AFK/DCing Causing 4v5 Games - Frustration.

SourApplez·Dec 8, 2014·4 votes·262 views

Tonight (and plenty of other days) I had 3 games in a row become a 4v5 round where we lost horribly. Does anyone else think Riot should implement an early surrender if a player is disconnected for more than 5 minutes so that the suffering team can choose whether or not they want to spend 20 minutes losing in frustration? I know that rarely the 4 player team can have a come back, but realistically I'm pretty sure losing takes the higher percentage in that scenario.

Reporting someone for their computer issues at the end of a game just isn't satisfying. It would be nice if we could just skip the whole 'getting our faces bashed in' for an entire game part.

Surrender should instantly become available as soon as the game is detected to be a 4v5.

Try reporting them doesn't matter if they had DC issues or afk'd, just do it.

I do report them. My point was more-so that it isn't satisfying. Having to spend 20 minutes losing a game and KNOWING you are going to lose is not enjoyable and just reporting them doesn't solve that. I just was wondering if other people agreed that Riot should make it so that you can choose to surrender when the game has become a 4v5 so your team doesn't have to suffer through a whole crappy game.

Whether or not you're satisfied is irrelevant.

Riot ALREADY has a system in the works to stop games that start as 4v5.

Well could they have it appear faster?

Software development is not nearly as simple as people like to think it is.
