dude literally named [REMOVED BY MODERATION-NO NAMING AND SHAMING] afk in fountain all game, connected. loss of lp because riot cant make a simple if statement code?

heres an excel formula for ya buds. if(and(player not connected at 3min, player in fountain for 5min+), LP forgiveness, not LP forgiveness).

please don't let players like this have accounts. IP ban if y ou have to.

EDIT: for those extra slow people out there. I never said he left fountain. I never said he played the game. I never said he typed. I never said that he played AT ALL. From the beginning of spawn to 22 min he NEVER left fountain. You're saying that's fine and completely not flawed??

Oh good idea. This hasn't been proposed 1231 times today with all the same flaws as them all if you take 3 milliseconds to think about it and why they probably won't do it.

No name and shame on the Boards. Please remove the name or a moderator will do it for you.

The system you're proposing is incredibly simple and could be abused by anyone willing to take a hit for their team, be they randoms or in a premade. Bot got first blooded early and finished the game 0/20? Afk for 5 minutes and everyone gets off scott-free. You were going to lose the game anyway, right? If the system were that easy to implement, Riot probably would have done it already.

Also, IP bans are functionally useless for a number of reasons, the main ones being that IP addresses can be changed at will and VPNs exist.

Just because Rito can, doesn't mean they should

Are you also OK with gaining no LP if the enemy team has an AFK?

How familiar are you with the riot code? For the game and client, as both are relevant?
