Simply, i thought i had enough time to play, would have, but my wife got sick, and i had to take care of our 6 week old son, priorities of course, but it was a ranked game, and i ruined it for my team mates, it was a close game early on, we could of won easily, i have added the team mates i lost with, sadly i dont think they will add me so i could apologize, so to my team mates for that game, i apologize, i usually dont leave games, but this was a family matter that takes priority over a game, again, if any of you read this, sorry.

Edit: Just to let some people know who cant get the message from this post.

Ill quote one of the commenters.

Hes apologizing to the players in his game. He is saying that he hates when people afk and didnt want to be that guy. I assume he is hoping some of the players he abandoned will see this thread as he wasnt able to apologize via client.

Im not doing it for upvotes, call it, clearing my consensus(think i spelt that right), but i hate it when people leave, i think ive had two other games in my lifetime on here where i couldnt reconnect due to bug splat/client issues, outside my control, but still feel bad as i was "one of those guys" who left the game and ruined, possibly someone elses series, promos, maybe got one demoted, dont know, which is what makes it worse.

You would leave a game because it's time to fap?

Your family comes first. What I have a problem with is when players wth bad internet or computer problems, knows about these problems and ques anyways . . . . then they go afk or leave the game like 6 or 10 times . . . . . and don't even apologize . . . they need a ban. I appreciate that you are sorry about it, but it is understandable. I hope your wife and child get better.

Really need to agree with you on that, nothing is more important than family, congratulations about the baby and I thank you for being a good father.

I remember leaving a game for my girlfriend once because her best friend had just killed himself, and I let my team know the reason I was leaving and I understood if they reported me. And this dude flipped shit and yelled at me about it (not a ranked game either, I think it was a dominion match. this was a few years ago). I completely understand why you left your match. Family should always come first. And it wasnt something you could plan ahead of time.

Morality CoachSep 10, 20163 votes

They should start banning people for this. Leavers are way more annoying than toxic people.

JabberwöckySep 10, 201644 votes

yes ban someone for taking care of their own flesh and blood.

first time i dipped out of a game since season 1 when i first started playing.

Morality CoachSep 10, 20163 votes

I don't care about your kids dude, I care about my game. If you don't have time for a game don't play, there is always Pokemon Go.

KillerBoss V2Sep 10, 201654 votes

Cry me a river moral, you probably leave games all the time, If you care about your game more than your family, you don't deserve a game to begin with.

its a level 5 account, its someone who is just on here to troll. Let him be.

I'm gonna assume one of two things. A) morality hasn't been playing that long because, really? Riot banning for being toxic? That action is either extinct or endangered (Lol). And being that it is a level 5 account I severely doubt he has had enough left games to know about leaver buster, or even had that many leavers. This being said. B) Morality is a smurf, most likely due to being banned on his main for being toxic which is probably why he is so bitter about the leaver/toxic problem because he most likely finds it unfair that people who leave are not being banned in comparison to people being toxic (Like himself) I honestly don't think this is a troll as much as someone who is bitter about something that occurred recently. Because honestly I doubt a level 5 would know.

But at the same time I do see his point of view to some degree, leavers are annoying but you have to understand, there are things that come before games. If its a 5 year old who knew they had to go in 20-30 mins, that is one problem. If its something like this where a sudden problem comes up you must understand, leaves happen and you can't really blame them for leaving. Also looking into his history (Morality Coach's) He seems to create alot of similar minded posts, telling people to fix their computers if there are problems, or telling them to buy new routers/nets, well I'm afraid to tell you Morality, not everyone is so "Skilled" and "Able" or how do I say this, "Spoiled" as you.

LuxannaVeritasSep 11, 20161 votes

See, the problem is that I can see where he is coming from.

I'm not saying that Riot should ban you; I think you did the right thing. It just makes me think; usually it's very frustrating when someone on my team (or the enemy team) afks, but now it makes me think what their reasons are.

I mean, there's no way to know if he/she rage quitted or had an emergency like you did. Is my (or my team's) anger justified?

JabberwöckySep 11, 20161 votes

The way i see it, its just like any other game.

Ever played CoD in S&D and have a couple people leave you alone to vs the whole team by yourself? Even though it was for only 2 minutes, they left you to lose.

Same thing, just on a tad bit bigger scale, for pixelated rankings.

The only thing you should be mad about, is wasting your time, but as such, it could be from a number of things that they cant control.

Power goes out, health reason, someone got hurt, landlord came in, cops, swatted, break in, dog got outside and is in the road, cat knocked over your milk and it fried his PC. Tornado came through and uprooted his house.

Or it could be from something that could of been prevented.

Mom told you to gtfo and go to bed, do homework, take out trash, etc.

Just as long as your angry for the right reason, and not just mad that hes a POS for leaving the game when its more important than whatever their dealing with irl.

TakitoSep 11, 20162 votes

No offense but don't use CoD and League to compare hahaha.You can win a 1 v 6 in CoD (Talking from experience), but you can't win a 1 v 5 in league.

But i get what you mean, good job coming here to apologize.

This kind of attitude is why we should ban accounts that leave 20+ times. Everyone just cares about their own deal and LeaverBuster is not enough.

You seem to have a problem counting. The first non-zero number is not 20, it's 1.

Most downvotes in comment since tyler 1 post

Morality CoachSep 11, 20161 votes

It's always amazing to see people get emotional about their "right" to DC and lag other people.

Riot should ban all these people and let the toxic people stay. At least with toxic people you can mute or report. Toxic laggers and DCers just ruin games forever and make jokes as they are in the Leaver Buster queue.

If your mom was having a heart attack you woundt care becuase "i might lose a few lp which i can gain back if im good or i want more ip right?

Morality CoachSep 11, 20161 votes

Making a hypothetical argument this extreme shows you have a very weak position and honestly its bordering on poor morality.

Work on it

Halo WorshipperSep 11, 20161 votes

but thats just the thing, I work 10-14 hrs a day 6 days a week, I come home and have enough time for ONE maybe TWO games a night (minus EVERYTHING else I have to do) so when I play 10 games a week, and have an afk in 8 of them I'm going to complain. You play enough games to not care about afkers, but when someone afks in dam near every game you play it takes its toll. p.s all the downvotes @ morality prove his point, people would rather play an unwinable 4v5 then just mute a "toxic" person lmfao

4feedersonmyteamSep 11, 20161 votes

Im would prefer yous perma mute other than ban but im talking about morality fat ass and not your self. Morality is just a stcuk up child but you deserve better. Sorry for your afkers

Just wondering why you made this post? Real life> some internet game. Don't feel bad, people leave games all the time. No need to apologize.

invisiblecat1Sep 10, 20163 votes

One time someone had to leave at 1 minute because one of their family members got into a motorcycle accident and died, and our mid laner blamed them for the reason why we lost ;-;
