Can people with a high rate of AFK get matched with other people with high AFK rates

That way, everyone will be happy because I can play my game in peace without interference and the habitual afkers can't complain about never seeing an AFK on the enemy team.

I'm curious, if 9 out 10 players get removed from a game for inactivity, does the 10th player automatically get a victory? If not, what happens when the 10th player gets removed for inactivity?

I see where your coming from, but then players would complain about being stuck there forever in a shitstorm cycle I guess the only way to get out is to improve.. (Not flame, never afk)

I think he's refereing to only afkers so that the odds of a 4v4 are higher. Putting flamers together is a terrible idea, stumbled across this link a while back, really interesting: http://gdcvault.com/play/1017940/The-Science-Behind-Shaping-Player

But then Riot would complain about having a prisoner's island that it doesn't want.

There is no prisoner's island. Incidentally, you should go play normal draft for a bit.

Similar idea was actually put into work some time ago. Under heavy wave of chat restrictions toxic players were thrown out into low priority que where they had to wait like 20 min for 1 game. It actually worked and players got less toxic.

Dunno why they scrapped this idea.

what are you talking about. It still exists. you afk 1 time in ranked and you get a 20 minute to queue up restriction for 5 games. I should know, I dc'ed in a game a month or so ago and got this restriction rofl.

they punish you much quicker for afking in ranked. Its like 5x quicker you afk 1 game and get punished almost immediately.

Vainglory has a system similar to this where afk'ing or lack of participation puts you into a lower priority queue.

I'd lmgtfy, but Riot has discussed this in at least a few blogs.

Players who afk, leave, ragequit, feed and leave in ranked shouldnt be put together. They shouldnt even be allowed to play. If you are an emotional wreck and cant take a comment or two from a teammate then you have some serious problems. It is text not spoken word you have no real way of distinguishing the tone in which a teammate is addressing you about something. If you cannot cooperate with your teammates and discuss things what is the point. Stay out of ranked. I know many people play ranked because the truly feel that they have some skill at this game and want to go further than just a few normal games. They are also under the impression that they will be on teams with like minded individuals.

If this was tldr please just understand one thing leavers afk's feeders are all toxic and bad for this game
