so its RIOTS fault random people are AFKing?

GlowshtickSep 23, 20162 votes

No, but riot should be doing something about it. Something better, I mean. Something to keep us in the loop about players being dealt with. But what...

well riot wont ever release any information on how a player is punished etc

sadly you just gotta have faith....

all you can do is report and move on.

Spaceman5pffSep 23, 20162 votes

Here you go again with the pointless trigger-hunting.

oSEXYPLATYPUSoSep 23, 20161 votes

not trigger hunting... the OP is saying riot does nothing about afks and his complaint that during his promos that they should be dealt with more firmly then any other afk. he blames riot for the afk happening.... riot dont control the afk... they cant control the individual who afks... they only recourse is the leave buster system and to report for afk... and it has been flagged because said player afked enough times then riot will handle how they see fit. telling him that riot isnt gonna release info on how they deal with a player through punishment isnt trigger hunting... riot just wont do it. their stance if you know a player did X then they got Y punishment that everytime you report some1 for X you know they get Y you might troll report to just make sure someone gets Y. riot is trying to prevent that from happening. so telling him he has to have faith in the system and report and move on. is the only thing he can do. its out of his control

they need to permaban afkers after few afks. but they won't.

HyperiönSep 23, 20162 votes

Until you have to go afk one day because an emergency or something, then you get pmerma banned and whine on the forums about how unfair it is.

All they need to do is make it so you drop down to 0lp when you afk.

MunchCrunchLunchSep 23, 20162 votes

i dont afk 5 times a week because i got 5 EMERGENCIES A WEEK.

look. i've played. over. one thousand. ranked games. one thousand. not one time. i went afk.

HyperiönSep 23, 20161 votes

I am in the same boat as you, i have like 1500 ranked games under my belt since I started playing. I too, never went afk during ranked.

But you never know that some day something might come up.

MunchCrunchLunchSep 23, 20166 votes

yes. but am not asking. for people to get banned. for 1 afk. when its often. then yes. ban them. thats a pattern.

HyperiönSep 23, 20161 votes

Oh, im not saying after 1 time, i agree it should be after a repeated pattern.

Supreme Senpai69Sep 23, 20162 votes

One AFK ruins 4 games though, and if it's during promos, it ruins even more (since now you need to get back to your series.) Internet goes out and emergencies happen don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't take more than a few AFKs to be banned. I've only AFK'd once (ranked and normals combined) because a 3 man premade trolled the game but wouldn't let us surrender.

Spaceman5pffSep 23, 20163 votes

My. Favorite is. When peo. ple. talk like. this.

EDIT: I Almost Like It As Much As When People Type Like This.

Mojihito666Sep 23, 20161 votes

There is this awesome problem with lol client crashing randomly and not letting you back for some reason ....

FabricSep 23, 20162 votes

I failed 5 promos (and waiting for the next one) in a row to d4. In each one I had at least one afk or troll :D FeelsGoodMan

No Yellow NorcoSep 23, 20162 votes

Afks aren't a problem. If you deserve to advance, you will.

FabricSep 23, 20169 votes

I rly hope this is a joke?

No Yellow NorcoSep 23, 20165 votes

I don't know, whenever a lower elo player complains about afks and trolls, they get flocked with the downvotes and "git gud" comments. Everyone tells them that they are just bad and if they were good, they would climb. Just kind of figured it would also apply here, no?

(But yes, I was being facetious if my last comment didn't make that apparent.)

Awesomedude8888Sep 23, 20161 votes

Being 1-2 divisions better than where you are right now does not mean you can solo carry 4v5.

mason waterSep 23, 20162 votes

if you block people afk and trolls arnt a problem...

Top x MidSep 23, 20161 votes

Some things just aren't meant to be I guess.

GlowshtickSep 23, 20161 votes

You must be so frustrated. Just remember buddy, these moments don't define you. It's when you get back up and kick some @ss ( Galio ) that makes you a champion. You're frekin platinum dude, go get that next rank like the boss you are.

This time for sure [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Chamuel85Sep 23, 20161 votes

I was about to get into Gold, then every game was my team full of silvers, their team full of platinum for 8 games straight. it was good!

Awesomedude8888Sep 23, 20162 votes

You probably have high gold MMR. That is probably a good thing, considering that you're actually better than a good chunk of gold players even though your LP rank says otherwise.

