Que dodging punishment, and leaving game early punishment is not fair, here is why:
- why que doging is the result of a poorly designed que system, and not a punishable action, that should harm players.
scenario. 5 people want to play the character teemo, then get to the que find someone was faster.. and they cannot choose the character you main, so.. they quit the game. You are then penalized, portrayed as a que doger, and thereby punished.
An alternate solution: Prior to entering a que, you select your champion, hence problem, is solved, the resulting change will result in a long cue of people, who all want to play a game with the same champion, but of course they can choose to wait it out, if they desire. A new option, you can see the que of games for the first time. You can see lets say 50 games, where everyone wants to be teemo. In this cue you can also change your guy, and jump into one of those games immediately. over cue problem solved. all parties should be happy.
Point in case: It is not fair to lock someone into a scenario, and when they choose to leave it, are punished. if your character is chosen, you dont wanna play in that game as another, this should clearly be.. understood by all, and should not result in a punishment.
- something happened in the game prior to the 15 minute surrender, where you need to leave. Or, after the 15 minute mark, you wanted to leave and they did not.
I personally believe this is simply part of the game. People often wanna leave early for whatever reason. I have a very easy and simply solution.
A. dont punish, simply give no essence points. to person who left.
B. give the players still in the game a choice, to receive, an intermediate AI bot, if everyone agrees,
to be at the same lvl that person who left was in.
Some might say this is bad, but hey I would say:
- its better than nothing.
- some intermediate AI are better than most regular players. that intermediate AI designed by riot, is a quite excellent bot.
point in case: there are always circumstances where one might want to leave. Ever since I have started playing this game more than 7 years ago.. riot has always tried to punish people. Punishing people does not help them change behavior. So please lets get creative do a small redesign.. and.. get players playing games as smoothly as possible. You have got to change your "punishment" system. This is an equivalent to using violence against someone, because they didn't do what you said. I think instead of siding with the whiners and complainers, and trying to punish people, its time for you to spend 1 year siding with the people who were fully justified in leaving a game early for whatever reason they chose. Riot the gauntlet has been laid down. Now i expect to see some changes because i have lived with this horrible previous system, for years now, so lets flip the script please!
