afks and ways to balance ranked

tarpanrahl··7 votes·677 views

Afks should null the loss for the for the team with the afk for eveyone but the afk player. The the winning team without the afk should still get the win counted. It is just plain stupid that rito wont implement this feature. You are actually handicapping your fan base in low tier ranked game from the amount of afks a player experinces. it is just wrong that a player should have to win a handicapped game to not have a loss because someone had bad internet or had to go to bed or fricking had a heart attack. I am not saying that afks should not be punished, just not the people who are stuck with afk teammates. If u afk after someone else does it should still be punished in a fair manner. You can still win a handicapped game it just so much harder. something has to be done about this unfair system rito has in ranked games regarding afks and the fact that someone can ruin a players whole time with this game buy simply not playing. please rito adress this issue.

First of all your not wrong HOWEVER

  1. you assume that riot cares.
  2. Other Moba's have addressed this. EX. Dota have it set to where if people get an afker and they don't connect in the first 5 min you can leave the game no penalty. <---- This mean that your time ( which in my opinion is more important than money) is respected.
  3. Riot alleged stats (which i cant find the reference) saying you will get an afker ever 10 games? something like that so its not an important issue to them
  4. other thing people have said laready

Pretty much this. Yes, it's an insanely obvious fix for an insanely massive problem. No, it's not going to happen because Riot genuinely don't give a fuck.

People have been saying this for a long time. Just don't take the LP from the afkers team. But still, riot won't do it, cuz it somehow "breaks" the elo system.

It could be abused lol. You could have people duo with you and when the games go south they afk.... It would be a way to cheat promo's

You can't do that. There could be times when the other person actually DC's because who knows a power outage in "x-place", ect.

Why not? In the current system if he REALLY DCs he still loses LP along with his whole team.

I see no harm in only giving the loss to the one who DC.

I was talking about if your duo partner DC'd it would also effect you.

Yeah, because 4 players losing LP and wasting their time and effort because 1 guy decided to be a douchebag isn't abusive at ALL.

Lesser of 2 evils, mate.
