LEAVERS SUCK

Riondrius·1/27/2015, 5:58:50 PM·4 votes·1,434 views

Hello Riot! I like many summoners am enjoying climbing the familiar yet new ranked ladder, but unfortunately their is a plague of leavers ruining this experience for many of us! After suffering from a loss due to a leaver in my placement games and then again in my promos and then again as i climb up the ladder, i started to think about this issue in the game, that many of us have been dealing with for a long time. When a summoner leaves the game his team mates are stuck in a 4v5, this leaves them in an almost definite disadvantage and lets be honest a shitty unfair situation. This is without a doubt the WORST EXPERIENCE you will have playing League of Legends, and one we are all unfortunately familiar with. What a disheartening way to lose promos or to be placed low after placement, when you get repeatedly stuck in 4v5s lets be honest.. makes you not want to play this game. So how do we change this ? How can we make Ranked LEague of Legends a more Fun and Fair experience for all? 1 way is to punish those leavers.... which could potential be even more unfair, for the leaver could have experienced a dc, power outage, computer malfunction... etc I suggest a new que to help level the playing field and give Summoners across the Rift a more fun fair way to play ranked!! Introducing the Salvage Que, Salvage que would solo que a summoner to replace a ranked leaver, after the leaver is disconnected from the game from a specific amount of time (maybe 3 min... idk) they would be replaced with the new summoner from the salvage que. The new summoner would directly replace the old, on the same champion same lvl same score same items. Once your salvage que pops u would enter a team builder style display, it would show you your champion you select your masteries and runes and then after 30 sec enter loading screen and eventually the game. Salvage que would not affect a players ranked LP/Division and would help teach players how to come back and play safe in a losing situation! Extra IP a summoner icon or other forms of rewards would be a great way to encourage summoners to use Salvage que and help out your fellow summoners stuck in a 4v5 ( a shitty situation). PLZ RIOT ! Make ranked games a more Fun Fair experience for Summoners across the Rift !! TY For reading my ideas and i would love to hear others opinions and feedback!! summoner 13 summoner 13 summoner 13 summoner 13 summoner 13

Agreed, Riot has implemented harsher punishments for leavers before, but this doesn't help the players stuck in a 4v5 situation, and is potentially unfair for players who suffer from a dc or power outage. ALSO Summoners who vote No (or Yes), I respect your opinion and i would love if you could comment and explain why you would (not) want to see the addition of Salvage Que to League of Legends, for your opinion could help improve this concept and make it a more viable and fair addition to League of Legends

I support this 100%, I lost all of my LP due to many people AFK or leaving the game. It isn't fair for people who don't do it.

I think 99% of people with this mindset are either less than 15 years old, or have no life outside of this game. And I would gladly challenge all of the raging try-hards on this forum to a game any time, i'll be assembling a team of grown ass men that have other things that could possibly come up and require them to leave the game, and a few of the ez-ai characters, and of course myself. I'll give you a real reason to be butt-hurt, e.i., getting your miserable asses walked, in the only game/sport/talent?/thing in this world that you believe yourselves to be good at.

After more thought, thanks to The Paulrus pointing out a critical flaw in the Salvage Que, I think Salvage Que could not only help make League of Legends ranked games a more FUN and FAIR experience!! But ALSO be another way to encourage and reward Summoners with good behavior by only allowing players who have earned Santa Baron or other notable forms of good sportsmanship / player conduct to use the Salvage Que. AS well as only receiving large amounts of IP/ other rewards from successful salvage games, or in other words a Victory!!!

Key issue here is that without it affecting their LP/Division, you're more likely to get trolls who enter the salvage queue to blatantly throw games for a team, without any kind of recourse. I'd say have it give an IP bonus/summoner icon sure, but it definitely needs to have the risk/reward of a real ranked game to prevent trolls from just using it for the IP bonus and not giving 2 shits about the people playing the ranked match.

I just hope if something is implemented it acknowledges somehow people who did not leave on purpose. I never leave games intentionally and rarely have issues. I was in a promo this weekend and my power went out for a 10 seconds and then my lovely Comcast internet went insane for another 10 minutes trying to reconnect. Trust me...I was beyond livid because it makes me look like a leaver and I just got screwed on a game in my promos.

Good point ! Although no one would utilize Salvage Que if it affected their LP/Division because why would u enter a ranked game at a disadvantage and a game in progress and not be able to select your own champion?..... Hmmm so how would we be able to avoid the trolls queing for Salvage? Hmmm Maybe with stronger reporting penalties for summoners using the salvage que, Or maybe only Summoners with Santa Baron can use this que and be rewarded with IP and helping your fellow summoners stuck in a 4v5.
