Riot claims to balance the game's issues from pro play. Well if a pro player dc's or some how has a technical difficulty and is afk while game is active, THEY RESTART THE GAME! What good is this afk remake system when half of the afks take place after they rage quit half way through the game. Why not make it so the game is automatically a draw when someone afks? its more balanced and PRECISE like pro play.

Why this has YET to be implemented into the game? even if the restarts were annoying, Id rather save the LP and restart.

I mean... there is an abyss of differences between your example and the rest of the lol world. Exactly 0 pros will rage quit... also 0 pros will quit cuz they didn't calculate time right. Pros are an extremely poor example... because pros are pros, and then there is the rest of us. I bet even if a pro were to afk in a random game.... EVERYTHING WOULD BE THE SAME.

actually they pause it normally

the pro's go through the same thing to become pros. Outside of tournaments it happens as well

its a miniscule thing outside of lower elos. By lower I mean lower than pro play

that's why

The current model of the game fails to come to grips the player decision to accept defeat/forfeit match. That decision is inherent in games like chess, go, various card games and dice games. It is missing from some sports, such as American football, where the game can be over but the competitors are tasked with a charade of wrapping up.

Worst-case scenarios are in some of the older video games in the genres of RPG and 3X Space Conquest, where the player has won but is left with the boring chore of finding and killing that last mob/percent/whatever.
