Could we get an "F***, I gotta go button"

GigglesO··11 votes·1,324 views

A leaver button for real emergencies?

We could get 1 every so many months for those crap, I just got a call, and I have to go to the hospital, cows are out, kid just got hit with a car, cops are arresting my a** situations...

You might be asking how this would be different from "just leaving" Well, it could give 3/4 of a win to the enemy team, and 1/4 of a loss to allied team. (Or) In the off chance your team wins a 4v5 it gives 1.25 wins. However, the leaver would still take a full loss no matter what.

How would this help? Well some times there really is an emergency that you have to go. Leaving 2 games a year is negligible, and we could punish the leavers harder.

Is it abuse-able? For those two games, hell yea it is, but if we punish leaving other than those two games harder, no, no it is not. Not to mention we could make it anyone duo'd with the player also gets a full loss. This would make it so that teams can't abuse it by manipulating losses/wins.

"cows are out"

but on a serious note this is a good idea imo. My job has a hot-line that rotates weekly. Sometimes i'm mid game when i get one, and the client needs help immediately. It's a rare occasion, but still makes me feel like shit for abandoning my team.

Hey, rural people play league; I had to leave a game once because my goat was scared of the 4th of July fireworks, stuff happens.

considering losses due to afk are rare (i've only had 1 or 2 in the past few months, and they were ragequits) i'd say it isn't needed. A system that allows you to abuse lp loss no matter how long the delay to its use isn't needed, it'll just be abused as a way to cushion the last for your queue partners in a b.s. loss. And if it can only be used say once a month or with an even longer delay that it basically has no effect anyway.

It would help everyone else that only leaves 1-2 games a year feel better about leaving their team. Also, if there are such few leaver losses, then why couldn't we add in a feature like this for the few times it does happen? It would raise moral by a ton if you could keep playing knowing you could get 1.25 LP (as a bonus) or it is only 1/4 of a loss.

Ummmmmm, are you sure you're playing League?

Would this give "loss forgiven" or something during placement games? :o

I could see it, as long as you aren't premade. This would only allow fringe abuse, and again, we would have to punish the leavers harder when they are out of "free games to leave".

No way. I do not like this idea.

Once you've started a game, you are the game. There's no way to escape it until you finish.

I get that, but lets be honest, I'm in an earthquake, my house is on fire, or I just found out my parents were just in a near death crash, my cows are out, or ect... I'm going to straight up leave.

Why not let me take a free -20lp, and give everyone else the benefit of the doubt? On top of that, with a x free leaves (with lp loss of course) we can punish leavers that consistently leave even harder.

Who cares... really... it is not that big of a deal to lose LP, or wait 5 minutes in a low priority queue because of unforeseen circumstances.

How about pressing this button invalidates any opportunity of returning to game and activates an AI to play your champion for the remainder of the game. It may take Riot a while though to program in AI for every champion and also build appropriate itemizations for all said champions. Basically it's too much work for Riot to implement and I just wasted everyone's time who read this far.

No. Intermediate AI for bots wouldn't be a good replacement and is almost like having nobody in lane - aside from the fact it would be feeding kills.

Not if you're in Bronze V.

But I see your point.

Have personally been in BV. I can agree that Intermediate bots are better than the toxic and trollish players you can find there. However, there are people who actually try in BV, are better than their toxic counterparts and aforementioned Intermediate bots, and just get weighed down by the constant afk/trolling that goes on there.

Only if you leave, then someone on the enemy team has to leave as well. That would be fair to both teams and allow them to continue playing. Either the player that started in your same position has to leave for enemy team (seems most reasonable). However, people would complain if that was their carry regardless of lane/role (and wouldn't complain if it was their lowest producing member - because hypocrites). Everyone would receive the W/L of the game as the remaining 4 players have played it out. Otherwise, you are screwing over your team by "hey, I gotta go" - and yes, it can be abused (and it would be).
