UPDATE: Had yet again a toxic top lane kennen who afkd at last team fights and then came back buying all tears and trolling. Thats the 6th promos ive lost because of trolls.

Hey Riot. Although this message is going to be negative I am doing it to improve this game and speak my mind. I'm COMPLETELY SICK AND TIRED of afks in ranked. I have gone through plat 3 promos FOUR times and had an afk in all of them. I then have an afk in the game putting me into promos (if i won it). I can't comprehend how you can let players who grind your game night and day wanting to climb elo lose like that. 1 person afks and immediately all your hard work goes to waste and you pay the consequences for them. Banning that player for a week doesn't bring my promos back or my LP. Fix this now I don't know what else to say. Sincerely, Śeventh

Had that happen in my Gold Promos. I had a free win, lost first 2 games due to top laner AFKing. Won one game easily, and then had another top lane AFK in the last game. I mean, what is that? The fact I can't win 4v5s as support Karma surely proves I shouldn't be in Gold. Luckily I made it in my next promo attempt, but that's just crazy that not only did I get one AFK in promo, but three.

AFKing needs to have more effects. I mean, like give them a long dodge timer penalty or something in addition to flagging their account. The game already X's out the person in the end game screen, so clearly the game can tell the person was AFK. Even with the benefit of the doubt that perhaps the person's internet died or they left cause a family member had a heartattack or something, then it shouldn't really hurt their account in the long run since it's not a common occurrence, but for the people who just ragequit cause "I just want to leave this lost game and play the next," it would prevent them from doing that.
