Stop punishing ranked players when their comrades rage quit or int!

Suicune bot··4 votes·1,021 views

I'm sick and tired of losing LP because one of the players on my team decides to afk or int when something doesn't go their way in ranked. This happens quite frequently and It's extremely hard to get anywhere due to it. Silver and Bronze are the worst with this. Riot please come up with a system to fix this. It could be as simple as the early surrender team doesn't lose LP but the Winning team gains it. Or perhaps a remake at any point in the game as long as a player has been afk for more than 3 minutes. I've had this discussion with multiple people and they all feel the same way. Players who are actually trying to do well should not be punished for someone who is actively trying to make everyone else fail. It's just not fair to the community...

i want you for the next month to keep track of how many times someone on your team ints or afks, and how many times someone on the enemy team ints or afks. come back with the results and you'll realize that you gain as much lp from it as you lose

Ohh good, i can repeat myself again. At the start of the season I did just that! I recorded everything. I stopped playing ranked after 60 wins... but basicly i had 30% of the time an AFK on my team. the enemy team was barely 5%.

You lost, it's your own fault! they say... what a disgusting joke that is

Nope. That would be abused.

More detail?

Duos or flex could abuse this function to help friends climb. Jump on a smurf, que, and if it looks bad have the smurf bail for lose prevention on the friend. People may also target an ally and bully them in an attempt to make them leave.

I know what it means, but thanks for reminding me.

Then maybe a once per day afk shield or only lose 50% of the standard lp amount. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it didn't happen so often in Bronze and silver.

I've actually never gained LP this way but in the last month alone have lost 4 games due to this.

With inting most of the time people are just having a bad game, nothing you can do about that even you have bad games.

Yeah literally just happened again. Another afk in ranked. Not one game after the first one and now I'm back at 0 LP in Silver 4 on my main account. This is the 2nd afk loss i've had in the past two hours. Seriously something can be done about this. There has got to be something. I started today in y promo's and I'm back at the bottom again. It honestly seems like the only "Safe" time to play league on NA servers is between the hours of 7am and 1pm Monday-Friday. Which is when I'm at work so GG rioto I'm done with league because of it's community and my bad luck on getting the most toxic and trolling players of them all in my games.

And when do these people afk? Are we talking about the enemy knocking on your front door and they afk or are we talking game just started and afk

Roughly 10 minutes in before any towers have been taken or maybe one tower, or dragon. Literally nothing "Game Changing" has happened. They just AFK for no real reason. Mundo from my last game went to gank mid, stood there and recalled then afk watching the katarina die. The worst part is that he didn't even disconnect. Just stood at fountain occasionally buying items.

I'm honestly terrified to even que for another due to getting demoted. Again. Which is kinda sad because I enjoy the climb, I do. But not when it's in a game where I'm incapable of even playing.

take a brake dude, you're just going to drive yourself crazy, plus taking a break almost guarantees that you won't be matched with them again
