Hello, Riot. My Friend has over 200 games of AFK or Leaving out of his 1000 this league And his punishment is only Low priority Q with waiting time
I have games with chat flame and my account got permanently banned. We want justice I know you love banning accounts for Real Life Money based on EXP/IP Boosts. But is this a real justice or capitalism. RIOTMAFIA

Why shouldn't it be treated the same as chat bans? At least if someone is flaming people but still playing, they are there. The person who is AFK or leaving is not and that means it's 4v5. This type of toxicity, and it sure the hell is toxic, is worse than chat toxicity because you can't mute an AFK or a leaver. I don't understand for the life of me why RIOT lacks the common sense on this subject to treat it the same. It tells you how great the leadership is at this company that they allow this type of behavior to exist with only a slap on the wrist, which LPQ is.

No. Its not worse. Someone who is toxic in chat has intention to hurt someone personally. Afking/Leaving is normal in online gaming. Real life should always be priority. Every game handles Afking as minor offense. IF game would start heavily punishing for afking/leaving it would send message how players should prioritize game over everything. It would completely ruin Riots reputation as company.

We are talking about frequent AFK's/leavers and not spur of the moment real life incidents. Those will not lead to a trip to LPQ. You are right, real life is a priority and that should be taken into account before logging on. If an individual finds that their real life is interfering with their game time then maybe they need to prioritize better and not screw other people with their terrible planning. It's about making people responsible for their actions just like RIOT feels the need to discipline chat toxicity that can be muted. You and RIOT apparently don't understand that you simply can't mute an irresponsible AFK/leaver and everything be ok when you are down a man.

Well frequent AFK is already punished, but i can guarantee u ,very rarely do u come across "frequent afker". Just because u had 3 different afkers in 5 games, doesnt mean those 3 are afking frequently. You dont need to mute AFK/leaver. You ignore it. It doesnt matter. ITs not your problem.

You are dead wrong but w/e. How you can guarantee I rarely come across frequent AFK's/leavers when LPQ is full of them is beyond me. It is my problem when it affects my game. They get slapped on the wrist and that's a punishment? LOL. Ok dude. It's toxic no matter what definition your mind wishes to address it as and it leads to other toxic behavior. What is rare however are responsible gamers.

How is it your problem? Lets say, i play with you, i have to go afk, you lose game. Now, i may get punished, or not. You wont know. Unless we are both challengers, chance to meet again is extremely low. Just because i got punished, doesnt mean Jimmy over there wont have to go afk in your next game. Will my punishment affect someone else afking in your next game? No of course not. Same as banning toxic player in one game , doesnt mean you wont have toxic player next game. THAT is why its not your problem.
Frequent afkers already get punished by LPQ as you said. Thats enough punishment

It happens a lot and it gets annoying. It's just as toxic as any other type of toxicity. It's a problem that is growing because the slap on the wrist that RIOT gives isn't working and that's why it continues to grow. I am very sorry that you are unable to understand this and continue to sit in your own little passive world. It's ok. You are who you are. I will never agree with you because you refuse to look at the big picture. I will never understand how you can justify this blatant toxicity. Have a nice day.
ModPeriscope1 votesWouldn't banning accounts unjustly discourage people spending money on this game? At least you understand you flamed in games. Act toxic enough, and you get banned. You should have been told of an impending permaban in your previous punishment.
As for your friend, if he wanted to wait 20 minutes just to get into queue, that's good enough for me. I have no idea if they punish players for chronic afk's, but I'd believe they would based on how they deal with chronic problems.
kaellidor2 votesits not really a punishment if they can do other things like watch videos on their phones or something imo. challenger players go 30 min in que and just play other games waiting.
ModPeriscope1 votesIt sounded like his "friend afk'ing 200 in 1000 games" story was bogus. Apparently worse punishments await chronic offenders.

I think that was exaggerating to prove a point :)
kaleb bartlett1 votesI think that was exaggerating to prove a point :)
Except that if his 'friend' had been afking in 1/5th of his total games, he would be getting action taken on the account. Exaggeration isn't a good way to make a point.
FightORFlight1 votesSure... those long 20 min queues might not matter to the player but what about his friends? I consistently play with group of 3-4 people one of whom is chronic leaver and we actually don't allow him into our group until he clears his number of games... so if you look at it at that angle... i don't think after such experience anyone would go back to massive one after another leaving habit (i know my friends didn't).
EDIT: I guess you are one of those angry banned players for saying some pretty harsh words and now you want everyone to feel that way... I seriously can't understand that you don't think threatening another mans life is same as leaving a game... Put the situation in real life... Two men in a bar. They are about to go at it when someone realizes it's better that he went home. Same situation but noone had it in them to leave so they fight (attack at each others life) and you can't spot the difference? When you verbally attack a troll online and threaten him the only thing stopping you from stabbing him is computer screen... face to face situation i'm sure you would have killed the man. Now ofc you would argue that there is no intention of actual harm involved but in the affect that you type those nasty messages i believe it's pretty damn close to what killers feel when commiting crime of passion
