PSA: AFKing or DCing in ANY game mode is reportable and bannable.

Let's put this into perspective, turning a 5v5 into a 4v5, especially in a game like URF is no fun for the 4 side. I had a game recently where a Corki just suddenly left and never came back without a word, so I said "report Corki afk."

The enemy response pissed me off; "Lol it's just URF"

Yes I know, thanks for clarifying, stupid. What I'm saying is it's no fun at all regardless of what game mode when you're getting stomped in a 5v4 bloodbath.

psa: saying "report xy pls" is also against the rules psa: you dont need to report a guy who goes afk. leavebuster triggers as soon as he leaves and gives hima a strike psa: group reporting has no bigger effect than a single report

but yes every mode shares the same rules

How many games does it take going AFK from to get banned roughly though ^_^ seems like it would have to be a constant issue ?

As far as the automated system goes, never. Low priority que caps out at 20 minutes for 5 games. The only way to actually get banned from AFKing is if someone notices you doing it consistently and sends in a ticket to support.

Besides Rage Quitting, or Leaving a game because of a troll there are actual Real Life legitimate reasons to end up leaving a game I have always questioned since people take AFKing so seriously if your elderly grandmother takes a bad fall, should you go away from your keyboard to help her or ask her to hold on for 20 minutes, or tell a person having a heart-attack to hold on and wait while you finish their game because you can't go get their EPI-Pen injection because League OF Legends is more important.

Like honestly there are other situations where AFKing might be imo excusable due to weather related reasons, or natural disasters (Yes I understand a player going afk 5 times a week is always an issue, but I hope RIot never starts banning someone for going afk in 1 game out of every few months if even that or something.

I have actually hear of a case where parents neglected their baby because Video Games were more important, I hope this never becomes a issue with League OF Legends where a player puts the game first while there is a Real Life emergency, I already have told myself IRL that if I know something happens with my Elderly parents I am going to drop my game to go help them if I know about it, even my RL job at work if an emergency comes up.
