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.

Hopefully this is implemented more quickly than the new tribunal system that has been coming soon for like 2 years or so..

Lets be honest here, you'll be playing LoL in virtual reality before they announce an ETA for the new tribunal system.

still working on it. One might wonder what is more important for Social system design team than making ranked games more pleasurable?

I'm guessing it's making Ranked games more pleasurable (see Ranked Team Builder and Feeder-detection for the Instant Feedback system).

oh, yea. The instant feedback system was good addition. Ranked Team Builder was not yet released and who knows how far they are with that or whether they are working on it at all.

Main problem, as I see it, is that Lyte should probably not talk about any feature that is not comming out in near future (1 year max).

It's supposed to be coming during pre-season. Well, Team Builder Draft is, which - if that's received well - will move into Ranked soon after.

Eh. I don't necessarily agree, but I can see your point, there. I certainly think that if he is talking about a feature that's really far out, he take care to be extremely clear about that.

Lyte has been so focused on the community's toxicity and working on many projects over the last couple of years, like bringing out Team Builder for instance. He's got a lot on his plate and he's gotta make a restart that'll actually work. He's had to come up with something to help ranked out a little bit since we don't want some one to be able to 'take one for the team' sorta thing by leaving/quitting a losing game so that his teammates can get a loss prevented while all he gets is an extra couple minutes on his queue timer.

This idea probably had to take up a lot of thought and even it will need some work to avoid people from 'taking one for the team' because last pick didn't get what he wanted, so he went Clarity and Cleanse to get some one to dodge or DC at the loading screen.

Those changes are more than likley to occur during a preseason, where the game is in a fluctuating state, not the regular season.

Cool this happens to me, my internet gets cut out and i can't play the game so i always feel bad about my team going 4v5 so it's nice to know they can get a better time now!

They should literally drop every single thing they're doing just to get this feature in ASAP. Drop your champion designs, drop your balancing, drop your dinner, Riot.
