Low priority queue is flawed

Theiax·Feb 28, 2017·2 votes·959 views

I have to say, Riot way of punishing people for AFK or leaving is stupid and flawed...My connection disconnected a few times and my computer crashed a few times and I get put in low priority queue, what the hell? Also, there is no counter to tell you when you can even get out of low priority queue. So now everytime I want to play a game I have to sit next to my computer and wait for 10+ minutes. And in that time if I get disconnected or something happens where I missed the "Accept" when I'm actually in....I have to do the whole f__king thing over again. Who else has the same beef?!!!

It's up to you to keep your rig and connection healthy. Riot can't tell a difference between a DC and a ragequit.

Then riot should change how the punishment works....instead of forcing users to watch the computer constantly just to click "accept", 10 min is not alot of time to do much away from your computer...

LPQ is awesome.

Doesn't help that after leaving two matches in the span of a month you can sometimes get the 20 minute low priority. A friend of mine got it,and be aware it lasts for 5 games so that's an hour and 40 minutes of just waiting at your PC. you could finish up to 3 games and get up to like 230 IP in that time

How many games did he play that month? It's based on the number of games played, not how much time has passed.

Here's a simple example: If you play 10 games in a month and leave 2... That is 20%. It's most likely you will get LPQ. If you play 100 games and leave 2... That is 2% and you won't be hit with LPQ.
