You know what really stinks? Turning a losing (but edging on the cusp of a turnaround - behind on gold, but most of the enemy team dead with a close teamfight going on our favor) game into a definitely lost game because some selfish jerk decided they didn't have to play anymore.
Having to wait 20 minutes for the next game is not even sort of a deterrent.
I'd love harsher punishments for dodging arams so i don't need to sit through 20+ minutes to get into a game that probably won't last that long. Leaving games hasn't been as much of a problem as it used to be.
Fak that.
I'll give my best for the period of time I (me, myself) see fit, after that I'm giving up. If you expect me to continue wasting my time after I decide that this game is going nowhere, you're loosing your mind. I don't owe you anything, let alone trying to win solo 1v9 for 40 minutes counting.
Fak this trash, usless, crying community.
TBH (although im a biased toxic player). I think People afk leaving are worse for game than people that rage. And punishment is way less severe (rather get 5 games of low priority queue than perma banned) makes me think next time I get mad at team I'd rather afk than rage at them and play game out then get reported.
amen
the only problem is when u leave the game for other reasons your punishment is a lot worse. In a game I once had a guy lose connection for him to reconnect 10 minutes later because his power died. I wouldn't consider that an unholy action because it's a natural occurrence. Does it suck we lost a teammate for 10 minutes, yes it does. Was it his fault, no. Another example was i once joined a game and after champ select my client would not respond, meaning i was afk from the game. I tried again to play and my client did the same thing. These 2 consistent "AFKs" resulted in me getting a 15 minute Que for 5 games. If we were to increase these punishments i would have got a greater punishment for things that i could not control.
I think a solution is we can keep the extra queue for AFK and leave busters. Make it so the people who left the game get an automatic Lose for that game and a slight decrease in honor (if ranked game maybe a level reduction or hwat ever it is called when a few more loses will result in a rank drop), PLUS I think any gold gained from the champ who AFKed (total gold collected to that point) should be distributed to the other players. This would make it somewhat up to the remaining players for there loss of a teammate by giving them an extra amount of gold.
I just want the punishment system to be more fair for what you do. I never feed/int/afk yet I said kys kys twice at a start of a match in rage because my support had smite and smited my blue buff on purpose. The rest of the game I was insulted, had my buffs stolen purposely by support, and kept being told to go afk yet I did not insult him back. But because I got angry at the start, I got a 2 week ban, just the same as he most likely did even though I was 1/10 as toxic. I could understand a chat ban or 24 hour ban to tell me to cool off but 2 weeks?... I am honestly scared when I play LOL sometimes because I go from playing Rust - extremely toxic game - to league and its hard to not instantly type " s t f u " and " k y s " when I am insulted by my own team. When my ban is done I am just going to find a way to not allow myself to type and I hope I won't have any more issues.
I wish it were possible.
A brutal punishment for somebody who loses power mid-game would be unfortunate, however.
They used to have time bans for chronic leaving. IIRC, it went 1, 3, 7, 14 days. What they found was people cycled accounts while the other(s) were under punishment.
This system is better, since players can't dodge the restriction via smurfs and alt accounts they don't care about.
i agree there should be harsher punishments for ACTIVE nonparticipation. IE. typing bot not playing. wandering map avoiding leaverbuster. ect. but just afk the system is fine
NONSENSE why would riot want to give a penalty to those valued members of our community... FYI the 20 minute que timer is why when I do RQ I dance and then turn on my macro so my champ isn't booted and automatically picked up by leaver buster
