Riot should punish those who decides to go AFK

Schnitzel Mannen··1 votes·648 views

I know this sounds harsh but in my opinion going AFK is the worst form of toxicity, you can have a bad game which result losing your lane that is no problem, you can still win late game if your team manages to win other lanes or you can just have a strong late game comp.

What you cant win is playing 4v5, I know some of you have won with one less player but if you think about it how many times have that happen? My wins with one less player are roughly 1 out of 70 games, with a hard feeder 1/5 games maybe.

People who rage quit should sustain the LP loss from the whole team, this means that the teammates who gets matched with these toxic players should be 100 % protected from losing LP when losing.

These ignorant players that decides to ruin 4 other peoples time and game play should get really punished, I know that banning is a good punishment also but that wont give my LP nor time back, I can accept that a player has a bad day or even just a bad game but that is not a reason to exit the game.

I know that some people cannot control their internet connection and sometimes dc's more often that others but then again why are they even playing a multiplayer game were 5 people are needed to play 100 % throughout the match.

So...who is with me giving these toxic afkers hell?

That would literally drop them an entire division. The punishment would be way too harsh for one occurrence, especially considering there are legitimate accidents and emergencies.

accidents and emergencies or not like in csgo when you enter a queue for ranked its says clearly "by accepting this match you are committed to a game that could take up to 90 minutes" same should be for league imo

People who AFK constantly are punished with a Low Priority Queue, and the system is designed so that afks due to unexpected emergencies once in a blue moon don't result in a punishment (though that leeway can be used up if they're happening too often). I agree that people who intentionally afk are a problem, but there's no need to penalize someone who only leaves/afks once or twice in a blue moon due to unexpected emergencies.

Being afk isnt really toxic. Its often necessary in online gaming and there should be mildest punishments for it. Most online games encourage players that they put real life ahead of video game.

75% of the time someone goes afk it's due to the REAL toxic player. I say take more strict action towards the little wannabe bullies on this game.

Calling someone trash and bad all game should = immediate perma

That's classic bullying and is done for one reason, to anger/punish someone in their own little depressed ways.