Chamuel85Sep 23, 20161 votes

Thanks! I mean it sucked losing 8 times when I was so close to those sweet sweet gold rewards, but facing stronger opponents definitely helps you learn.

VallalanSep 23, 20161 votes

everytime I see these posts. I picture the mind of the OP. they are picturing this guy at riot who has a furled mustache and just sits behind a desk while ragtime piano music plays in the background:

"hehehehe, Oz Hooky has reached his plat 3 promos again, time to give him an afk!"

and then he laughs insanely while pushing a button that says "fuck shit up"

and it sound an alarm. then a young Riot intern comes in and says "you called me?"

"yes yes, Oz Hooky is in his promos for plat 3 again, you know what to do my humble servant"

"lll...ill get right on it sir. shall I just afk? or run it down mid?"

"just an afk this time, next time you run it down mid and place sighstone wards under their tower"

then as the intern leaves the riot employee sees another player about to hit their Silver V promos.

"ahhh yes....Vag Blast3r, looks like you are in for a bad case of ping spikes this game"

FioraWillCarrySep 23, 20161 votes

Punishment is not the solution for the problem of AFKs. I've said it before, a more practical solution would be to allow players who aren't in a game to replace and continue the game for the AFKed person. A nice little queue where it shows a list of games with AFK players, what champs they are playing, items they have, the current score, turrets lost etc.

Punishment NEVER solved anything. Punishment as a solution to problems is a lazy way of thinking.

SanctimoniousSep 23, 20161 votes

Welcome to elo heaven. Enjoy your stay! This elo features mentally challenged ragers, 0/15 side lanes, Free farming Rammuses, and a 4v5 challenge mode spectacular! But wait, there's more! The closer to diamond 5 you get, the higher the chance of one of these spectacular game modes happening triples! That's right, Triples! It's like a 3 for 1 deal that you'ed only ever want if you were a masochist.

MelledoneusSep 23, 20161 votes

Not to be rude, but how the hell is that Riot's fault? It sucks to have bad luck, but it's not Riot's fault some people are inconveniently assholes or faced with a crisis in your games. I wish you the best and that you get to Plat 3 after all your hard work, but it's kind of unfair to just blame Riot for people leaving your games instead of proposing a change.

Awesomedude8888Sep 23, 20161 votes

Pretty sure that OP's point is that he wants Riot to do something about all the AFKs in his promos.

Awesomedude8888Sep 23, 20161 votes

This is why we need a "mercy system" for teams with an AFK.

NoblewindSep 23, 20161 votes

That's straight up bad luck. I play in a lower, more clown fiesta elo than plat and in over 500 games probably haven't had 9afk's on my teams. All season.
You could be lying, at least in what you would determine an AFK to be. Are these true random bye! sit in fountain afk's we're talking or just teammates who fed hard and got salty?
In my opinion we just need a punishment system that keeps consistent offenders out of ranked. Be it lag, not finishing games purposely, hard trolling, etc. Force these players to play blind pick or a separate queue or something for 3 wins before they can do ranked again.

i just installed the game 2 months ago, i read all i could, even 2v1 i win my lane most of the time too and roam to help, still i ALWAYS get the reksai mid , garen jg, yi top etc that feed 0-10 before min 10 , or afk, every single time i have promotion i get an AFK everysingle time...... i never played a game that was sooo frustrating to play competitive, it is virtually imposible for new players to rank up.. every game,i get ALWAYS bronze 4 -5 vs silver 3 -4 but when the team fights come we cannot win with an AFK.. i never seen a game that puts you in a handicap everysingle time you try to progress.... i absolutly NEVER ever have a favorable MMR team ever.. i check evrey single time too, i always have the feeding, afk how come it never works the other way? how come its ALWAYS me that gets the 0-10 team, with 1 AFK?, i play with any random person , and i start beating everysingle team 17-4 , 18-3 etc... just because i dont have a feeding team mate.. it helps me win games, otherwise its 100% feeding teams.

People keep saying you can carry your self out, yet i have prove screen shoots etc that this isnt true.. even if you crush your lane, i still lose the majority of the games regardless of trying to communicate or play as a team, people actually get more mad if you try to communicate.... and meanwhile im still in BRONZE... the worst league possible, winning everysingle game i dont have AFK by large margins with few deaths.. still its irrelevant cause i cant win more than 50% unless i team up everysingle game with someone that doesnt feed 20times a game..
