Leaving during a game/punishment

Dracogenes·Feb 1, 2019·1 votes·2,708 views

I feel as if RIOT needs to increase the punishment for leaving a game, I have played numerous games in the past where one or more people will leave at any point in the game due to rage, anger and frustration either with themselves or with others, and I never feel as though they are getting punished enough for leaver buster to do anything. One of my more recent games was my last straw, I had a taric afk before the 5min mark because he felt as though his adc would not follow up, he completely disconnected from the game (so he better get punished). Then within the next 8mins my wukong fully disconnects (also better be recieving a punishment) and then my 2 other teammates sat on the step.

I am a person who believes in never surrendering, that is because I have experienced many comebacks, some allowed me to win, and some caused me to lose. I know from experience that random things can happen and turn the game around. Part of my philosophy of not surrendering is that if I am gonna take the time to play a game, I am gonna make sure, that I play the game, not quit after 15 or 20 mins. My friends do not always like that I always say no to a surrender, but they also admit that it has gotten them some wins that they did not believe they would get.

If anyone is gonna prepare to play a game, then play the game, its not hard to do, so I do wish even if someone just sits on the fountain and gives up, they should also be punished and because I feel that leaverbuster does not always punish those people or not well enough, I feel like if some reports others for leaving/afk, they should also receive an instant feedback report like other reports do.

Some people have the idea that well if they leave then they can just start another one, and I understand that, sometimes I feel that way, but just because one or more people are having a bad game and not enjoying it, does not mean that they can speak for everyone. Thye only times I do not have fun, is when someone leaves and even then, I can sometimes still make it fun in other ways, I have won numerous 4v5,3v5,2v5 and ONE 1v5 (game crashed and I was the only one able to reconnect after 10 mins). And its things like those past games, even if we win because of a fluke, we still win, and last time I checked winning, is more fun, then losing.

you almost had an upvote from me cause you never surrender and i like that in people. playing to the end. but then i withdraw my upvote cause you think having fun is winning. that is not true. even in a losing game you can have fun. long as you can respect each other on the team and even the enemy team. giving words of encouragement and being kind to each other. by showing kindness to others rather than flaming at them and getting pissy you are more likely to have a better game. losing a game is not reportable in any form. being toxic is. you lose a game just shrug and say "oh well GG" and go to the next. you get nasty with players and eventually the system will bust you for it and you'll be given punishments.

Your right actually, I do have fun sometimes when we lose, but I feel like the people who leave the games have that mentality of losing = no fun.

that is cause they are Play to Win players. they don't care about anything except winning and if they are not winning they don't want to waste their time playing to begin with. i see it allot. when they are not winning they try to spam surrender even when it doesn't go through.

So then heres a question/theory, isn't leaving a game actually take more time then just playing the game out? If you afk or leave mid game, not only can you not do anthing on league for the rest of the game until the game is done (unless you have another account), and then deal with the time delay of the punishment (which there should be)? Like it seems ridiculous to me that people get away with this, personally, I feel that people leaving and going afk is one of if not the biggest issue that players have and experience and RIOT should have a harsher punishment for it.

that i agree with. you chose to start a round when you knew how long a game would take. if you can't put in effort to play a game to the end don't start it to begin with. there is no reason to leave the game or surrender mid way.

just cost me LP because the Jhin connects with 2000 ping and his support a yas who is complaining that i am ganking other lanes and although i got him 4 kills says my ganks aren't good enough.. this game is easily the most irritating game with some of the highest highs and rage induced lows with amount of toxicity that exists because even when you report this stuff you still see these guys not banned by looking at match histories a day later
