Ragequitters aren't getting punished frequently anymore.

Why? Cos most games end 20-25 mins when it's 4v5 and if the person Ragequits at say 15-17 mins, they don't get punished. I've witnessed this twice. Got paired with the same guy in ranked twice in a row. One time he was on my team the other time he was on the enemy team. He ragequit at the 15-17 mins mark and thanks to the snowbally meta of LoL, they won on when he was on our team and they surrendered when he was on the enemy team. I added the guy after and guess what? He had already jumped into another game without entering lower priority queue. This sucks Riot.

The thing with the leaverbuster is that you have to show consistent leaving behavior. 3 times in a day might do it, but they won't punish you after one or two leaves. He may be punished now, but remember that they want to give innocents a chance. And giving the innocent a chance means giving the guilty a chance as well.

Lool. I thought that was the case. Then I spectated some of his games (I really needed to know if he was being a douchebag) and I was right. Some games he would stay in fountain at 18 mins and then the enemy team wins or they surrender. And then he'll jump into another game.

I mean, how long is he sitting in fountain? And I do believe if he's still inputting commands and not actually leaving the game, leaverbuster won't get him. You'd have to report him for going AFK afterwards. Please note, I'm 100% sure on this, so if anyone wants to correct me, feel free.

Report him for AFK, problem solved.

Lool. Doesn't work if they time of AFK isn't substantial.

Five minutes is substantial, and it's verifiable by the stats Riot saves on games.

It isn't substantial. I've had 5 mins DC many times but no lower priority queue. Even 7-10 mins.

Because they are trying to balance their system and not punish people for having minor issues that they can correct and come back from, like a router going down, or the power going off and on.

This is the problem: When you're in a ranked game, even one AFK in your games is one too many; when you're the one who's been punished for something beyond your control, it feels unfair. It's just going to be impossible to make everyone happy all the time.

I know that's what it's for. If you read my post again, you'll see that I'm talking about Ragequitters in the CURRENT state of LoL where one mistake leads to the loss of 2 turrets. Back then I had a good chance in 4v5s but now it's impossible. They need to tweak the system to address this.

They're punished for losing the game...wait wat losing the game induces no consequence yo.

AninLegions777Mar 31, 20161 votes

I'm sorry but what?! They actually make their team lose by not trying to win and giving up early. That in itself deserves a consequence.

my sentence was grammatically wrong. What I meant was their punishment was their defeat, which means nothing because defeat doesn't really make you suffer apart from rewarding you less ip and xp, which most ppl don't care, hence no consequence induced.

That's better. :)
