There's actually AFKers almost every game now

Not even just on my team, but on the enemy team as well. Almost every single fucking game has someone going afk and its just insta lose. Cant remake, they don't get any punishment, cant do anything about it. People that consistently go afk should be banned for 2 weeks because they don't deserve to be playing the game.

Definitely agree. I hate players who have a bad game and just leave in the middle of the game as if they aren't gonna suffer any consequences. Oh wait... Yeah they don't. Why? Because the most you get is a longer queue time that's about it, while you make everyone on your team lose.

I mean riot encourages going afk.

I've learned my lesson by now.

After another permaban with the worst thing i ever said in every chat restrict/ban instance calling people "s8 plats" im just either running it down or afking every game people annoy me. Makes things so much easier. Apparently it's super toxic and negative overall to ask people why they did "x instead of y". Can't even talk about the fuckin game itself anymore without being considered "toxic". So what's the point in this garbage ass game. Ruin the ranked ladder, permaban everyone who dares to disagree with his teammates. People running it down, afking every second game from low to high elo. The permaban before that was literally me only saying "go next" when our draven ran it down midlane in a game we actually won. Still have the screenshots from support telling me it's super negative to say go next. The fun thing is the game before i called our mf r%%%%% (after she insulted me) and asked if the r%%%%% triggered the ban, that i would atleast somewhat understand, nope support said it wasn't the r%%%%% but "go next" that was too negative to not ban me lmao.

this game and the company needs a 180 turn, if riot thinks a new game will be popular and sustainable seeing how riot manages their current ONLY GAME THEY HAVE is madness to put it simple.

people starting to realize that going afk / running it down is always a better alternative to saying bad words on this game, rito needs to start punishing trolls / afks or stop punishing people saying bad words.

riot turned the leaverbuster off because of the connection issues. obviously people found that out eventually, we arent idiot so people afk now.

Yep and Riot won't ban them because they still buy things.

My games don't load 30% of the time. Loading screen goes to 100% ping 22ms and then nothing.. nothing happens...

And when I realise I have to open task manager to terminate league? Reboot and reconnect.

Sometime up to 4 times just to get in the game. (Usually 2 or 3 reboots)

Not just me, cuzz as you say. If it's not me that is afk it's someone else's game that fails to connect. I don't understand how this worked fine 2 years ago and now they mess it up.

I logged in to play a few games today.

Game 1: https://i.imgur.com/ZkwOiFY.png[/img] Our Illaoi just runs it down top and we lose.

Game 2: https://i.imgur.com/qbpver5.png[/img] The enemy Soraka takes troll summoners feeds 2 kills then quits. Free win.

Welp I tried to play League of Legends, but it looks like League of Legends played me.

With the time I wasted playing these two low quality games I could of simply been in a longer queue time waiting for better quality match.

I remember when you left 1 time, got the warning and then, 5, 5 mins lower priority queues, going up until 2 hours if I remember correctly. Those were days that you coulnd't simply afk and get away with it

I have a bit of a story about how lax Riot is about afkers

A friend of mine I was playing with for a bit had a really shit computer and his game would freeze on the loading screen almost every game, we got into a few but during this time at LEAST 15 games were afked by him in the span of a few days, again not his fault his game was actually freezing up.

For at least 15 games almost in a row you know what he got? low priority queue. Which was nice for him since it wasn't his fault, but for people intentionally afking to ruin games all they'll have to do is sit in queue for a few minutes and theyre right back in to afk again.

We did find a fix to stop his computer from freezing though, we went into a custom game where he was actually able to load in and I had him set all graphical settings to the bare minimum and that fixed it, if anyone else is having the same issue.

I'm convinced at this point tonight 90% of the league base could get thanos snapped and nothing of value would be lost.

ZSneakydude8/16/2019, 6:53:26 PM2 votes

Hmm, i was reported just now as AFKer, leaver but in fact the whole game frozen at 80% loading and i guess they reported me being AFK. I was not i was trying to exit out of the game. It locked me even out of the task manager to end the task. I had to physically shut the machine down. 1 out of 10+ games. So make sure it isnt the loading errors people get.

I do go afk occassionally and i didnt got punished for it.

When my team is 20-2 kills behind and the enemy have 3 drakes 4 turrets and we got 0 (sounds extreme, get them every week, look my post history) I ask for surrender. But trolls will be trolls, so they vote no and then i'm out.

Zullar8/17/2019, 1:15:37 AM2 votes

They need to ban/punish AFKers more.

Here are the statistic of afk rate (remake exclued, someone is considered afk if he doesn't reconnect / move / leave fontain for 5 minutes) https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/rankings/afk-stats

As you can see, your title is pure exageration.

If the game is over by 15 and one teammate decides not to FF, I usually just leave. No need to waste my team with that.

FederationFurry8/16/2019, 5:47:08 PM1 votes

The game is bad, can you blame people for wanting to stay. Balance is so bad and there are so many bullshit one shots or unfair items that I don't really blame people for AFKing.

Reksee8/16/2019, 9:37:31 PM1 votes

And the worst part of it is, sometimes it's not even the AFK person's fault. Multiple time I've seen people not able to get into a match and happened to me in a ranked game.

I wrote a similar comment a few weeks ago. There's too many afk's happening.

Leaver buster claims to address this, but i seriously doubt they are actually doing anything about it, since none of these meaningless games amount to anything.

5050BS8/19/2019, 12:39:17 AM1 votes

The More Riot does not address MMing and the trash Ranked "System" The More people will not care about their accounts and so will Troll more and AFK more.

The state of the game is Riots Making.
