My internet went out during a game.

Crow God·Jan 22, 2015·2 votes·1,432 views

My internet (comcast) when out for over an hour during my last game. I was jus able to get it back 5 minutes ago. Comcast service went out for quite a few chunks of states for a bit there. Some still have no service in areas.

Of course for "leaving" i got a leave as my game status. When i was able to log back into league, obviously the game was over long ago and i had to sign this thing that felt like a life contract of "you will never leave another game ever again". So im guessing quite a few people reported me for afk/DC.

Is there anyway to fix this leave status on my match or maybe something i can do do have this not counted against me, since i had o choice in the matter?

This is the 10th time in 2 weeks my net has gone out...thankfully this was the first time during a game. Maybe its time to look for other services...

If it is the 10th time your internet has gone out in the last 2 weeks, why the fuck are you still trying to play? Get some common sense dude. Good thing I don't run the ban service, because you sure would be banned.

"Is there anything I can do to get this off of me because I had no choice in the matter?" You had an easy choice, don't play league with a shit internet. You ruin the game for 9 others. Stop being so dumb.

Yeah, there is a reason your not allowed to ban, its called your fucking stupid an would ban people for something they cant control :/

This game was not the first ive played during these issues an ive only ever DCed ONCE during a game within the above stated time frame.

All other ones went jus fine. No DCs and no Lag, or other things that could cause the game to go bad.

It may negatively impact the game for my team, but it is not my actual fault that comcast cant keep their shit kept together. Look at all the games ive been playing. Do you see leave on any of them besides jus this one? No.

I was 5/2, do you really think i would jus up an abandon my team even if were down 3 towers an them 1? No.

No one is arguing that you can control your internet going out. What you can control, however, is being intelligent not to play if your internet has gone out 10 times in two weeks. Odds would say that the more you play, the more likely your chances are at screwing over your team with your stupidity.

I see you're good at making friends.

Pretty good with ones that have common sense. But no, not really good at befriending business majors, though I would say it's by choice :D

Sorry buddy... Riot doesn't care anymore. Intent doesn't matter to them anymore, they've explicitly said that the fact that your internet going out causes others inconvenience means you deserve to be punished for it.

I hate that that's the case, because intent is far more important than effect in my eyes... but Riot disagrees. They want people to only play LoL if their internet, computer, family life, health, etc. are ideal so nothing can ever get in the way of the game. And you're the collateral of that decision.

Good luck with your games though, hopefully you don't dc more.

i can understand of people make an excuse for every leave if it happens often or they intentional do it, but there is little i can do besides hope i dont get another DC.

Ive never had such a big issue with comcast before. MAYBE one outage a month. or none at all.

you're absolutely right. All you can do is hope you don't DC... or quit LoL altogether(the latter is what Riot wants, since your connection isn't perfect)

this is an easy one! Whenever there is an afk, you report for afk!

I see the backlash coming but hear me out!

If you are not a habitual leaver, you hardly ever afk and this was an exception, the reports, (even if there are 9) are not going to do anything against your good standing. NOTHING, NADA ZIP, ZILCH, NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER!!!

If you leave often, if your unstable internet or bad computer or rage habits make you afk often, you'll get punished.

That's the way the system works and that's why it's important to report afk's.

ALWAYS. EVERY TIME!

hmm...alright then.

I was jus a bit worried sign i had to sign a screen that it said you agree to never leave again.

I honestly felt bad for not being able to play the rest of the game.
