Unfair AFK punishments.

Beastleh·Mar 21, 2016·3 votes·2,990 views

I have these weird low priority ques because I couldn't connect to a game. Something went wrong in the files or something after that last patch. When I went to connect it would say it failed to connect no matter what. If you ask me, this is a Riot Mistake. I reinstalled and repaired and I fixed it but now I'm punished for an AFK that was Riots fault. Why? Shouldn't we get a few AFKs free, in case like, you have to leave? What if Someone in my family needed me right away? Not only is Grandma hurt, but I get punished too? AFTER 1 AFK? My grandmother is not hurt, that was hypothetical, but still you get it. It's a fucking poor shit system and I hope riot gives half a shit about it one day. One fucking AFK over something I have no control over. You can even look up my last game. Volibear. Never connected. Never had a fucking chance. I don't deserve this.

Anything outside of ritos fault (which I think is rare) should have a punishment imo

Yea you may have a true emergency, but afk'ing one time for an emergency really has no punishment.

You do actually get a warning and then they can ban you and besides it does more good than it does harm so its fine.

I never got a single warning. This is my first AFK in literal fucking MONTHS. LAst time was about 6 month ago I had to go to work for an emergency. I got punished for that too. Where is my warning? and how is a 20 minute que time good at all? Even if someone was an actual frequent AFKer what does this do? They still get in games and can still AFK.

???????????????

The warning is the message you typed 'I Agree' to. It happened before you were ever given any low priority queues.

Okay... But I don't remember that. That probably was years ago. Before I ever took this game seriously. I never AFK. I try so hard to avoid leaving games. The one time there is a bug with the client and it's out of my control, I get punished. IS this really fair?

If you haven't had an AFK or dc in a while, you won't be punished. Every once in a while I have a game where I disconnect due to my internet acting up, and I never get punished. In fact, just last week I missed an entire game due to the power going out right as the game started. No punishment.

So for some reason my account is getting harsher punishments. I never afk.

"I never afk." "I never leave games." "I never flame people." "I am a good president." -Barack Obama "The next Ghostbusters will be good." -Sony Bots

You are lying, sir. Last examples added there for humor.

If you're not going to say anything useful don't post. You understood what I mean, and you had to shitpost.

MasterSomethingMar 22, 20162 votes

Quoting common (and famous) lies isn't contributing to the post? I did heard what you said, but you have no way to prove you meant it. Yes, I did have to shitpost, because they are funny to do.

Also, every time a Sony Bot claims the next Ghostbusters will be good, the code that programs them dies a little.

Its kinda flawed in both ways. You can get DC'd for the first time in months and get put into a low priorty que. Its also flawed in the way that you can purposely leave as many games as you want, and not get anything more than a low priority que.
