Players go Afk, Team Suffers.

MightiestKiwi·Jul 8, 2017·1 votes·215 views

So, is there a reason why a team must suffer for the actions of one player or more? As I can tell I lose pretty much the same points for my rank matches when a teammate decides to call it quits early or afks for whatever reason. Why don't we have a system that when a player is detected to be afk for more than 10min. and/or quits the match for more than that amount of time it makes it so the loss of points for the team is by half or something like that? Is there a reason for this? Something I do not know about?

Yes, because this is (sadly) a teamgame, if one specific player runs it down mid or plays as though he has fetal alcohol syndrome your team will greatly suffer.

On topic though, I agree with your suggestion but wouldn't that make some players intentionally quit a 100% lost game so their teammates lose less ip, say if they're duoing with a friend?

Unless you also suggest that quitters lose extra LP but that would be brutal for those who legitimately have technical issues/real life emergencies.

Meh, it's unfortunate but not much can be done about it.
