I just lost a game because my jhin went afk...

They should absolve all of us and allow us to keep our points, and make it so that jin has to give up all the LP we would have lost as a team to give to the other team.

AFKing is stupid, and should be punished to the highest degree, and this is one way it should be punished.

They should def absolve the LP loss

And then you'll have people going AFK so their team won't lose IP.

Knight Sky2 votes

well of course they'd put in place some kind of worthy punishment for AFK'ing and there should be a rule that if you que with them then you still get the lp loss cuz well, you chose to que with them, and someone would be less likly to afk for some random person

Still, I can see people super harassing people who are doing poorly in hopes that they'll AFK instead of treating them decently in hopes that they don't.

And thats probably true, the problem is that there is a big chunk of league players who are flat out toxic, same people thatll cuss up a storm in call of duty or something. But oh well i guess that comes with online gaming huh

Very likely, but that's where Riot need to take a no-tolerance stance on such behaviour.

Make people who try to harass others into ragequitting also lose 100 LP for it, for example.

... you know, I'd honestly be okay with players who lose only suffering half the penalty if one of their team was extremely toxic, and the toxic player getting all the extra loss. It would stop people being toxic pretty fast.

If you're the sole reason your team is losing, you should afk.

Right, just like how Dota 2 has an epidemic of players doing that.

Did you make a thread like this when you won a game because the enemy team had an afk?

Irrelevant, in the suggestion above the winning team still gains the LP, it all just comes from one source instead of all.

why, because I disconnected once? There was a storm outside. It obviously wasn't intentional, I cant control the weather.

Not our problem, oh wait, it is because u should have had ur internet in check and now we're losing for illegitimate reasons

ScissorsNstuff1 votes

yes, I need to be demoted because I couldn't predict some freak storm was going to put my internet out from 100 miles away.

My internet is fine, the provider simply decided to take drastic measures to restore everyone elses.

Thank goodess i'm just a smurf for boosting anyways. Actually this could be a nifty tool for changing my rank over and over. I can make plenty of cash on the Chinese-korean markets this way in fact.

A lot of the AFKs are people who are extremely toxic before leaving, and outright say that they are going AFK / ragequitting / leaving.

That stuff is not difficult to detect, and is inexcusable.

People sometimes have to leave due to an emergency, and that's fine. The current penalty is fine for them, though the other players really shouldn't lose LP for it. However, people who intentionally leave games on purpose because they are toxic deserve to take the entire loss of -100 LP for themselves.

which doesn't solve the game rigging problem that will be abused by for profit players and people who just want to help someone else for whatever reason. Additionally, anyone who has a bad game will be pressured and bullied into doing this on occasion via harassment and other bad behavior.

The more I think about this the worse the abuse cases get.

Nameless Voice1 votes

And that's why Riot haven't implemented it before now.

I don't think it's an unsolveable problem, though. If people pressure others and try to bully them into leaving, then the system just needs to be really harsh on that and apply really strict bans until people learn that they can't do it.

timmy: I want to play teemo mid

butch: eh this sucks

timmy: (first blood)

butch: better harass him so I don't lose lp drink bleach **** **** **** mother **** **** son of a ******

timmy: hates life but doesn't want to lose lp

Butch: (continues harassment and encourages the rest of the team to join in because timmy is a fucking feeder)

rest of team: (joins in to bully timmy)

timmy: mutes them all but now has to play league while feeling excluded and unwanted just because he gave first blood as some irrelevant non-ahri champ he wanted to play for some reason

Automated system kicks in during the game and first warns the other teammates that their behaviour is unacceptable. It also automatically blocks the harassing messages from being sent to the other players. If they continue, the system automatically applies a punishment to their account after the game. Timmy gets a partially-forgiven loss, while the harassing players get increased LP penalties.

The technology for all of this exists. It could be done.

Jimmy: guys stop picking on the guy

system: (sends false positive, jimmy gets banned)

Jimmy: omg what did I do

system: get rek'd jimmy

timmy: (becomes afraid of standing up for the right thing or even trying to enjoy teammates for fear of an automated system)
