Why isn't Riot protecting players from losses after someone in their team has gone afk. It's not the team's fault the someone has lost their connection, lights, or whatever.
People AFK over 15min should automatically be penalized, but still allowing the other to be defended. Other team gets their win, but losers are spared.
Any Dev reasons for this?
Arcane Azmadi1 votesYep. One reason.
Arcane Azmadi1 votesI'm completely serious, by the way. Riot very genuinely do not give even 1% of a fuck how many of your games get ruined by DCs and afks. Its not their fault, so it's not their problem. The problem has existed for 5+ years and the only thing they've done in that entire time to mitigate the issue is code champions of DC'd players to automatically walk back to the fountain. That is the absolute limit of what they can be assed to do.
siilentdeath1 votesin ranked they should be banning people from ranked for a day after the 1st time they afk. and the ban escalates as the player dose it time and time again. no resets either. the increase in the ban from ranked only gose up per the amount of times a player afks. so by 2 or 3 times players will stop doing it.
GroundRuleDouble1 votesThey already get put in leavebuster. The reason why you can't prevent the loss is because the system could be easily abused. Nothing will this will probably ever be implemented. The amount of afks per total games played is so small that it doesn't make a difference in your MMR.
