Plenty of people have consistently crap wifi, Fix your detection system for AFK'ers. It takes wayy longer now to detect someone who is afk and kick them from a game. Make the penalty harsher.
Riot has a pathetic set of programmers. Fix it.

Tentacle Advisor1 votesSo you want Riot to penalize players for not being able to afford highly-expensive powerful internet services?
I understand that losing a game to an afk'er can be (and, for the most part, is) pretty rough to recover from, but punishing people for not being particularly wealthy is not going to fix anything.
I do believe that the non-afk players should be able to get some type of compensation, if they lose since they were at a clear disadvantage. And, if they do somehow win, they (in my opinon) should get more of a reward for "winning with a crutch". That /remake system will do us all a big favor of allowing us to exit games "freely" if a player is afk before the game even starts, but for those games where people leave in the middle, I don't know what would be a feasible solution for that, as you can't truly punish a player for something that is completely out of their control.
iisabrina1 votesSimple answer to your question, Pair people with poor wifi/internet quality together.
Narvuntien1 votesI am not sure what you are asking riot to do about it.
People shouldn't go AFK in ranked games but sometimes things outside their control happen... like someone in my house turning on the microwave without me noticing them. Mothers of 12 yrs olds not realising you can't pause online video games, cats on keyboards, needing to go to the toilet really badly etc.
Dragfin1 votesIf you game on WiFi you are already doing it wrong and it's your fault. WiFi is not reliable with so many things that can go wrong. Argue all you want but Ethernet is the most reliable way to game. You want to stay WiFi then you need to be in the low priority que, period.
