Upvote this if you want to implement a progressive (up to) 2-week ban for consecutive dcs & afks in ranked, over a brief period of time.

"Consecutive DC / AFK ban" How many times in a short time do you have to afk or dc before it's not ok? How many games do you have to ruin for people? Why do the majority of afks/ dcs occur mid-late game after a player dies allot or starts losing?

Dcing or afking ruins the game and takes up 30 minutes of 4 other peoples time, which is wrong and unfair to those people. I get it some people have poor / unreliable internet but if your dcing multiple times over a short period then there should be a punishment for that.

As my friend says most of the time people DC/AFK mid-late game, after they start losing. There's already a system in place to allow re-make from dcs at the start of the game.

Dc can happen to everyone even you. If you get banned because of that , you will be cursing this ban system right?

Because some AFK's and DC's can be out of your hand. Could be a storm, mouse stopped working, wifi issues.. etc. Could be anything, if you re-phrased it to - Punishing people who repeatedly do this without a good reason then that's different.

i don't know what your city is like but in mine power outages and internet cuts occur when you least expect it with no distinctive pattern behind it. i could be months or years between them or days. right now we've had hot water issues for the past month all over the damn place with no prior warning.

getting banned due to something out of my control doesn't seem quite fair. good luck finding those upvotes!

As long as its reasonable. Id have to see the parameters to agree with it. I definitely think their afk punishments could be harsher.. but not too harsh. So yeah, this is one of those things that comes down to the details. The details have to be right. Until then, I will just say yes I agree they could be harsher.
