I love that after 5 years of ranked in this game...

You still have to wait 20 minutes to surrender a game where two people have AFK'd from the start.

There's still no relief for those people who have to wait through these games.

You still lose the same amount of LP for losing because of that.

And that the community is such jaded assholes that instead of thinking "We should end this game as quickly as we can so the enemy team doesn't have to deal with it forever" they think "This is a perfect way to pad my KDA like a massive fuckwad. Let me just draw out the game and keep trying to laser kill the enemies in their fountain while not pushing anymore."

How the absolute mother fuck have you not done a single goddamn thing about this, Riot? Even fucking DoTA2 has a system in place just to make this kind of shit as painless as possible. How are you so goddamn behind that DoTA2 is more progressive than you?

Edit: Reading this, yes I can see it's a very abrasive, tactless, and vulgar post.

In my defense, though, the remaining two players and I had to spend 10 goddamn minutes trying to convince the enemy team to push in mid and end the game as fast as possible while trying to dodge your stupid ass leaving penalty on top of them actively using our necessity to leave the spawn as a hunting game for themselves to try and dive us under turret every single time. So no I'm not sorry, and fuck you fix your damn problem.

We're working a feature that allows players to restart a game if a player fails to connect. No penalties for players except for the leaver/AFKer.

No ETA on when it's done, we're working on it along with the new Champ Select project.

"Players would abuse it!"

Oh no, someone can risk their account getting banned to prevent a friend from losing LP. I can see that being abused. Yep, I'm gonna grind 100 accounts to 30 or spends thousands of dollars buying accounts just for that. You got me, Riot.

Because its Riot. They seem to be slow when it comes to fixing big problems, but extremely fast when its a tiny problem like a word being misspelled.

Even in Riot believe their own delusions that softening LP losses for AFKers is some how abusable, there is no excuse for at least lifting the 20 minute surrender barrier when this happens.

Lift your game Riot this isn't good enough.

I agree with the vulgar post. Riot has taken way too long to deal with some of these issues of ranked. As far as surrender goes, I dont think it needs changed. But for afk's, I would suggest this.

1- If they are afk from start, game ends at 10 minutes. Team with afk gets out of loss, team that "won" gets ip for their time. 2- If the dc'ed person is gone for 10 minutes, same thing. Now i would suggest a TOTAL of 10 minutes, but i can see the case for a consectutive 10 minutes as well. So for ranked, if game is under 20 minutes for the the afk, "losing" team shouldnt be given ip, because they are getting out of lost lp. And the "winning" team shouldnt really gain lp, but its not their fault for afk so they should get ip as normal for their time. And any game OVER the 20 minutes, the "losing" team shouldnt have their time worth nothing, so they should be given ip, because the afk isnt their fault.

For each AFK the surrender vote should be reduced to 5 minutes. Up to a max of 10 min reduction

That's why I stopped playing ranked. They still can't do shit and all their focus are on skins/worlds/LC$ and destroying existent champions. And all they can say is : "It can be abused" So instead of finding a solution , its just : " it can be abused , we're too lazy to find a solution so go fuck yourselves and buy our skins".
I play a ranked game per month just to avoid ranked decay and HEAR ME on this one : 2 months so only 2 games. In both of them I had a rager in champ select , both disconnected during the game for a few minutes. No, i dont want to cope up with that shit and you shouldn't either. Its just not worth the stress and effort. for what? For a shitty reworked badge with anal beads on it and a crappy Skin? PS. I expect another RP price increase for the rest of the world coming up with 2016

I like the DotA system, and I feel like the problems it brings are smoothed over by Riot's leaver-buster (read: poor connection SWAT team).

I completely agree. Just because people consider the post:"Abrasive and Vulgar" doesn't diminish the points made here in the slightest. People get WAY too hung up on things like instead of the actual issue at hand. I REALLY hope this gets dealt with soon, too many series lost because of this.

Never apologize for calling out Rito's bullshit. Stick to your guns.

Appreciate Lyte's input and the fact that Riot is apparently doing something, but imo a restart of the game for a Dc/Afk isn't the answer.

The last thing I'd want to do is wait for 15-30 minutes for this new implemented tool to kick in, then have to restart with this same player on my team only to have to go through it again. If a teammate has an unstable internet to the tune that they keep dc'ing and reconnecting repeatedly, then just let us out of the match with no LP loss so we can move on with our lives and find 4 others who can actually connect to a match.

But, only yesterday the client crashed during loading screen TWICE. Had to quit and restart to get into the game again. It's bad enough I get warnings for leaving the game, when I am not actually leaving, but trying to get in, if we're going to get even more punished. Last time I got pissed, because I was stuck in "attempting to reconnect" for more than five minutes, so had to try and turn the whole thing off. Got back in the game, but then afterwards popped up the leaverbuster warning! It pissed me off, because it was going fine the first 5 min, my internet connection is perfect (I checked it, was working fine, it was the damn client) and there the whole thing crashes and I get a warning for it, like I messed up on purpose :(
