I been playing this game for a while...since beta... Fun great game for most of time, but it is not fun when I play with afk or troll who goes crazy.

I had someone argues me that someone goes afk because I am a bad player, and I am the reason for losing a game. (Poloking mode) This opinion is from other player in enemy team...so I think it is fair to say I am a bad player. (and I am not a pro player...)

So, my question is ... is it ok to go afk when your team just suck? Does Riot state that you can go afk with emotional reasons?

As far as leaverbuster is concerned the reason for leaving does not matter at all. So no, it is not ok to leave when losing.

The only time leaving is excused is if riot enables loss prevented which is for widespread server issues.

Outside of a real life emergency,dont go afk in a game. There is a surrender option if your team is getting crushed.

Considering that going AFK is a reportable offense, no.

People aren't afking because you're a bad player, they're afking because they are frustrated and would rather leave than play.

It's against the rules no matter their reasoning though.
