your attempts to appease us! Damn you! Never will I admit that I'd rather not wait 20 minutes for a certain loss....because screw you Riot!

The first blood bullshit is a lie. I just firblooded a guy and after that enemy team /remake , no game. They did had an afk.

AazzlanoJun 25, 20163 votes

it only matters if the one who was first blooded/killed was the one who disconnected

There are those people that will never be happy no matter what Riot gives them.

Hey, I asked some guys from Player Support to look into it and got this;

It may have showed up as a loss for him, but the game never counted towards anything and he ended up getting promoted, actually The game where he went to 80 was a normal game where he lost That was the match where he played as Miss Fortune 8/10/12 There is a a visual bug that sometimes occurs upon a remake where players will see the game as a "loss" in the client. I believe that visual bug caused some confusion 😦

I'll update if I get more.

Remake is an early surrender right now.

AeszarckJun 25, 20163 votes

Did you stand around in the fountain waiting for remake to become available? I saw a reddit post that a guy did that when he got an afk (since he didn't want to risk first blood (this was before the change)) and he got marked for afk as well, thus resulting in the remake losing him his promotional.

Tfw I've played league for 4 years and didn't know there's a remake option...

Hello I am BirdJun 25, 20169 votes

It just came out either this patch or last patch, so don't worry ^_^

AlleoJun 25, 20163 votes

Oh, that's good then. I thought I had been completely oblivious.

DrCyanideJun 25, 20162 votes

As an interesting note, you technically lose LP like normal for each loss in promos, so being down 19 LP seems like it only factored in one game as a loss.

Riot sucks. That's old news.

SyveJun 25, 20161 votes

It is weird. Yesterday I played in a blind pick against a team which had a diana afk. We managed to first blood them and more than that it was like 4-0 and they used the comand even if it was already 5th minute. Like wtf, i thought it is not possible if someone dies or after 3rd min mark.

Deep Terror NamiJun 25, 20164 votes

The death(s) have to happen before the player dc's, so it'll still be valid if they were already gone. The vote for the remake would've started at the 3 minute mark, but if someone didn't cast their vote until the last second it could take a bit for the game to be remade (I'm not sure how long the vote timer is).

NegusInParisJun 25, 20161 votes

Why can't they just put you back in the queue if one person does not appear to be Losing into the game?

Cookimonster316Jun 25, 20162 votes

Because they might reconnect before 3 minutes

NegusInParisJun 26, 20161 votes

The minions enter the lane about 1.40-1.50. Losing 1 min of farming and EXP can lose you the lane (and perhaps even the game) on it's own.

Spagetti code. Do you really expect anything from Riot?

ElikainJun 25, 20161 votes

Diamond + tiers during a remake will still lose the match while all other tiers bellow that will not.

If they are in the dc'd player's premade.

AitikianJun 25, 20161 votes

I assume this feature is similar to taking a loss if you failed to pick a champion in champ select or if you fail to ban. Once in a series if you begin champ selection if you cause a game to be remade it's a loss.

I had a promo game where we had an afk and we couldn't even remake, because he kept connecting and disconnecting in base for the whole game

WimbledofyJun 25, 20161 votes

Probably a bug. I was in my promos and had a remake and it didn't count is as a loss for me.

Blue Moon WolfJun 25, 20161 votes

I'm pretty sure Riot said that /remake wasn't supposed to negatively affect your series, so this could very likely be a bug.

chipndip1Jun 25, 20161 votes

Didn't lose my series...I didn't get a strike at all when I did it...

JimmyyyJun 26, 20161 votes

When I was in series and I lost a game, went to my profile to see the one X out of the five, but it showed 85 lp. But, I was still in series. I think it is a common occurring bug nowadays to be shown the LP that you lost from the losses in your series instead of being shown that you are still in series. A way to get around it and see if you're in your series still is to press the 'Leagues' button on your profile.

SKT DoaDJun 26, 20161 votes

Yeah, I totally forgot about Leagues. But yeah you're right, I was in series still, just didn't show it on profile and stuff.
