If you start a game, could you please make sure you're able to finish it?

Alright, so this is a major problem that I see all the time and it gets extremely annoying for the rest of the team

IF YOU START A GAME, MAKE SURE YOU WON'T HAVE TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE

I was just playing a game where three, yes, THREE people had to leave in the middle of it, so we ended up just surrendering. The most annoying part was that we were winning by a significant amount of kills and objectives, and I guarantee that we would have won if those people didn't have to leave

But really, if you know there's a possibility that you're gonna have to leave 5, 10, or even 15 minutes into the game, why do you even bother starting a game? You should know damn well that most games tend to surpass 20 minutes at least, and usually last up to 40-50

Unless the enemy team is REALLY bad, or also has an afk, there is a slim chance that we're gonna be able to win, or even come close to winning a 4v5

So please, guys... If you know you might have to leave, don't make your team suffer because of it. Just don't start a game

i never quite understood why people think they can have a game thats 10 mins. In my opinion if you cannot commit at least an hour per match, just do not play! its common courtesy! Would you leave a basketball game? any sport game? i understand personal problems can happen, but if its happening too frequently i think it would be common sense to just not play during that time.

My thoughts exactly. It just doesn't make sense. You can leave other multiplayer games in the middle, like Battlefield, CoD, etc., but they need to understand this is something different. League REQUIRES teamwork, and if you're lacking teammates, you can't get the right amount of teamwork and it cripples the rest of the team

I understand people might be bored and have nothing else to do but play League, but that doesn't give you an excuse to do this. When I find myself in that situation, I just play a custom game to pass the time instead, so I actually CAN leave in the middle without affecting anyone else

Was this a Ranked match?

Yes: Sucks to be you. Good luck next time!

No: Get over it.

No, it wasn't a ranked match. And it doesn't matter

I play normal for fun, and it isn't fun when people have to leave in the middle of it, causing us to lose. So I'm not going to get over it, and I posted this to try and get the message to people who to this, and that message is DON'T DO IT.

I'm not one of those people who take League extremely seriously, but this is just downright annoying

"I'm not one of those people who take League extremely seriously." "this is just downright annoying." "And it doesn't matter."

Oh ok, so you're one of those people who instead of coming up with a valid and intelligent argument, you just quote what the other person said, alright

I see no point in arguing with you then, so good day

Thank God.

I didn't want to have to talk through a short bus window again.

Only person riding the short bus is you. Maybe that is why you don't understand anything that is being said or you are simply just a typical dime a dozen troll. I'm guessing both. You are a waste of time and I don't blame him at all because you say nothing intelligent.

I lost many games due to this. ONe person leaves and we lack a good front-liner or a backliner dealing less damage and losing in teamfights. They claim real life is more important than League, but if there was an appointment, you don't play League before that. SOme of us are trying to climb or have a good time but missing one as a team makes those of us left frustrated because we can do less.

games are like an hour long sometimes. stuff comes up. real life > video game. deal with it.

Lol when it happens to you, you'll be bitching about it too. I'll understand if the game's been going on for an hour and somebody has to leave, but fucking 15 minutes in? If you knew you'd have to leave soon, DON'T START A DAMN GAME

And I'm not gonna just deal with it. It's ridiculous. I'm sick of losing because people have really poor planning and timing. I don't care if it is normal

its frustrating I know. last week I had a guy say 'ive got to go in 10 mins' right after we loaded in.

you cant blame the players a lot of times though. life happens.

its riots fault. if they would put in replacement players people could leave and it would be no big deal. they are just too lazy to do it.
