had an almost 10min dc, obviously came back even tho i knew i wont get any lp, but im trying. we won, didnt get any LP. nothing new by now, but reconnecting isnt encouraged at all. actually the opposite. because if you dc again, the leaverbuster counts that aswell.
What are your ideas for encouraging coming back? Where is the line - should you have gotten any LP although you were afk for 1/3 of the time?
Same here
personally i feel like it's worse that you don't lose less LP when someone is gone the entire game.
You could argue people would try to abuse this, but i dont see lots of people intentionally disconnecting before 3 minutes to avoid a "sure loss".
You should be able to remake if someone DCs within the first minute or two.
The entitlement! Suck it up buttercup you didn't get any reward for afking.
The current status of leave buster is fine
Doesn't leavebuster count it as a loss if you're gone the entire game, even if your team won?
I feel that more often than not, the end result is a loss. It always feels bad.
I had recently asked the question, could those that stick it out receive a less LP loss for any team that has a person that qualifies as a leaver buster?
I know this could be abused as is. So, I would say that it only applies to teams that had the afk player over 10 minutes long. 10 minutes is certainly long enough to where it isn't clear if you will win or lose as a 5 man team. I wouldn't encourage a person to return after being out for 10 minutes since that puts the player too far behind in both gold and experience. However, I think it's fine if they return within 10 minutes to still see a comeback happen.
We are just looking at what would apply to the majority of the cases where this is true, not int-ers. I'm more interested in taking care of the players that are genuinely playing the game to climb in rank, rather than the punishment towards the afk-er.
I propose that people who disconnect during the game but outside the remake window and then later return and play the game to completion should see a reduced punishment.
I'm not sure how leaverbusters are handed out but its highly possible its a point system informed by player reports. The leaver "points" you earn at the end of a game where you disconnected can be halved, so long as you aren't reported.
As for LP, the loss can be halved or perhaps you can earn a portion of it back from game timed played. Earn back x% of LP per minute played after disconnect. Again, this applies so long as you aren't reported.
Riot would have to fix its report review bots to suss out people abusing the system, and also to advocate for the player who disconnected. People report purely out of frustration, especially when people go afk for any reason.
Wouldn't it be nice if Rito could make different leavebuster timers for different offences.
Let's say you crashed in client and resulted in a remake meaning nobody lost LP or significant time: 5 minutes X 5
AFK for 5-10 minutes but winning the game: No leavebuster needed (srsly U came back and played the game out and won fairly)
AFKed early and never came back: 20 mins X 5
AFK for 5-10 mins but loosing: 10 mins X5 (Not that long of an afk)
But rly the best thing to do is fix the client and crashes when going in game.[zombie-brand-mindblown]
One idea would be to seperate between Ragequit (Leave after death in most cases) and DC (leave before death in most cases if it happens on accident)
In case of RQ give no reward when he comes back, even if it is after minute (maybe even count as loss, to punish ragequitting)
On DC an reward might be a good thing, then give reward based on time AFK, the longer afk, the smaller the reward
I had a computer crash once. I had dissconected for 4 mintes, about 15 mins in, in what ended up being a 40 min game. At the end of the game it was my KDA and objecitve dmg, while top and mid had been feeding bot jungle and I managed to clean up.
I contributed to the win, and got no LP or honer because my PC crashed.
Not cool, imo.
