AFK
I know from experience that reporting other people does not make the game better, in fact i find that I am usually matched with worse players and trolls when I report, hence why I have stopped reporting.
My other concern, is that recently I was placed in a low priority queue for 5 games twice, because I had been afk for the first couple of minutes in my game and the team voted for a remake. Unfortunately, I was afk for actual proper personal reasons, and I did return to the game both times within a minute or so from it being voted a remake. But, they are the rules and I will cop that. But in doing the remake, my team is not disadvantaged or suffer a loss, apart for about 10 mins of time lost. And personally again, I do find that the games that I was in the low priority queue, I was matched with a much lower skilled team then the enemy teams, but I know that Riot will deny that occurs...but...it comes a time when coincidences just happen to often.
Anyway, I just played a ranked game where the singed on my team fed 4 kills to the enemy team, then went afk and did not return. We obviously lost as we just could not out damage/tank the enemy team 4v5. In losing the match, I lost 18LP. So, i would like to know what will happen to summoner Kantong12 (the singed in the game) as he went afk and I am aware that the team had reported him.
What I am getting at is, my gripe is that if I am punished 5 low priority queues (and matched with obviously lower quality team mates) for being the cause of the remake, and that remake does not disadvantage my team.....shouldn't a player going afk throughout the game where the team can't remake and will most likely suffer a loss and loss of LP, shouldn't that player be punished more than a player who causes the remake?
I also extend an offer to the Riot team to duo queue with me on the OCE servers, because I sometimes think that they don't actually know how hard the grind is at the lower elo's, and if they duo'd with us plebs at lower elos, they just might have to face the facts on the either shortcomings of the game, or the intentional setup of the game match making to ensure that there are a large number of players that fill the lower ranks.
Don't get me wrong Riot, I am not for one second saying that I should be challenger and I am not blaming my teams for losing, I am blaming the AFK's, and the matching me with these obvious beginners or trolls that are quite obviously out played by superior enemy teams.
I am interested in what response Riot would have for this.
