FFS why is there no safe to leave function?

More people would rage quit if this happened. It would grant trolls more power over games than they already possess.

?? please elaborate. As it stands the current system forces 4 other people to suffer a 4v5 if someone ragequits on pain of being treated the same as the ragequitter by the leaverbuster system.

How? It reduces the power trolls have by allowing other players to walk away from the abusive situation.

The only way this could be abusive is if it was also extended to premade matches where one player takes the punishment so the rest of the team can get the loss forgiven.

The simple solution is to make it so that the "safe to leave" mechanic only effects solo Que.

But I learned many years ago that white knights like you just cant follow logic and require an appeal to authority to make an argument. I'm sure if riot implemented it you would be one of the loudest saying you knew it was needed.

abuseable

Explain, using logic, not what ever your favourite streamer said.

OP asks a question then down votes the honest answers.

I didn't downvote you before but I guess I will now.

The question was never answered, an unsubstantiated theory was offered and disproven.

Since it already happens now, in amounts great enough for players to ask for compensation, what leads you to believe it would happen more often?

The first player to afk would be punished as normal, the only difference is the rest of the team (who currently plays out the imbalanced match out if fear of punishment ) would have the option to leave with out facing the punishments.

The other players would still have their mmr and ranked effected by the loss, but they wouldn't need to wait a half hour before starting a new one.

Basically you seem to think this would increase the number of afks, but have no way to actually argue that it would.

Ffs, other successful games across the genre have implemented this. Why does it suddenly "not work" here even though dota has been using it for years?

When you say safe-to-leave, do you just mean that you won't be punished for leaving the game?

That is, MMR and LP reductions would still apply as normal and you just wouldn't have to play out the 4v5.

That's what safe-to-leave means.
