Afk Penalty

THEHOUNDOFHEAVEN·8/2/2018, 9:18:59 AM·2 votes·2,763 views

I really get why Its important to punish an afk player for abandoning his team as everyone plays an Important role every match. But why does a player have to be punished when he gets connection issues? I have over 20 mins ban in my NA west Account. I carry my team for a whole match then I got a penalty cause I disconnected while we were attacking the enemy Crystal.

20min means that you had other leaverbusters before for leaving. The system cant tell the difference between a unintentional and a intentional dc (pulling the plug and just dcing), so it punishes both the same way to prevent abuse. If your team was already attacking the nexus, so only a few seconds left and you dc you wouldnt get a leaverbuster.

Get a stable connection or do not play online games.

BTW i don't think you get leaver buster if you win instantly after disconnecting, I saw streamers to simply quit and dont wait the animation of the exploding nexus etc... (I am not sure about this, but the first part is still relevant)

I have the opposite issue where afkers dont get punished. Like one time i had this garen afk right after 3 min so we could not remake. He was not punished. Its annoying and I think riot needs to do more to punish afkers.

You get 3 strikes. The third time, you get punished. It's a machine. Not a human. O e thing I wish they'd fux is make it so it works mireike a dodge queue but 5 time for 20 minutes so I don't have to stare at the overlay and I can look at other shit while I wait and I can play tp2 and practice my rollouts as soldier or run around as fat scout (heavy with shotgun only and mostly the family businesses variant and I don't know why it's not multiclass like the panic attack) then when the queue is ready after I'm done with tf2, I can find a game.

I know. When you accrue the 20 minute wait time because you still que up with a bad connection and can't buy a clue, your next offense should reward you by banning your account permanently.
