A potential way to remind people to not leave mid game

I just had a thought that could help with the problem of people leaving in the middle of a game. What if riot were to put a marker in the queues saying the average length of the game mode chosen (e.g summoners rift 25-40 minutes or whatever it actually is). It would be a small change that could just remind people that if they don't have much time maybe they shouldn't queue.

It wouldn't stop it entirely but it would remind some people.

Just a spitball idea, lemme know of improvements or anything [slayer-jinx-catface]

if im not mistaken when you select a game type it tells you how long it normally lasts for

So, the issue here is that people who don’t care about time management won’t suddenly care because of this. Unfortunately I see this having little if any benefit.

That being said, this costs about 5 seconds to implement - maybe even just have it as a rotating tip in the loading screen (wouldn’t solve it but would constantly remind people anyway, and this only takes 5 seconds to implement).
