This just doesn't make sense. It should either wait a short period to see if they will connect, or just disban the game. 4v5 really sucks. If you don't want to do this, at least allow me to leave penalty free instead of waiting ~30 mins (you know you are going to get those, "we can do it guys!!" dumb dumbs that won't ff vote and just drag the game on, even though the score is 20-4).
Ionian2 votesDisband the game? In normals, sure. But in ranked, don't you see how this could be exploited?
LaceUp233 votesThey are supposed to give a penalty now for the person that afks. Keep that penalty for them, but don't make the others suffer.
Katsuya Rose1 votesI totally agree to this.
Koboyawaka2 votesthey already do they usually wait about 5 mins if someone is not connected to see if they reconnect
LaceUp231 votesI've never had a 5 min loading screen. If there is a long one, it is because someone is slowing loading, never for afk. If we have afk, it loads normally and then pops me into a game once everyone that is connected hits 100%.
Koboyawaka6 votessometimes even when everyone is at 100% we are still stuck there for a additinal 3-5mins
LaceUp231 votesThat's because they aren't fully loaded. How long do you sit at the screen when there is no picture? I surely don't sit any longer.

psa pls stop playing on your toasters
Invengeance2 votesI like this, but they should put more emphasis on removing exploitability in it too.
Aka, if one or more players do not connect to the game, the game is disbanded, with the non-connecting player recieving a leaverbuster punishment. If the player is in a duo, both the player and their partner recieves a leaver buster punishment.
There's no exploitation, there's no loopholes, there's no reason this shouldn't be implemented.
LaceUp231 votesYeah, I was assuming that we keep the leaverbuster penalties. But there is a good reason this won't be implemented, it has nothing to do with "toxic language". Since "toxic language" is the only rito is worried about (even though it is the only thing that players can actually fix themselves with the magical mute button), they have no interest in something like this.
FreckledManatee1 votesI wouldn't say leavebuster because if you're not connecting in that screen you arn't just being a jerk and dc'ing, but maybe a 20 min wait time before getting into another game, as opposed to the 5 min ones when dodging.
Jubbinaut1 votesLyte's actually been talking about doing this for a while. It's something that I think he very much wants to work on, but has had other priorities lately.
LaceUp231 votesHis only priorities have been changing the loading screen font color to try and fix toxicity. LOL. I think he can give that up for a little while in order to do something meaningful.
Jubbinaut1 votesAlso developing and iterating on Team Builder Draft. And the Report Feedback system that was recently put in place. And preparing to integrate the Tribunal into the current feedback/NPL systems.
Also, it's pretty well-established psychology that color can adjust moods - if it takes a couple hours to write something to set up an experiment on the depth and effectiveness of those effects, and another few hours to process that data, I wouldn't call it meaningless.
LaceUp231 votesBump.
LaceUp231 votesAnother game without a support. Why is this allowed? Completely ruins my game trying to 1v2 a lane. Get your shit together rito.
Owlythe1 votesDisbanding the game would actually be a pretty great idea. Just give the penalty to the person that never connected in, that way 4 people don't have to sit through a 4v5. The penalty for the person that didn't connect doesn't have to be too harsh; just something like 4-5 LP just like if you'd dodged in champ select.
LaceUp231 votesAll I have are good ideas :D
