AFK's

I was doing blind pick and someone called top, then another player insta-locked teemo and refused to cooperate. Because he didn't want to do duo top, he decided to wait until the game had started (in other words he waited for champion selection to end, giving us no means of escaping ) then he left the game. My team even held its own for the first 15 minutes, but we were doomed from the beginning, and we eventually surrendered at 28 minutes after what I think was a pretty valiant effort. But what is really disappointing is that Teemo single-handedly forced my entire team to played a doomed game.

I see all these posts about people hating on the new punishment system, it is what it is, I haven't had much experience with it up to this point so I reserve my opinion. But if this Teemo gets to walk away after wasting 30 minutes of 9 players' lives I will lose all faith in Riot justice system. Please, Rito, bring down the hammer on people who deserve it.

P.S. I don't use the boards much so I'm just posting this in miscellaneous because I don't know where else to post it. All responses and comments are much appreciated

I find a lot less afks in draft and so, as a result, that's all I do. That and because getting instantly counter picked makes for an intriguing challenge. Unfortunately, there are always going to be people that get happiness out of making others miserable and it's repulsive. Riot did recently change quite a few things, and for the trolls that do this, they can be in an excessively long queue for more than 20 minutes. They could also be chat restricted and do this out of rage (which doesn't help their case at all). I have to say in the month of December I have seen more afks/rage logs than I have the past year.

I hope you don't have this happen again. I always love the times it does though and you arise victorious despite only having 4 summoners.

New system is kinda annoying, a few games after it came out my laptop shut down, I REJOINED THE GAME and still got the 'I agree' prompt in the next 3 post-games.

But its completely justified. Personally I wonder how many AFKs are computer issues/real emergencies and how many are trolls/ragequits.
