This "I Agree" Bs (power outage)

WTFMatee··46 votes·7,417 views

So i have to agree and tell a lie because i clearly have no idea if a power outage or something will happen again.

Seriously this is like signing contract that you can't follow anyway

This is the ONLY game i have left since you implemented this message and it was because of a power outage.

Now i have to sign a lie to reassure yourselves that your "doing something about afkers"

Well guess what

Your not doing jack shit

The people that leave games aren't gonna give a flying crap if they have to sign something

But the people that do care are the people that don't like to lie..

Yeah it's pretty disgusting. I haven't left a game in a year but if I did I would throw something having to type "I agree" to never leaving again. That is impossible to actually agree to because, well, shit happens. Especially when you're running on adobe fucking air.

DoubleDammit4 votes

Yeah the contract thing is absurd. It is extremely frustrating to have to agree to something, knowing you will break it again whether it be willingly or unwillingly. Apart from that, I think the new Leavebuster system is awesome and all the disconnection babies blaming their shitty computers/internet/lack of self control on Riot makes me smile.

If a player disconnects more often then normal they really shouldn't be playing league of legends because if you dc from the game from no fault of your own thats bad for you yeah but it's also bad for your teammates who just lost because you left, no mater how far ahead they are you just cost them the game. I get that if you have dc issues that isn't your fault you shouldn't be punished but on the same hand your punishing 4 other players as well. Stick to normals if you have dc issues. If they stop people with these kinds of issues from playing that improves the game more then letting these unlucky people with the issues play because that 1 player just made 4 other players just as angry as they are.

No way, in support tickets they encourage you to play custom games if you have bad connection.

If there are other people in them yes.

I've also heard that leaving a custom game with bots in it will trigger leaverbuster too. But I'm not 100% on that.

Except you get this "I agree" prompt after ONE dc, which is incredibly infuriating and pointless since, as OP pointed out, leavers won't care while honest players will feel treated like criminals.

Happened to me when I lost my connection recently. Only ever left two games out of hundreds, for the same reason. Very frustrating.

Since 'stick to normals' actually means 'don't play at all' because the leaverbuster system applies to all queues, not just ranked.... what you're basically saying here is 'if your situation isn't perfect, don't play LoL'.

This sounds like a very clever way to get Riot to go out of business honestly.

Just so you know... if all those 'unlucky people' stop playing, your queue times will be just as long as the people on leaverbuster because nobody will be left to play with... and Riot will probably slowly go out of business as people move to other games.

Fortunately for Riot, most of these people won't follow your advice and will continue playing... but ya, if everyone who was in a potentially less-than-perfect situation stopped playing, most of their playerbase would be gone. So be careful what you wish for...

Thats not what i'm saying and you just twisted my entire arguement around and I don't like that. What I clearly stated is that 1 person with connection problems will ruin the game for 4 other people so playing the game with dc issues is selfish even though it's not your fault in any way you shouldn't ruin the experience of others. It's like having a cold, it's not your fault you have a cold but don't spread it to others.

Also, the rest of your argument makes no sense if they warned then banned people with say 10% dc rate thats likely less then 1% of the entire game. This will by no means destroy the game like you say it will. Also, once they get warned i'd say most of them will stop doing what there doing or fix the problem.

Your argument is pointless because that's not what we're arguing in the first place. Yes, if you have constant connection issues you shouldn't play LoL, but we're talking about once in a blue moon scenarios, not constant disconnects.

I've NEVER had disconnection issues before, but a few days ago my ISP went down and my team was left 3v5 because two of us use the same ISP and were disconnected. We both had to sign this "I Agree" thing saying that if we leave again we agree that we should be punished for it, which isn't true to my ideals at all because I feel that letting Riot off with punishments over a single leave is insane considering that it was something that isn't even under my control.

This is like being in a train crash as a passenger then having to sign a contract saying you agree to never let a train that you're riding on crash again. You have absolutely no control over a situation like that and shit happens, so eventually I'm going to disconnect by some fluke and Riot is going to say "Well sorry, but you agreed!" and then punish my account for it even though I'm not leaving on purpose and fully understand that it sucks the biggest balls ever for everyone else when that kind of thing happens.

Doing this is just pushing a "guilty until proven innocent" system onto everyone and then skipping the trial and going straight to the punishment. Tribunal was a much better idea than this because we could have been able to pull data to see how many times and how frequently a person has disconnected if Riot had bothered to develop it farther, rather than leaving it up to a dumb automated system, which the law should never be left to in the first place, to sort it out for us.

WhiteGuyWannaBe17 votes

You and people like you seem to completely miss the point of the complaint. Most don't mind a stricter leaver buster rework, they dislike being forced to give their word for something they have no control over. Local power outages, certain types of internet failures, and real life emergencies are not something you can plan in advance for. If you had to agree to do your utmost not to leave the game that would be fine, but being forced to agree that "I will never leave another game ever" is just stupid.

Power outages can affect anyone who uses electricity, therefore everyone should stick to normals.

I've honestly never minded afkers as much as I mind feeders, flamers, and toxic inducing trolls Teemo Fizz Trundle Riot never seem to get those people. ignoring trolls and feeders only make things worse. It's just as bad as 4v5 plus you have a guy giving them gold.

I agree completely. A person leaving the game is just gone - especially if it's just a dc... who cares about one loss? A person who ruins a game by staying in it sours your mood through their actions and attitude... which is much worse than a single loss.

superfighteroe4 votes

This agree statement is wrongly placed. It comes because you have had afk, during game , but for my part that was that twice during a COOP VS AI game, my computer crashed twice. And still this message appeared. Rito games. What are you thinking of.

