Leaver Penalty and Low Priority q

Irbdog··1 votes·527 views

To all players of League of Legends players that have internet problems, family issues, or other spontaneous interruptions I propose a new alternative for the horrific system of punishing leavers. My personal problem with leaving games is my internet. I have at&t and in the area where I live it disconnects randomly and frequently. Because of this I am frequently in a low priority q and I feel that Riot is going about this in the** wrong direction**. Instead of making unable to have fun playing their game because my inability to get a better internet provider Riot should give a penalty like solely losing a large amount of LP, something that you can regain. And to those who lose because of this problem get a loss of a very small amount or even none, and those who win get an insignificant amount as well. I feel** I should not** be punished by not being able to play the game you made because of my terrible internet, and I always reconnect but now the team can just surrender in 3 mins and I am immediately placed into 5 20 mins q's. This is a problem that needs to be addressed by Riot and seriously makes me pissed.

PS. i also applies to dodging q

No thanks. You are ruining games by playing with an unreliable connection. It is a problem you should be solving before you queue again. This has to be punished by not playing the game because you leaving is detrimental to other players.

IMO if anything leaverbuster needs to escalate to actual bans after a couple 20 min low priority queues because that person is clearly not getting the message.

The problem that needs to be fixed is your internet, not the system that punishes you for ruining people's games.

The only reasonable alternative I have ever heard is to just throw everyone with connection problems into their own queue but that will probably never happen.

I understand you haven't played an actual league game in a while but the thing is its fun. And when my internet goes out for 30 seconds during champion select it means for the next five games i have to wait for a total of an an hour and 40 mins before each and every one. To me this is bullshit because i just want to play a fucking game. And sorry i don't prioritize my internet for playing video games over food and my house.

You are forgetting the reason for this game. To have fun. You have to take in consideration people of all different life styles play this game, even Riot themselves made a whole documentary series on it.

Shove your entitled good internet up ur ass

Yes the reason to play is to have fun. 1 person leaving messes with 9 peoples fun.

I'm sorry your internet isn't reliable enough to play the game, but that is your problem and you are making it everyone else's problem. You are betting with everyone else's time and enjoyment every time you queue up knowing that you have shotty internet. Unreliable internet isn't a lifestyle, it is not meeting the requirements to play the game.

There is leniency built in for people who have occasional issues, but that seemingly isn't you. You have a persistent issue that you are not fixing and it is interfering with other people's play.

Im not talking about being a in a game for 40 mins leaving and then never coming back, im talknig about q dodging and surrendering at 3 mins

those should not be punished by what they have in place
