New Leaver Timer

Space Bum·Feb 9, 2015·1 votes·443 views

-Times = the amount of time that followed the time you left game. Multipled for chronic leaving.

-Times do not start until your next login attempt. The timer only ticks down while you are logged in. (no account hopping)

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"

But really... Riot has already made the statement that they don't feel intent matters anymore... what more do you want? lol

The problem with this is someone could potentially just hop on a smurf anyways, and then log back into the other account and let the timer run down when they are done playing league (like while they are going to sleep or something)

How often are you going to want to call it quits for the day with your main? It's still a more detrimental system.

.... why do we need a more detrimental system? What benefit do you see other than making people who have unavoidable disconnects quit the game entirely, resulting in less money for Riot and thus less money for them to put back into the game?

Although, to be fair, Riot's already moving in that direction... but... they're not so stupid as to punish EVERYONE who ever leaves a game. That'd be corporate suicide.

I'd be a lot more concerned about the people getting screwed over by leavers. I would venture to say people with deeper pockets or who like the game enough to spend money are more reliable and don't leave games as much.

Nobody's going to quit the game over having a leaver in their game once. Nobody. Why? Because it happens. It sucks, but it's no worse than getting matched with a troll or getting matched against a 5-man premade. It's a bad game, you move on and play another.(or that's what most people think, I don't even agree with that... I, personally, don't care if people leave personally, but a lot of people are really immature and find that intolerable so... they have to be taken into account)

People WILL quit a game if they, say, have to leave a game due to their wife going into labour and when they get back home and go to play find that they have to wait 35 minutes to play. Or if they have a power outage and find that, despite having never left a game before, they suddenly have to wait 25 minutes to play.

There's a reason no company punishes for first time leavers. It'd be corporate suicide because almost everyone is going to have to leave a game ONCE. Emergencies, power outages, internet outages, etc. happen to everyone... and people will find something else to do in that ~10, 15, 25, 35 minutes they have to sit there and wait for a timer to count down. If that 'other thing' they find to do proves to be as fun as LoL, they'll likely never come back.

Riot is ALREADY punishing leavers so harshly that people are quitting over it, and you're asking them to punish them worse? Ya, not a good idea.

I wouldn't expect this to go against first times.

I'm all for them bringing back the leaver tag they used to tack on people as well.

I could really care less if someone's wife goes into labor. I don't play this game to empathise with others. Who I do feel sorry for are the people who get a small enough break in there day to use this game to relax and have it stolen by someone leaving.

Edit: I'm also sure that someone mature enough to have a kid should be able to handle this.

And I'm glad if leavers are quitting. Good. I have not had a leave timer on for years.

Myself and my friends have all spent $100's on this game. None of us leave games. I'm willing to bet chronic leavers aren't throwing up the same $$$.

Only if you promise to hold me and never let go.

Blunt, honest, and simple:

You're a horrible human being.

But I still wish the best for you, I hope someday you can find a person who likes you enough to be able to bring out something close to human decency in you. I hope that you can find enough happiness so that your life doesn't look so grim that you feel the need to stop empathising simply because you play a game.
