When did lagging become a disconnect?

Mercgaming101··4 votes·570 views

Greetings,

I was playing a Co-Op vs AI game with a friend, on my laptop and the battery started to become drained. As I was backing to buy items in the fountain, I quickly plugged in my charger and continued to play. After I started lagging a bit, I minimized my screen to make sure there weren't any back-ground programs running and there weren't. I put up with the lag and finished the game.

When the game was over, I was asked to say, "I agree," to not leave a game again or could face punishment of being banned. This seemed rather strange to me, considering I finished the game and had a pretty awesome score. 26-6-13 or something like that on Ashe (Yes, I died six times to Intermediate bots lol).

As this "warning" message seems to be more like an "error message" I'd appreciate some advice as to how to avoid it from happening to me again in the future and also to newer players, as it doesn't seem fair.

Thanks, Merc

This could have several engineering problems with your machine's internet connection/battery usage. How old is your machine, what model is it, and what is the type of connection you are using for it (wifi/eth)?

That's interesting. I was wondering if it could be my laptop having an issue. It's a 2013 Lenovo AMD A8 Elite Quad Core. I was using wifi and there seems to be no lag at all, until I plug in the charger.

Check your machine for whatever software is using your bandwidth more trust me I learned that the hard way. I had Battle.Net running, was lagging, teammates reported me, and I got punish for leaving matches. Since LoL runs on every OS make sure to check something equivalent to my process where I just access Task Manager and check whichever software is using too much of my bandwidth or if I needed to check which devices.

You can get that message when you do not take any actions in game for a significant period of time. I'm guessing that happened when you get your charger and/or had the league game minimized. This is in place to ensure that people that afk without leaving the game are also punished.

This was probably your first offense so I doubt you have much to be worried about just make sure that your computer is ready to play when you start a game!

Ya that makes sense. I was probably gone for anywhere from 60-90 seconds. I figured since it was Co-Op vs AI, I should try to fix my lag, rather than just leaving.
