Idea to solve all A.F.K problems!

We all get infuriated when someone afks and leaves the game. Now, there ARE some cases where the person comes back, but most likely you will finish the game with one less person in the game.

So I ask you this... what if we were to make a special que so that other players could play in the spot of the Afker? In this que, there is no lobby, and you will be randomly assigned to a game in your skill level. You get all the items and the gold from the previous owner. Even Runes and Masteries. Now, you might think, what if you didn't HAVE the champion? Well, i think Riot should allow that to pass since they are trying to help players who are suffering because of an AFK!

Not sure if this is possible, but this might help many of us have a successful game :)

Cheers

it's an okay Idea,but there are flaws to it. first is what do you do with those that afk do to connection error or are afk and return. to simply kick somone permanently from the game they were playing would mean that the second you afk the system would start to look for a person to replace you even if your having connection trouble. plus there is the problem of switching from one player's computer to another which would tie up the game, because to swap players you would have to pause the whole game and send data to every player in the game at the time. {{summoner:2}}

it should be possible, only problem is I don't think others want to take over when way behind in a lot of cases. some people rage quit after dying a few times. even bad cs can make a big difference. sometimes not pressuring the other laner early is even enough to make the game annoying. I wouldn't really do this, I don't know who would.

And what happens then if the original player is able to reconnect? They get shafted?

Not only that, if you were to see this in ranked, you would get people put into games where they have NO idea how to play said champion, and could very well be a further detriment to the team.

I have had games that were easier to win once the offending party got bored/ragequit. Having random people join into a match like that (in my honest opinion) is a good, but ineffective solution, not only that, it would probably cause more problems than it creates with Riot's mediocre coding at best.

its a good idea but instead of a player just let a bot take over their champ and if he reconnects then he can get back in.
