Can we just scrap /remake all together?

I've been burned 4 times this week with remake alone. Just get rid of it. It just gives me false hope. It doesn't work. The game knows people are dc'd and could give a fuck.

I can't tell what part of the remake you're feeling burned by.

If you're the one DC'd/AFK, I don't get why it'd give you false hope.

If you're on the team of the DC/AFK, then you should be thrilled that it exists, because you now get to keep your LP/MMR that were otherwise all but forfeit due to the 4v5 (or an eventual 5v5 with fairly big disadvantage).

If you're on the opposing team, then you shouldn't expect to get free wins, nor would they necessarily be in your interests. If you're better than your current mmr would suggest, you'll win legit 5v5's and rise anyway, and if you're not, then free wins would bump your mmr into territory where you will get beaten. (Also keep in mind people tend to play sloppy when they know a remake is coming, so just because you were winning in the first 3 minutes doesn't imply you'd actually have won that lane if they didn't have an AFK.)

I never AFK/DC.

But it's a problem with other teammates in 20%-30% of my games. The issue is it doesn't work. Out of the 20% of the time there is a DC, it might work 1/3rd of the time, so around 7%. Barely useful.

I think you must have had some fluke. It's worked pretty much every time for me.

Also, 33% by your stats. You don't get to count the times a feature isn't needed as it not working.

Well it saves me in some of my times of need... I like it tbh.

I'd like it if it actually works. If someone is dc'ing already in the first 3 minutes, the game needs to be remade. My game just got fucked as our top was AFK for 5-10 minutes, forcing me to go top. He comes back, before he even makes it back he complains about me getting cs. Then he proceeds to feed away as a GP proceeds to zone us out and crit strike us to victory. He stayed away so long that I had time for an item and since I thought he was gone, I bought statik shiv. When I went back into the jungle, it was with no updated jg item and it was useless.

Had one game where my team refused to remake despite us having a dc. Then they got mad when I got mad at them for it. So they didn't want 5v5 or they woulda remade, they didn't want 3v5 or they wouldn't have gotten mad. They wanted 4v5.

still, a half-working system is better than no system at all

So let me get this straight. You have been remade 4 times and had 1 game where it caused you to lose and 1 game where it didn't affect (darius game)

I mean thats pretty good stats all things considered. They prevented 4 games where you would have had an afk and would have had to waste 20 min and 20 lp instead of 5 extra min. Sure you lost one game because of it so its more like -5 lp per game instead of -20 lp.

Idk thats just my two cents.

I haven't mentioned Darius. Don't know where it came from.

The last 4 times games should have been remade they weren't. They were all losses.

And how exactly would removing /remake help those situations? You'd still lose those 4v5 games without even a chance to retry.

The blame goes to the players that keep losing connection in the first place. Remake doesn't fix all of those games, but up until it was implemented exactly zero of those games were fixed.
