4 Matches, 7 afks

Yeah. Played 4 matches and got 7 afks. 6 of them were all since from the loadscreen. Could we please make the match dodge if someone isn't connected since the loadscreen?

although I agree with how annoying it is, its been talked about before..

giving you a dodge because someone on your team DC has the potential to be exploited...and will be exploited to avoid matchups on the ranked scene , just too much potential to manipulate matchmaking like that

what they SHOULD do is what dota 2 does when someone dcs they give you one min to reconnect , if you don't , the game takes control of your character with a bot , and goes laning so at least if you reconnect you are not usless and your team isn't entirely a man down also teammates can click and control DC toons ,not use their gold or buy stuff but they can control them

I have actually been relieved and won games before when our 0-6 teammate 8 minutes in DCs. If a bot came in and started feeding even faster, I'm pretty sure I would ALT+F4.

Yes, I know that getting a dodge of a DC can be exploited IF it isn't done with the condition that the DC'ed NEVER connected to the game. The proposition is different of "BOOOO you feeder, piece of trash , quit so we can get a free dodge!". It would occur only if the player NEVER connected since launch. Air client, game begins, the player didn't connected until 1:55? Draw match and lp loss for the disconnected.

It is painful to pick a shaco jungle, counter jungle and kill the mid laner (3/0/0 in 6 minutes) and still lose because the game was a 3x5 and you couldn't handle two lanes AND the jungle because someone got a "firewall error" that riot NEVER seems to fix it.

I like the bot proposition, but only if the bot is Veigar. That guy is a beast!

In Dota if you leave other player's can control you (but usually won't). If you don't reconnect in 5 minutes and your dc before first blood the game is loss prevented and the game ends right then with "early abandon"

Noone would want a bot playing for a person in either game. It would just be free kills and worse than an afk.

I mean recently the sever sucks. Some of my friends disconnect after champ select and wont be able to reconnect . There must be a way to fix this. This has always been an issue since the beginning . Riot team should be smart enough to figure out the solution after all these years

The EllimiistDec 24, 20142 votes

Needs the early abandon system. If someone is afk for 5 minutes of the first 10 minutes and dc'ed before first blood. Game doesn't count and ends.

CaesarFlickermanDec 25, 20141 votes

+1 from me. I've started just straight up leaving games when someone doesn't connect after 10 minutes. It's unfair to the rest of the team, and I (and others) shouldn't be forced to power through it.

When the season ended, i faced a huge wave of afk players. Around 25-30 afk in 3 days ( (almost 20 games 4vs5) resulting in loss of 2 whole divisions.

Maybe they should enable loss forgiven or reduce the lost lp or just delete the game, i mean kind of, like whoever wants to stay stays whoever wants to leave leaves as the game will no more count as a ranked.... I n order this feature not to be exploited maybe they could introduce a vote to both teams... Or make the afk guy lose double lp (so no one would use it on purpose). Even this way they still have to repair the client ( too many random crashes, firewall blocks without reason ets). Don't think a bot is a good idea, still league of legends doesn't have any signs of difficult bots. How would that be possible? It's a game based on human factor.... In every aspect they have to do something for the afks in s5.....

"No because it would lead to toxicity. Being stuck in a hopeless 4v5 for 20 minutes with your LP on the line however is not toxic." -R

it's because of the firewall bug, I haven't been able to play a single pvp match since 4.21. Riot doesn't seem to care about sales during the holiday I guess.
