Still not sure to this very day why Riot cannot think of ways for option on afk.

It's just fken stupid how Riot can't think of a way to less the pain of a person who goes afk forcing us to play a 4v5.

Give us options for example -Give us control of team champion which we can multi task or if we die we can use that champion. -LET A BOT TAKE OVER, I'd rather play with a intermediate bot then 4v5 because with a BOT he can be useful by using his ult. -If a teammate is afk for over 10 min then distribute all his gold, <f**K that if the player comes back because you don't deserve the win if you leave a game for over 10 min and come back thinking everything is fine.

It's just a waste of time especially when a person afk 30-40 min into the game.

Don't try to defend Riot and say "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CODE THAT?" Well I clearly know that coding is hard but when the game is over 10 years old you sort of expect something that should had been thought of and worked on with a work force of over 10 worker and a 1 billion^ revenue.

I doubt even Faker could micro manage two champions at once.

No...no you wouldn't not, especially in anything past Silver elo, bots are so easy to abuse it isn't even funny.

-If a teammate is afk for over 10 min then distribute all his gold, <f**K that if the player comes back because you don't deserve the win if you leave a game for over 10 min and come back thinking everything is fine.

That would literally do nothing since they have no gold from being afk for 10 minutes.

It's just a waste of time especially when a person afk 30-40 min into the game.

Do you? I'm sorry, have you ever coded in your life? The reason there isn't a system in place is because there is no system that doesn't have its own problems.

Distributing gold could be abused or just flat out useless lol

It's not a coding issue. Your suggestions just suck.

It's because it is already possible to win a 4v5, and winning a 4v5 "with help" doesn't feel good for either team. If someone is ever in a situation where the 4v5 team receives help or a handicap of some sort, and then they win, you now have to address the possibility that the team with the afk might have lost with 5 players, but instead won with 4... meaning that the afk caused them to win a game they would have lost otherwise. It is really bad for the game if people think that is true even a small percent of the time—regardless of whether it happens even once—because then players would think that there is a potential slim benefit from a teammate going afk.

Intermediate bots? So free gold for the enemy? Great suggestion...

Or they could just do the most obvious thing there is, either allow remakes the whole game length, which only punishes the leaver, or negate the loss for the team with the 4v5 still giving the win to the other team. I mean honestly, just played a 4v5 Had the lead bot lane, got two towers, snowballed it to mid lane, then JG left and we lost all control of the map, along with the game after 20mins of dominating the other team.
