Got reported for DISCONNECTING during a game

In a lot of Pain··2 votes·1,529 views

So I was playing a game in TT, 3v3 normals at level 16. Was doing really good, went 3-1 then all of a sudden I was getting 500-1000ms spikes and it was causing me to be unable to move my character and my screen was pretty much stuck in place. I then exited my game and tried getting back into it, but it kept saying I wasn't connected to pvp.net server. I kept attempting to get back into the game for about 20-30 minutes. Get in and my team is losing. So I decided I needed to farm really bad, I tried hard to not get mixed up in any teamfights because I knew I wasn't going to be able to do much. I was about 150-200 farm less then the enemy jng and 4 levels lower. Had only 2 items. So when I tried to farm up my one teammate started badgering me about what I was building and the fact I was disconnected for so long. I muted him and continued on with my farming. But apparently he really didnt like that and got the enemy team to agree that they were going to report me. So I had to get into a huge argument with both the enemy team and my teammate about the fact that my disconnecting was due to an internet issue and not because I was trying to troll my team like the other player was telling them. After the game I ended up getting a msg saying that because I left a game prematurely that I will have 5 matches with 10 minute wait times on each to get into ques. I find this highly unfair and would really like it if this wouldn't happen in the future. Because it isn't a players fault if their internet they are using all of a sudden decides to crap out. There is a reason for the Alt+click on the ping, and I did do that just before exiting the game. After rewatching the gameplay, I did see that it did post, so they had literally 0 reasoning for being a dick other then the fact that they were either salty that they had to 2v3 for 20-30 minutes or because I wasn't building what they wanted me to build. Which I am pretty certain that in this game, normals are supposed to be a gamemode you either have fun in or you try to train yourself with a champ. Sorry if this entire post is too long to read, but I had to get this out of my mind and onto something. Because if this ever happens again I might just stop playing league and possibly move onto dota 2 or Smite. Because at least they don't have an unfair report system.

Dota 2 is not a better community Smite isnt going to be any different than league just a heads up

Sucks to have had to play in that , but mute move on is the best way to handle

you should not worry about a single games report if you're a good player, you've got nothing to worry about

Thanks for the heads up, but I already know that Dota 2's community isn't better. They just don't have a broken report system like league does. You can pretty much report a person for saying the words "I dont lilke" and be labeled as toxic. Its the unfairness of the basic report system that I m complaining about here. Not the factor of having to deal with one more internet dick. So even if you are a good player, there is still a chance out there that you can get banned for no reason.

I don't think "I don't like" by itself is considered toxic by anyone or any system now if you say "I don't like %%%s" then the system kicks in for reasons % was used over letters* rito can see

But best of luck to you

Normally whenever I say something like "I don't like %%%%" its something to do with either the game or politics, and I never say anything about other players. But lots of the time I see other players saying extremely toxic things and not getting reported. I probably shouldn't be going back to the forums after every time I get pissed off at the game for some reason. (Most of the time because of something another player did) Because I end up writing things that sometimes don't end up making any sense to me. The fact that they are getting intellectual replies is reassuring to me though.

You see toxic players, You didn't report them..... how can the system work if you are not reporting toxic users

Again Riot has a pretty much zero tolerance policy for hate speech in any form. If words are %%%%%%%%%% blocked it is hate speech even if you don't aim it at another player, you are hating a group of people

Thats not what I am...... your literally not getting what I am saying here at all. My %%%% had something to do with the stuff "IN GAME" Or politics. And I wasnt talking about %%%% getting blocked out or anything, I was talking about %%%% being a word of some sort that I just didnt have any idea to put down. I wasn't trying to make it look like I was talking about something racist or against other peoples. Since most of the time when I talk about politics I instantly say "I don't like POLITICS." and apparently it is counted as being toxic. If you understand what I am talking about now then good, if not I literally have nothing else to add to this comment chain. Since obviously it is beyond you.

Again, it does not matter your intention that fact is rito has a zero tolerance policy for those words If you still confused about it, that is my response. Please apply for a support ticket

This wasn't because you were reported, this is because you were absent from/inactive in the match for too long, the punishment is automatic. Frequently doing this in matches results in increased penalties, but not leaving enough games will reduce it.

I've only done it twice though and the first time was like 20 or so games before this one. So I don't understand why I would get it since it wasn't frequent at all.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

You are never supposed to leave games as having that disadvantage is really shitty for your team, 1 in 20 is still way too frequent.

In a lot of Pain1 votes

I never try to leave my games though, and I didn't say the number was exactly 20 that I played in between. I gave a rough estimate, which should still seem to be of no issue. Since the last game I was only disconnected for like 3-4minutes if anything. I don't really get how not being in 2 games of 40-50 would cause you to get a 5 match 10 minute que wait time. It just hinders the players gaming experience and doesn't affect whether or not they are going to do it again in the future. I don't mean to sound like I dick while writing these replies also, if any of you are thinking that. I simply have a load on my mind right now, most of which is influenced by anger and I am trying to make sure I calm it.

The fact that you agree it's a hindrance to you and you don't like the penalty means it's doing its job and directly contradicts the claim that it won't affect whether a player will or will not do it again in the future.

The purpose of the penalty is to both influence the player's decision to do something about their leaves (fix their router, don't play near dinnertime w/e) and to mitigate the amount they can actually leave games if it's intentional or they don't fix their issue (because it takes them longer to play games, so they play less).

No I don't think you're a dick and I don't assume you're doing it intentionally. Just try to understand the purpose of the penalties, and that we are here to help if you need assistance with a technical or other issue.

I understand you are upset but you only get a que penalty if you leave games frequently. Like I DC'd from a a game today but I didn't get a punishment because my last DC was months ago.

You're right, its not your fault if you lose connection to the internet. If it only happens once or twice in a short period of time, you'll be alright and wont get a que penalty. If you continue to que up when you know you have internet issues, then it becomes something you can prevent. If you know you are having connection problems, maybe you should work on getting them fixed rather than getting in a game.

Best of luck to ya

I rarely get internet connection problems, but I understand your point. I normally have 20-30ms during 99% of my games. So it either happened because of the league server, or because of the weather outside my house.

And I am confused as to the reason why I am getting "negative" points on a perfectly valid discussion.
