I'm normally not the type of person to ragequit and afk...

Enemy akali is 99/0? It's okay we'll play it out. Enemy botlane is collectively 0/20? We'll stall til late game.

I haven't gone afk in a single matchmade game (outside of times where our internet decides to blow up) in over 2 years.

But the place where i draw the line is when the game lags to the point of being literally unplayable. Not "hey my Q came out 3 seconds late" unplayable. But "hey my screen completely freezes for 5 seconds the instant anyone on the enemy team presses an ability and i'm unable to input anything during that time so i'm literally a sitting duck" unplayable.

It got to a point where I got so frustrated at my inability to do virtually anything that i gave up on the game entirely and quit out. Out of curiosity, I tried reseting my router first during the game to see if that was the issue and no dice.

I then tried quiting out of league entirely and loading up another game to see if the issue was actually me and... miraculously the lag is gone and my internet is fine?

Moral of the story: Server lag is one of the most frustrating things in the game. To reiterate, i'm not a toxic person. If i have beef with teamates I say it in voice chat to my friends rather than letting out my rage in game. I never afk no matter how bad a game looks. But when it gets to the point where I'm basically afk whether i decide to actually play the game or not... that's where i draw the line. /end rant

Well ya... lag sucks. But since Riot can't tell why you're lagging or AFKing/leaving game, you can still get punished for it. I've had weird ass lag where my ping won't go down, just stays at 450ish the whole game. My chrome is working fine, but my ping is just fucked. I don't think I've had it as bad as you described, so I don't know what I would do in your situation, but I usually just stay in the game being useless hoping for an early ff.

east coast ping and riots ban system back when east coast ping was finally fixed was enough to cause him to rage quit permanently he straight up asked for the perma ban.

he was 100% stuck bronze due to it the instant they fixed it he had like 60 games from bronze 4 to silver 5 as ashe jungle blitz mid panteon/regnar support and Leona/thresh top

he told me he had something like 50 promos of lol stay bronze on top of the lag. ive told this story dozens of times now and they wonder why I have animosity towards league. ive seen everything my friend spoke of first hand now. I'm cute compared to his hate its why I'm still here trying to change the cultue for the better I still like the game I just cant play it between the people and riot
