Every game 4v5
RITO PLEZ.
No seriously though. Something needs to happen with these ranked games loses. I've played 7 ranked matches so far this season. Of the seven games, FOUR of them were 4v5, with my team lacking a player. One of those four games we managed to win. But still, Its so incredibly unfair when I play well, and my team isn't even bad. But we are down a person so we lose. I understand DOTA has a lose prevention program for such games like that. For being such a successful company and you seriously do so many great things, but that is a major flaw. There has to be something that can be done to prevent this. Even if it means just auto ending the game if one of your players never connects.
Please people don't rant at me telling me to play better either, or to carry harder. I'm not complaining about losing in general, just in these type of unfair situations. This is an esport. In every other sport if one of the players isn't able to make it, the ref's and organization in charge of the game don't just say "oh well, better try extra hard to win" There should be something along the lines of just ending the game and not counting it towards either team, or letting someone else in Q "Fill" your open spot. Anything please.
Any other types of suggestions you guys can leave in the comments, Id love to discuss this and get this to the attention of Riot (although I know a couple thousand people with other threads like this).
