Imo Riot should ban players who spends the game at fountain

I know Riot tries their best to give punishments to guys who afks. But i guess they don't do anything to those kind of guys who are at the fountain but moves couple steps in 5 minute. I had match with my Euw acc where everyone else expect me went to afk to fountain. They moves a bit at the fountain, so they don't get punishment for being afk. And it's not "once in lifetime" experience when you have those kind of afkers in your team, but i never seen feedback from Riot where they say that player has been banned. That just ruins the game for people who wants to play. Sry bad english :/

The leave buster consider that AFK and as such does get punishment. As far as I know they do not get ban as people who afk don't get ban in general. I would assume though if someone did this in every single game they would get punished. But if it was one game they would probably only get hit with a leave buster/LPQ!

They do punish for that behavior. As for what that punishment is, that would depend on the frequency and severity of that player's actions.

Well I'm pretty sure Rito can tell by the individuals gold income, I mean if you're just standing in the fountain and taking 5 steps you're not earning anything but the standard gold every second.

I think it's that Rito doesn't handle that situation at all and leaves all afk punishment to leaverbuster, and leaverbuster does nothing if the person is standing in the fountain and moving to avoid the boot.

They don't do their best because their best would be banning frequent afks/dc's. They don't, they give them sorry ass low priority que which does nothing.

People do that to avoid leave buster. Riot knows it.

Just use the end game report system. If they do it often enough it'll trigger a manual review that will have someone look at the person's games and it's pretty easy to spot an AFKer. Especially if all they're doing is sitting in the fountain moving a few pixels every few minutes.

i feel like afk and active non participation should be seperate reports. one could be an emergency or internet issues, but if you're actively moving around in game. its clear youre trolling. 14 day or perma plz

I suppose they voted to surrender because they don't have fun anymore. If you have fun you can play but don't force anyone else to play after 20 if they have no fun. After all, this game is about fun, not labor.