I did not get leave from the game neither. Because I managed to come back into the game.

You have to punish people who leave by their own will , not people that leave by accident.

First of all .

The thing I agreed on is: Not leave game by my own will. But what if something special happen. All electricity in house go down. Internet goes down etc. I can't control that. This is sooo misplaced.

My internet went down for 3hrs while i was in the middle of a game... when i came back... I had to agree to this Leave Buster BS announcement too... I did not leave on purpose, I didn't chose to rage quit... I was booted out and had to call my ISP, they told me there was an outage in my area and that they would resolve it as soon as possible... how is this my fault?

Nicktoons4 votes

I don't see why they just don't hire people to actually check reports and actually investigate if the player actually did what was reported. Then check previous games for the same pattern. I've been in so many games with feeders who've had previous games where they've fed a ton in. I don't even feel like reporting even works.

Forest Gem3 votes

The exact same thing happened to me. My power was only out for a moment, so i was eventually able to get back to the game, but I rarely, if ever, leave a game unless I have a damn good reason to. And I never even start a game unless I know I have the time to play it. I feel like the message should only show up if it's a frequent occurrence, not if it only happens once every few weeks.

it shows up if it happens once every three months (personal experience).

First off, I'd like to say I enjoy LoL and support it. However, I do believe this new LeaverBuster system is unfair and bad. Riot employees, have made it through programming so they don't manually have to search for afk'ers. However, it is very frustrating when their client crashes on me (It ran fine before), and I get banned and blamed for being a afk'er. This is like a police officer telling someone to break the law then fining them. Please allow the detection of crashes or "reconnectors" and don't ban them.

I agree (although that last point would be near impossible to implement) and also nice icon.

My computer froze up, due to a LoL issue, then kicked me out of League. I reconnected to the game, but my computer froze up again and League kicked me...again. I rebooted my pc and loaded LoL, I received the "I Agree" window. It wasn't my fault.

Lułu3 votes

Highly support this thread. The thought of having to type "I Agree" over disconnecting is sickening. I haven't had to type it yet, but that's insanely unfair to ANY League of Legends player. There are SO many factors that you can add in: Power outage, any kind of emergency, LoL error, internet outage, etc, etc, etc. I'd understand a warning screen that said "leaving too many games may result in a time ban" alright, that would be completely fair...but being forced to agree to something completely out of your control? Utter Bull. They really weren't thinking about their players when they made that, were they? I really hope to see this removed/replaced ASAP.

If you don't have a stable enough connection or a good enough computer to stay in a LoL match then you shouldn't be playing LoL.

It's rude, it's mean but it's true. If you can't run a game you don't play it.

No, it's not true(well except the system requirements thing, I mean you should meet the minimum system requirements but LoL's are so low that that is a non-issue). This is a video game, people should play it. We should just be more understanding and less ridiculously selfish, but I guess common decency is too much to ask of people nowadays.

BallisticMouse3 votes

You're arguing yourself in your own comment.

If you think they should have to meet the system requirements, so they don't lag and feed, then thats the same as meeting internet/power connection requirements.

I'm not saying your power going out once and awhile is YOUR problem, im not saying you should be punished, but if YOUR internet is dropping every other game you play or multiple times a game you should not play. It's your fault, your problem. Fix it.

ora8 votes

So, what about the people that not only meet, but exceed the requirements, and still have disconnects/crashes? My biggest issue is that you can get a giant lag spike in this game that has absolutely nothing to do with your connection to the internet, but rather riot's connection to you, and then be told off for "leaving" the game that the client just forcibly kicked you out of. Or, you can be loading in champ select and suddenly bugsplat, and by the time you reconnect to the game you can get a dialog saying "Hey, this is riot. What you just did was bad. Don't do it again. Tell us you won't now pls, even though not only did you not do anything, but WE were the issue and now we're making you assure us that you won't hit one of our countless bugs again. Thenks!"

TL;DR: There are so many issues in the game/massive server load that you cannot reasonably say that if someone crashes it was because "their computer sucks" or "their internet sucks".

Source: Have a 6 month old, max specs MBP running bootcamp and am on the highest tier isp service in my area, still crash/lag out approx. once a month. And then, I can stream Netflix Twitch and Hulu while I wait for riot to take less than a minute for a server response. Yep, totally me...

BallisticMouse2 votes

If you're still having connection issues, and you're 100% it is Riot's fault, than there is your answer.

It's Riot's fault and I bet they could confirm it and remove any punishment.

If you crash once a month on NA servers, its probably you. I've never had an issue that commonly with Riot.

nowhere in the system requirements does it say 'an internet connection with 100% uptime' or 'a power grid with 100% uptime'.

I never said it did, because those aren't system requirements. Seems like you should know the difference before you try to act like you do.

There sever changes have increased my Ping from 20 (normal ping in just about any game i play.) to about 300, This is the ONLY game i have such shitty ping on. It's not MY computer and it's not MY INTERNET.

it's there shitty as fucking servers 99% of the time that people are having PING LAG.

FPS lag is YOUR COMPUTER.

Or how about this game i just played where is said "Attempting to reconnect." as i was watching a teamfight happen, No lag at all, No FPS or ping issues, Or what about Bug splat/"Firewall" Errors when loading into a game, These a RIOTS issues not the player.
