How often do you have a person who has a gold lead and/or a kda lead over their lane opponent afk? This is maybe 5% of afk? This tells me that "bad modem" excuse is bull$#!+ for many. How many? Sometimes you see someone ping their ping repeatedly and then they afk. OK That might be bad modem. If they reconnect at any time during the game, almost certainly bad modem. Most of these players return within 1-2 minutes at most. Sure, many of them are losing lane because of their ping issue. But everyone knows it is not intentional.
tbh a lot of afks happening in my game happen way to early that its a remake or they dc/rec/dc/rec a lot through the game.
i see RG but not as much as early dcs or bad nets
OTOH, most AFK are from someone who has never pinged their ping. Instead they spam the "?" ping on their jg (or someone else) after dying and then a moment later the game announces that this player has left the game. Chances of bad modem? ZERO. Chances of punishment? Appears to be zero or of so small of a punishment that there might as well be no punishment.
its the other way around for me, a lot either ping or do a dc/rec cycle, maybe because i play normals mostly so players are less leaning towerd rage quieting.
and anyway how do the game knows this guy is rage quieting? do they check his pings?what if it was not a ping related issue and say his job called him for an emergency or surprise guests come in ect ect.
do they check if he ping spam ? before dcing? will he can not do that anyway once they put the rule, what i am trying to say here is theres no way to punish specific dcs without hitting innocent ones along the side.
I did have bad internet issues about a year ago. Internet would occasionally die. Didn't know why. But it was always while it was windy. When I finally got ComCast to come out, they said a squirrel had chewed through half of my line. So I do sympathize a bit with the bad internet thing. But when this was going on, I didn't play ranked. I didn't want to mess with LP of myself or others. Also, when there was wind, I would start having ping spikes before it would go out. So I pinged my ping. If it went out, I would get internet back within 5 minutes almost always (at least temporarily) and would rejoin the game. But again, ... always in norms.
theres a lot of things that can make someone dcs and never reconnect , it can miss with ppl lp but those same ppl would get lp at one point from enemy dcs and that dced player have all the right to play ranked, if he dc to much he would fall in ranks anyway.
