I'd like to thank Riot for my second demotion in a row due to AFK's

Just so nice to have the most kills, most cs, get harassed for my build and still almost win a 4v5 game and then get demoted for my efforts. And then get to hear the enemy team brag about their 4v5 win!

Complete waste of my time, energy and care. This game is an unfair piece of shit. The fact that anyone could possibly think this is acceptable is unbelievable.

Statistically the enemy team will get an AFK the same number of times as you. No, your anecdotes do not compare against logic and reason, sorry. Even then riot has no control over your matchmaking aside from the MMR of the people you are placed with.

you are just a salty person who isn't actually good enough to climb by them self.

That is no longer correct with this thing called "Dynamic Q". A good DQ team has a 99% chance(not 100% in case of a storm or something) of no AFK's or trolls due to selecting good people to play with, while a solo player always has an 80% chance of a troll/afk. My DQ teams never had any behavior problems/AFK's with a full squad.

I've reached my highest rankings in both duo and solo Q this year, so suck my Doritos Nacho Picoso flavored farts.

So your response is "DQ makes it so that i always get placed with an AFK" Fucking amazing.

To your incorrect stat, yes. And this didn't include 2, 3 or 4 man premades either.

I've been promoted/demoted many times.

I am fucking amazed at your incredible lack of intelligence. This isn't worth my limited time.

It's a good diversion from your refusal to acknowledge anything. Flame on.

Anecdotal....

No. The FACT that 4 people can loose a game because someone afk'ed in it is a flaw.

Please describe a way for that flaw to be fixed without causing other issues. I'll wait.

K.

If someone AFK's for a long period of time at a certain point into the game, the other team members get loss prevented. The afk'er looses the LP.

This can't happen in premades.

Someone can still "take one for the team" but...this is also true now lmao If a team gets a shitty team comp that has no way to win they can just afk at the start of the game so the others can remake.

Not much of a difference.

rekt.

Can't happen in premades you say? Well what happens when a premade bullies a solo player into raging and AFKing for the LP loss? (E.G. repeatedly abandoning them to die, flaming them after each death, spam pinging them, griefing, ETC) How do you fix that, hmm?

Then they'll get banned later on lul

Beyond the reason that their entire plan is contingent on the possibility this player afk's and it being an entirely different problem...

unless of course they grief in more subtle ways like leaving them to die, denying CS, KSing, denying them gold ETC. You can't detect that remotely.

The problem you are trying to solve only creates more. Need me to spell it out for you?

Lol you think you had it bad? I demoted to Gold 5 because I had not one, not two, I had EIGHT games in a row with an afk on my team. I stopped playing ranked after that.

If they aren't AFK they're feeding lol shout out to promo frustration everywhere

And in my game, they did both!

Blaming Riot for others shitty internet doesn't make much sense. All previous suggestions for afk loss prevention have been theoretically abused.

In short, deal with it. It happens to everyone.

I blame Riot for having no loss prevention like DOTA does and a shitty remake system that can't even recognize when a player is gone despite telling me they are disconnected.

All previous suggestions for afk loss prevention have been theoretically abused.

People have been abusing players by AFKing and trolling, so the system has been abused for 6 seasons now. Dota has no problems with this, so Riot can make it happen as well.

In short, deal with it. It happens to everyone.

Incorrect. A full dynamic Q team has a 99% chance of no afk's or trolls due to selecting teammates who don't afk or troll. Every person you Q with decreases your chances of an afk/troll by 20%.
