Loving aram mode but the amount of leavers/afk ...

We are a group of 5 players (around 30 y old, me now 35, yeah yeah we might not be as fresh as most of you !).

We are in love with aram mode, it's honestly a wonderful mode when you want less pressure, less stress, less flame (usually). Sometimes balanced, sometimes not ... anyway, i used to play a lot of regular summoner rift games back in my youth but now i play 70% aram 30% for 2-3hr daily. Some of my friends even went full aram. BUT, and there is a big "but" oh yes ... more than ever ever, it lately became really painfull because tons of :

  • **full afk's **: from start until end of game, these guys basically never play or move their champ. Don't really know why they launch the game since they earn nothing but reports, it's a mystery.
  • Low patience leavers : first lost teamfight they leave the game till end (with sometimes flaming bonus). they do that because they are comfortable with pointing aram as a "non-serious" game. These guys annoy you like hell in SR ? well just imagin having 3 times more (even if you don't take aram seriously, assume you do as me and most of other aram players ... and you will at some point while getting older trust me).
  • half afk's : probably browsing web at the same time ... or play at their work/school ? Anyway they hurts a lot the game. Rely on them or don't ? sucking experience, missing tank or ad damage ... Would you be half afk/cooking/netflix if this was SR ? nah so just don't plz, again it's not because you don't care that 9 other ppl are on the same page as you.
  • Missin start afk's : from 3 to 10 min afk from the beginning of the game then play till the end. The lesser evil as geralt would say, but a victimized team here and feed team there. The game might already be lost and ofc unfair, counting around 3/10 games that can be saved after the "return" of that afk player. To sum things up, you also are a selfish guy wasting people time. The 3 first afk type are the priority though.

I am now reporting it here on this forum because i recorded the stats of the last 100 aram i did with friends or alone. 57 games were having afk. Each time sending a "afk/leave" report, nothing but this reason and 100% honest. Riot used to ban the ppl i reported in aram but don't listen to me anymore because they might think im overreacting spamming these. I am not, all these 57+ reports (sometimes 2 afk per game !) were valid. I don't know what to do anymore, i love a lot aram, i don't plan to stop ... ever. I wish these people stay ready from the beginning to the end or never press the confirm button.

With your egoism, you make 4 other ppl wanting to win and have fun loosing their time. Probably even 9 ppl because i hate win against only 4 and i hope you do aswell. I have never seen that in any game/sport. I mean, basically play only 1/3 or not even one min of a game you just started ? This is beyond stupidity and selfishness. You are a beast in SR and can't take a moment to play decently aram ? i don't care about your skill you are a plain coward. Aram not serious ? it might be really different as SR but it still takes 20 to 35min of 10 people's personal free time, people who might not have much of that, require skill you wouldn't deny and require being focused enough so it's serious too. If Aram was a standalone of another game with another name, you would not being thinking that ... at all.

Please Riot, start to do something serious about the afk/leaver in Aram. It's a plague, now that this issue has substantially grown it's killing an actually very fun & passionate mod. PLaying is playing, it's not be anywhere else in the house or on internet wasting the time of 9 other individuals. Are you really supporting that ? Please as the same ban quality in aram, and no, we are not overreacting when spamming the reports, there IS are big issue here and it will grow bigger as people fancy more and more this mod as the years goes by.

Cheers. (special thanks to people staying from begin to the end in aram, you are the pearl of gaming community)
