Why do I have to reload a game if I'm afk for a few minutes?
How is this possibly something people think is a good idea. Let me walk riot through a scenario.
I'm in a close game at 1 in the morning. I'm a mid aka like who is carrying super hard. All of a sudden, my dog freaks out. Stars barking like crazy. Well, no matter what's going on in league, if my dog is freaking out at 1 in the morning, I gotta go check on him. Now let's say what he was barking about was something important, something that caused me to go afk for about 3-5 minutes.
Obviously, this puts my team at a significant disadvantage. But after that 5 minutes, I go to rejoin the game. I sit down at my computer, I look at the minimal and see that they are at our front turret, and I got back just in time to home guard in, rescue the team, clean up, and get us going again. It kinda messed us up, but I'm back now, so I can immediately jump in and help.
Oh wait...no I cant. Because I was afk for a few minutes, I am now required to reload the game before I continue playing.
WHY!!!!?
Why do that, riot? What in the holy assfuck makes you think that gives anybody a positive experience? Do you think I'm this scenario my team would have rather me disconnect and have to reload, causing me to be afk for another 3-5 minutes, or do you think they would want me to immediately rejoin the game? This is the stupidest concept I've ever heard of in a video game. I understand you don't want fakers to get credit for games, but why not just display a message saying that if they don't start playing again, they'll get a leave on their record? Do you have to force people to reload?
Additionally, the system is bugged right now. For whatever reason, I. Having technical issues atm. I get bug splats from time to time, and I'm dropping sometimes during the initial load. But for whatever reason, when I try to reload, the moment the game loads, I already have the"you have been disconnected for prolonged inactivity" message....right when I load! Do you really think forcing aa returning afk player to be afk for a longer period of time is a good thing? And why the fuck is this bug happenings? It ends up making me miss half of a game because it will happen 2-3 times in a row before I get back into a game.
