A serious discussion on afk.

Why can't we afk when we are clearly getting griefed? It wastes so much life and it is human psychology to not quit when ur a salty little bitch. So 4 people don't want to surrender but we have clearly lost, like clearly. What if I wanted to leave these toxic players and go outside? Just a though riot, add this to ur game.

Emergency or sudden power outage aside, there is never a reason to AFK. Either play the entire game, or don't play at all. Punishing your team just because you never think you can win game is unacceptable.

So when 2-3 of your teammates have dc'd for whatever reason for most of the game, you shouldn't afk? Alright, you can have fun wasting time, then.

Just quietly and un-suspiciously trow the game without they knowing. After dying just say "Oops I was warding"

Or don't do that, because if that becomes a popular form of pretending you aren't throwing than anyone genuinely caught out warding will get griefed to no end. It's the same issue as people having brief lag issues: the people who genuinely have some random lag are assumed to be lying and terrible at the game.

That's not a serious discussion. That's you asking for an excuse to afk on your team which there never is an excuse that shouldn't be worth getting reported for. Don't leave your teammates out in the dust, especially yourself.

I wouldn't afk often, it happens once in a blue moon but there is a point where you are in solo que and there is nothing you can do and the enemy team wont finish on purpose. It's a waste of time, a lot of time, I'm talking about the 60 min 80 min games that go on cuz the enemy team has to get every objective 400 times and your team is legit griefing. Maybe setting a maximum time for games could help like maybe 1 hour and then the # of people required to surrender would diminish? Something like that could help with a lot of the grief in these scenarios. If you can't win in a game in an hour and the enemy has ALL their towers up.

Anyway I just wanted this to be a serious discussion but everyone in here is derailing me telling me "there is never an excuse to afk" well then this community is just a bunch of griefers then. Never ff is toxic.

Also i have never afk'ed ever.

  1. How do you keep people from abusing it and using it to troll and avoid being punished?
  2. What metric do you use to determine if someone is being griefed?
