"Don't worry guys as long as he farms up and stays positive we'll win!" <-- HE WAS STILL AFK MY TEAM MATE WAS JUST MOCKING HOW RIOT DEALS WITH THIS PROBLEM. (OR HOW THEY DON'T DEAL WITH IT AT ALL) He was still afk. And no, we didn't win nor did we enjoy playing. Prioritize your afk problems before you act like a preschool teacher plz rito.
Nanuk Pihoqahiak3 votesThe problem I have with teams in a 4v5 is that they automatically give up before twenty minutes. Yes, it's MUCH harder to win lacking one of your roles, but I've personally won a lot of 4v5s. I had a ranked game two seasons ago where we won something like 27-1 with our jungle Shyvana having never connected. A team ruins its chances of winning before 20 minutes if they decide the game isn't worth playing.
Samus723 votesDid you report them for being AFK? Even if the guy holding a gun up to a bank teller who says "Please" and "thank you" when he demands the money, he's still breaking the law.
If you didn't report the nice man, that's your choice. But I wouldn't see a lot of humor in it.
Crett1 votesThe AFK wasn't the one making the joke
Z Statistic2 votesDid...did you just equate afking in a video game with threatening to kill another human being? Sure they're both against the rules, but holy shit use a hypothetical situation that is of roughly equivalent wrongness.

Did you just hear a "Whoooooooooooooooosh!?" Because my point when right over your head. Shame on you.
The POINT is that just because you're polite when you break the rules doesn't in anyway negate the fact that you are breaking the rules.
Z Statistic2 votesThen just say that. There's no reason to bring attempted murder into a discussion about afks. Hyperboles are unbecoming.

My entire point was that it doesn't matter if he's afk if hes not cursing in the chat because Riot doesn't prioritize the game. They care more about unicorn farts in the chat rather than a real issue like afking, which is ACTUALLY ruining the game.
And he clearly wasn't nice because he was still afk.
Troll Armada1 votesthis.
on the other hand, it's much easier to build a fuzzy logic AI to filter for bad words than it is to idientify gameplay which is toxic : (
Troll Armada2 votesI feel the frustration in your voice, but you got to understand the point of view and feeling of the non-traditional tool using league players.
many are growing up in nihilist morality-free zones, where right and wrong don't apply to them, so from their point of view, you are the evil person for ruining their fun.

Ignorance of the law rarely allows you to escape the law's effects when you break it. "I didn't know I could not park my car there" usually doesn't stop the police from writing you a ticket if they want to.
The whole "My parents didn't teach me right from wrong" excuse is only going to work so many times before it's dismissed.
I'm not frustrated. But if you get in trouble doing things you're not supposed to do, that's not my fault.
Troll Armada1 votes...but now let's imagine you are black man and parked illegally in Alabama, versus a blonde lady with large titties, which do you think will circumvent the law on a regular basis?
You're at fault because you are making those cheaters feel bad about what they are doing. If you go to various integrity-challenged communities, they are all friendly with each other and supportive of their goals and aspirations.
70640285DEL12 votesLol. If I was you, I wouldn't have known whether to laugh or cry...
PIMPSMOOTH1 votesTroll Armada1 votesIs this what they call a "humanizer" ?
Like I had this kat in one game, and I was especially chatty that game, and noticed that she/he would reply "same" to almost everything I said, so I started saying random crap but ending/starting it with various words designed to post a rhetorical question, and found that kat always said "same"
...up until like the very end, when apparently, the script got cut off and replaced with angry player hurling profanities at me and telling me that since I knew what it was that I must also be using them... he sounded like I had woken him up.
Samus721 votesWhoa! You can't play the race card. That is NOT cool.
There is a reason why the Lady of Justice statue has a bandage around her eyes. The law, and game rules, should be applied equally to everyone regardless.
A person playing League must participate. If they go AFK, nice person or not, if they are reported for being AFK, Riot will punish them for it. Just as the player standing there talking smack would be if they were not participating and someone reported them.
After that one, I'm no longer participating in this discussion.

i cant tell if you're joking what race card
Sythriel Draken1 votesHeroes of the storm solves the AFK problem by implementing an intermediate level bot in place of the player until he/she comes back. I wish riot would do something similar because it's getting too obvious that with certain champions it's impossible to make a comeback on a 4v5.

i dont like having bots on my team, but i do agree with their other system. Match leavers with leavers. No punishment needed.
