Is it wrong to AFK in ranked and come back explaining you had to take a shit?

ryona··2 votes·803 views

Basically, if you're in the middle of a ranked game and you feel the urge to take a shit, what's wrong with going to the restroom and coming back ten minutes later? It boggles my mind how mad people can get over something like this.

Your team doesn't know that, though. And likely will not believe your "but I had to take a shit" excuse, lol

Some people have already made good recommendations in this thread.

My personal favorite is: wear a diaper

I'm not really joking though and am looking for a serious response.

Lmao, literally don't queue for ranked if you're going to afk. Doesn't matter how genuine your excuse is, your team will report you for going afk longer than a minute.

So either learn how to take rocket shits, go to the bathroom before queueing, or hold it.

It is a serious response. If you can’t manage your bowels like an adult wear a diaper.

Sorry, but regarding competitive gamemodes, diapers are mandatory.

Nature calls when nature calls.

However, with games lasting like 20-30 minutes maybe, you're gone for a huge percentage of the game. During which you're effectively crippling your team as you're not providing pressure in your lane or via the jungle. You're coming back as a non player essentially since you're behind in everything like xp and items.

It's understandably frustrating for teammates that you abandoned them mid match. You return yes. However, that doesn't detract from the fact that you abandoned them for a good 50% to 33% of the game.

My suggestion is to understand that your team being frustrated is expected, and that you had to take care of your needs is expected as well. It is just one game, but like people have mentioned try to plan around it so you're not doing it every time you play. There is a reason that most of the time 4v5's are lost.

A final thought about what you can do... don't take 10 minute craps. Not sure how to go about this one, but it definitely does not take me 10 minutes to poop.

Well you would've missed out on 10 minutes of experience, CS, and objectives and effectively made the game a 4v5. I mean instead of potentially screwing up a game, you could just do it before queuing up for a game.

but you come back it's not like you left for good

"it's not like you left for good."

towers are gone, Jungle has to sit in your lane to stop the push, your teammates get ganked repeatedly because Jungle can't help them... you come back into a 4v5 and the enemy has at least one member who's been effectively allowed to free farm.

This exact thing happened to me in a ranked game yesterday. No warning whatsoever. When the Jax returned, he apologized. That was the turning point of the game and the rest pretty much went down the drain with the crap. It was in my placement games too. Thanks pooping Jax! [zombie-brand-facepalm]
