Need severe punishments for quitting or afking in ranked.

Granark··3 votes·4,381 views

It has become to the point where the culture of this game is making ranked play not a competitive environment. In almost every few games there will be a player that will start having extremely negative chat such as saying ff, 15, etc, after one death. They will then ensue to afk when surrender votes are rejected. Not every match is going to start in someone's favor. The professional matches do not surrender or quit. There needs to be severe punishment in ranked even if it is due to internet.

A tool should be added to the client to allow users to check connection stability for a few minutes to ensure their internet has a good connection to the game.

Players that disconnect or afk should be disabled from rank game play for 30 days per policy checked by automation bots for inactivity.

This is a dire situation for the state of ranked play. Sure, some people will have bad performance in any game, any sport; but it is not accepted culture to just quit. This is becoming accepted culture in lol and should be stopped quickly and harshly before it gets worse.

I can't agree with you more. Riot seems really strict on matter of toxicity (which is okay) but when it comes to AFKing in ranked, they don't seem to care much. And in my opinion, that negatively affects the game much more. You can always mute someone if its that bad, but you cant bring in a 5th man. 1 afk should be 30 days and go up from there.

In a just world, leaving a ranked game would result in the leaver eating the entire LP loss for the other 4 people they forced into a loss.

I guarantee the great majority of these "internet problems" would go away if you burned most of an entire league of LP because you ragequit.

May need to split between a Duo (or trio in flex) to prevent any sacrificial accounts taking one for a friend. Would also be worried about people trying to bully someone into leaving.

So if they quit, they lose 5x LP (pretty much a whole rank) and the rest of the team loses nothing. If they feed and refuse to quit they only lose normal LP and the rest of the team also loses?

I hate when people leave, but I don't see how this would make things bettwr.

I mean, that is sorta the point if LPQ to ny understanding. Making sure your connection is stable for 20 minutes (max penalty) before finding a game.

In theory. The low priority queue punishment is nothing more than a minor annoyance. 30 minutes for 5 games. It's literally an episode of a TV programme.

Pretty much all legitimate trolls just sit in base though.

That's how they dodge lpq 99% of the time

I agree but not just ranked, normals as well. I don't care if people think normals dont matter, it's still a game where I have to play. It's not like it's nothing. It's my time being wasted when others leave whether it is ranked or normals. I am still at a disadvantage 4v5 with someone leaving. The punishment should also apply to normals too.

Idk about 30 days, but yeah perhaps something definitely more severe than what we have now.
