AFK LeaverBuster - - - - - Needs to change

m1i2k3e·Oct 15, 2015·2 votes·286 views

The AFK Leaverbuster has recently showed me the failure in its design. It doesn't take into consideration whether the person returns to the game or not, or even if the team with the AFK lost the match. "AFK results in a negative experience for your teammates," who said that this is true? I left my computer to go open a door for a family member, i come back and found that i got kicked and later found out that i have a 20 min leaver buster even though i came back to the game and we still won easy. I never leave on purpose and i never post to discussions but this is crazy. I play ARAM and I have to wait 20 minutes to play a 17 minute game? Wtf is that bull?

This is working as intended. You may want all these things to be forgiven because it would benefit you personally. You are on 20 minute low priority queue so this obviously isn't an isolated incident. It sounds like you need to put more effort into considering when you will have enough uninterrupted time to play.

but my teammates never experienced the negative impact, i have not said anything for a while just checking the leaver buster to see how it worked, and as i can see it doesn't account for teams that win or even people that leave closer to the end of the game, it needs to be re looked at because it is a flawed design besides that i think it works fine.

Why should it account for a win or loss? People winning or losing in spite of their missing team mate the result is the same; you were gone. Period, end of story, done. You weren't in the game, you were punished.

But i returned to the game within 7 minutes and i still got a disciplinary action, if i wanted to be a jackass i could make 10 accounts and then go afk for each account within an hour or 2, but obviously that wasn't my intention so why should me or anyone else for that matter be punished for coming back to the game that they didn't even leave, because i got kicked by league of legends, so who's fault is it really?

Why should I have to carry a team while some people leaves to go make a sammich, or take a poop, or grab a soda? Don't queue for a game if you can't stay. If you're at a 20 minute wait this isn't the first fifth or tenth time you were disconnected.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose. Its not about whether the game as a whole was positive or negative. It is whether or not your actions made it more positive or more negative. In this case, they clearly made it more negative.

More importantly afk punishments aren't just about the games you already left. Its about reducing the rate you leave in the future.

tommyagun (NA) - 30 minutes ago I know it is sad how it works. It needs to be program better if they are going to use it or go back to using humans. I wish they would come up with a troll buster instead.
