Can we admit..

that 4v5's are a huge disadvantage? (if everyone is the same skill, and sure you can win 4v5's but lets be real, in order to do this their whole team, for lack of better terms, needs to not understand how to play the game at all)

and my personal favorite you have a 50% chance of getting an afk on the enemy team also (this is wrong for a couple reasons, but the main one is....grab a coin and flip it 10x, did u get heads 5x and tails 5x? sure it can happen but more times than not it will either be above or below 5.....aka just because you have a 50% chance of something does NOT mean you will get that half the time)

can we stop using these excuses? they are old and invalid

"carry harder", really? let me ask, how do you carry a 4v5 when lets say, your top goes afk from start and its nasus just free farming? i take it at this point someone will say well why dont you just kill your lane then go roam? so what do you do when their jungle camps your lane? at this point someone usually says well your jungle blah blah now what happens when top roams mid and its now 2v3 with your jungle? hint answer is almost nothing, u cant roam top and push because they got 3 and you got 2, not only that but chances are the enemy who had free farm probably has alot of cs considering he doesnt have to trade or take dmg from any of it

lets be real and think about when we say this, because winning a 4v5 isnt about how good you are doing but rather how bad the enemy team is doing

(yea im not gonna lie im a bit salty, but this is coming from someone who started ranked with the first 8 matches having 10 afks (1 in each of the 8 except 2 in which case had 2 afks in them.... and just delt with getting to series and gettign 4 afks ina row, then 2 intentional feeders, then 3 more afks in a row)

this afk problem needs to be fixed and it all stems honestly from reports doing almost nothing let me put it this way, wether you are leaving games constantly, have constant computer issues, or the once in awhile emergency (power outage, family, etc)

if your leaving games constantly, harsh punishments that progress with how often your leaving will either deter you from leaving games or if you keep going you just wont be able to play=problem of afks gets better

if your having constant computer issues, then you should know you shouldnt play considering half of your games you "lag out" or get dc'd...but if you keep playing and this keeps happening, you get banned which means you wont be ruining others games as much=problem of afks better

once in awhile emergency? then you shouldnt care because this is once in awhile and not all the time so a small ban is nothing to worry about (im sure your emergency was more important than getting a small ban) so you shouldnt even be worried about it

tada, now the ragers who quit wont be in your games as often, and neither will people with computer problems that play regardless of the fact 9/10 of their last games they lagged out and dc'd

honestly i think most problems with toxic people to afks comes down to the report system being almost null and void, if it wasnt then people wouldnt be saying stuff like "go ahead and report me it wont do anything"

(and the bad part is nothing actually happens and theyre right)
