Give them massive props and love in this thread. They get alot of hate so at least give them massive love when they do something like this.
Seriously, what the fuck guys? All the comments are about how this can be abused and how dynamic queue is ruining the game (off topic much??) This is literally what everybody has been bitching about for months. They listened to the community! This is what you all wanted!! Thank you Riot, for listening to the feedback on the boards, and ignore all the ungrateful posts because they don't reflect how the entire community feels.
Yes, remakes in ranked games is a good thing when the missing player never connects.
"Typing the comment "/remake" in chat will trigger the vote but things don't appear to be fully hooked up yet. From the strings, seems like teams will be able to vote to remake the game if a player never connects to the game after champion select and no players are killed in-game.
First blood 1:45
All I see is another distraction so they can keep solo queue away from us.
I just hope it will not punish players who connect after 30-60 seconds because of glitches in the client etc
A summoner has disconnected.
Omg, he left! We're so lucky...
I know right? They have 2 plats and a diamond, there is no way we could win this.
Not to mention they have countered most of our champions.
Well, GG guys, I'm pressing /remake. Press yes, alright?
Alright!
Pressing it.

A summoner has disconnected.

Can we have ANY post that doesn't get taken over by dynamic que!?!
Although this definitely in the right direction and I applaud them for that, I have a few problems/issues with it:
The time the AFK system activates is during (and only) the beginning of the game, this is problematic because these people who AFK in the beginning of the games like this are most likely experiencing computer/internet difficulties, and want to join the game as soon as possible. This has even happened to myself, as I was pema-stuck in the loading screen for 4 min and joined well after the game was started (mac bugs op). Only punishing these people at 1-5 min start of the game is pointless, as they find themselves responsible (they are the only person to get the loss) for Riot's bugs and their own Internet complications.
The fact that you can not use this system after first blood is drawn is also a major drawback. The majority of "problem" AFK's occur after the start of the game where a person(s) feeds (intentionally or not) and goes AFK for the rest of the game. The fact that this system does not cover this is also problematic, because this was one of the main reasons WHY we needed a AFK system in the first place.
Other things to consider is the fact that the current AFK system is relatively hard to abuse, you have to give it that. However, that does not downplay the other issues it has (as stated above). Furthermore, to prevent innocent players from being punished/people abusing it, a system similar to the Tribunal system could be put in place in which (chat logs/game statistics/who is qued together), would be analyzed and a punishment would be handed out accordingly. I believe that if a AFK system would be put in place in which it would be triggered when a player(s) have been AFK for 5 or more minutes regardless of its the beginning - end of the game, would be far more efficient, and if a tribunal-like system was paired up with it.
Look, I'm glad they're adding this, but let's be frank.
This is like four seasons late to the party.
Easily the best thing they've done this season.
Its a fantastic bit of groundwork and there remains opportunity to improve further on it. That being said, thank you Riot this is Freaking awesome, very much obliged!
About time! Good job Riot! 10/10 :)
Only seven years late! Good job!
The only fault in that system is that they punish the disconnected player with a loss.
In my experience most of those disonnects happen because Riot's load screen crashed and people have to reload the game. Thy shouldn't be punished for that.
/remake should actualy remake the game so that the missing guy can say "yup stil here, still trying" so that the game can start again properly.
they will wait till the required time then afk
