Riot Are you going to do anything about rank afk?

Pls Gank Mid·2/29/2020, 12:48:09 AM·1 votes·2,614 views

Got an afk top in the first game, the Irelia was crying about not getting ganked. Then an afk mid and adc in the second one. Funny thing is that in the second game nothing happened and they two just stayed at base and did nothing. I'm playing my pending games so there is nothing Riot can do to make this up. And so far I haven't received any punishment notification about the reports I made with these people. So thanks Riot for building a really fair and efficient reporting system.

Regardless of their %, AFKs are irrelevant to the ranking for a simple reason: they can ALSO be in the opposing team and allow easier wins. Use your memory and remember that you lost some games BECAUSE of AFKs and you won some game THANKS to AFKs. Over a Season of hundreds of ranked, their presence evens out = no impact on your ranking. Simply our brain is wired to stronger remember bad experiences. That being said, its frustrating of course and should be better identified and punished, hence the announcement from yesterday.

Also, I dont believe there's currently any notification for AFK report, its only for toxicity report and feeding report.
