this is ridiculous. it has gotten SOO much worse in since they implemented the autofill system and stopped banning people as frequently.

I don't know exactly what you changed but switch it back.

Riot is trying but they can only do so much on their own. The people who frequently leave/afk are hit by Leaverbuster and placed in the Low Priority Queue (source: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752714-LeaverBuster-FAQ), but players can also report them for leaving/afking and get them punished that way. Could Riot do more to combat this issue? Yes. Should they? Yes. Should the community help combat this issue by not becoming leavers/afkers themselves and reporting the ones that are? Yes.

ok what's your point? Riot is the only group in this situation who can have a meaningful effect. Instead of putting them in low priority que ban them for a week and make adjustments for when there are known bugs that cause the game to crash and such.

It doesn't matter how many people get reported if riot does little to nothing with the information.

See, that's the catch. Unless Riot is willing to resort to NSA levels of privacy invasion there will never be a perfect way to know who left because they raged and who left because of computer issues. To League, someone who powered off their laptop and someone having a power outage look exactly the same. If they knew the person was encountering a bug they'd just design a way around the bug rather than try and excuse leaving because of it.

Riot can't force people to play the game or not rage.

no but they can ban people who do it more frequently. The fact that i am seeing so many of them tells me that either im getting insanely unlcuky which i doubt, or that riot gives people who afk/rage a slap on the wrist.

With all their focus on "people said mean words to someone and thats a super big deal" it tells me they don't really give a shit about afk's and would rather let an automated system that probably doesn't work that well take care of it.

I would like to see if you afk/ragequit a game you are banned for a day, and more than 3 times in a month you are banned for a month.

Riot bans plenty of people, which, is in and of itself sad. Just because they don't tell you about the ban doesn't mean they're not doing it.

You give Riot dimes? Through mail or do you have a secret person you meet up with who brings the dimes to Riot for you?

Depends on the reason behind quitting. If someone's being totally outrageously dickish to me, trolling me on purpose or just is an all around asshole I may not want to win as much. Consider: If you aren't good enough to carry us gentle snowflakes, then you can either lose by raging at us or just be nicer and coddle us. We're fragile. We want your love.
