Level 1 AFKs should allow forfeit

WAAY Too often, i've had matches where one teammember of mine, was afk right from the beginning.

Obviously this is going to be a loss. And, obviously, the AFK is clearly detectable by automated methods. Therefore, /ff should be enabled in these cases from the start. It is REALLY, REALLY, UN-ENJOYABLE to be forced to play these pointless matches!!

So please allow immediate /ff (ideally, with loss prevention) in these cases.

But,even without loss prevention, I'd still prefer the ability to /ff immediately.

Nah, people have technical difficulties. I think 10 minutes is a fair amount of time to everyone.

I don't really think Riot cares about the AFK experience. Everything they've done suggests they don't.

How the **** is 10 minutes "a fair amount of time to everyone" ? If someone is 100% afk for even 5 minutes, the game is pretty much lost unless the other team is totally incompetant

but it's never just 5 minutes. If someone is afk at the start of a game, then even IF they come back.. they always afk again. Usually giving up a free kill or two when they do so.

Maybe in D1. You're in B4 m8..people win 2v5s in B4.

that's just not true, i've won 4v5s before, it happens to people every day. it takes work but they can be won. if you give it a few minutes and try you might have more of a chance than you give yourself credit for. 10-15 min should suffice, but yeah it shouldn't be 20.

i've won 4v5 before as well. However, that's about 1 out of 20 times. I'd far rather have skipped the really really annoying, frustrating, POINTLESS 19 times, than to have gotten that 1 win.
