I'm so sick of losing because of these selfish players, so sick of being demoted in rank, Riot please...you need to put an end to this so that these people won't keep ruining everyones games. You should give a day long ban from ranked to anyone who's afk majority of the game..
If its deliberate and they say "fuck this ima afk"
But not for every afk. I've had a few games where client/server/internet conspire against me and I have a client reset or two plus computer reset to get back in a match, wasting like 20 min.
Real life happens.
They can just click and walk around at the fountain, and the system would detect that they're not "afking".

I think what Riot should really do is make it to where you lose no LP from a loss in a 4v5, and if you're in a series it doesn't count as a loss or win. Leaverbuster is already pretty harsh on AFKers in ranked.
I might get downvoted a lot, but I am just going to add my 2 cents to this discussion constructively:
I would agree with a 24 hour ban if, and only** IF**, Riot can determine the status of the player, whether it be AFK or simply has left the game.
If someone's game is not lauching for some reasons (DirectX unknown error comes to mind), internet crashing, power going off, etc. how do you manage that? How can you actually make sure the player has left the game/went AFK?
Don't get me wrong, I have been there, I have lost games to people going AFK and stuff, but yesterday I got my first game crash in YEARS and I left my friend solo ADC bottom lane while I spent near 35 mins patching the game, trying to reconnect. I got reported, had to click the "I agree" button stating I was not going to leave... Even though it was not my fault at all...
TL;DR: Yes for a 24 hours ban, ONLY if Riot finds a way to make a difference between a game crash and an actual on-puprpose AFKing/leaving player.
This game is literally no fun at all anymore ..Because if you dont get an afk or a troll in ranked you get someone who feeds 20 kills in 15 minutes ..
24 hour ban for people who "main" "jungle" and complain about others taking jungle camps.
Get a life, friend.
While people maliciously AFKing in Ranked of their own choice is an absolute shit thing to do, you trying to punish everyone for circumstances beyond their control -no.
Leaverbuster is shit as it is. Only the tryhards on perfect servers like the stupid thing. Making it worse will only make people more pissy, and you know where that leads?
Better a 4v5 than a 4v6.
Downvote away no-lifers.
i have had afks in 30% of my games this season. riot needs to act now about 30 games this season 9 games with afks. people also should stop playing this game on there mctoaster pc. also dont play ranked if your internet connection is on the fritz.
You want to make that player waste 20 minutes of his life being miserable just to lose anyway, and he's the selfish one? It's a game. When it makes you upset, you stop playing it.
Looks at ping
Well I know what mode I can't play.
Gonna be honest here, that would actually stop me from going afk on my smurfs. If someone bms me I always afk.
Honestly i would take it a step further. If you dc 3 times within 2 days in ranked only you should get a 48 hour ban from ranked
There already is. Lower priority que. When I have to wait 20 minutes just to play a game, it makes me make sure my connection is stable.
