can we have a report category for refusing to play "separate from afk"

scazzman··3 votes·336 views

im talking about the people who sit in base typing, casting skillshots, and sit in fountain the entire game. the problem is, reporting them afk will only get them a LPQ at worst, call it something like "actively not participating" and if anyone says "report them for unsportsmanlike conduct" it wont flag thier account for review fast enough and feels like a catch all report and possibly a placebo

EDIT. I believe people are misunderstanding me. i know full well reporting for afk still works, however, having a separate category specifically for ragequitting/not participating would ensure they recieve actual bans and not just low priority queue

Report for AFK is the option to use.
As others have stated, the system knows your champ movements (that's how they get that graph of where stuff happened in the match history). Riot got rid of the useless categories (like unskilled) when they revamped the system.

tldr: All categories mean something now, and adding a written explanation in the report comment box catches any outliers.

You don't think the support system works. Be specific in the report field and stop assuming there is some magic secret system.

We don't need separate report categories for every little thing. Low priority queue is handed out by LeaverBuster, which is a separate system from Instant Feedback. Put in your report and if they AFK frequently enough, they will be banned.

the issue isnt people afking though. it's the people who are fountain typing

You seem to think of "AFK" as a literal definition of "away from keyboard". If you're sitting in base chatting with your team and not contributing, you are considered AFK.

the issue is, theyre recieving low priority queues when they should be recieving 14 day or permabans, because there is a big difference between being afk, and actively not participating

I'm not sure but I heard that system can detect that someone is sitting in base for a long time which makes reporting them for afk works

Just report for AFK because I've been told the game knows when someone is sitting in one place forever.

the issue with reporting afk is they will just get low priority. not an actual ban

Exactly why LPQ does nothing to reform anyone and why we still have many, many, many AFK's.
