I want my LP...

Leugiier·9/30/2019, 11:12:36 PM·1 votes·2,197 views

I got disconnected, and my connection is usually good, but this game I got dc-ed and it took about 5 mins to get my connection back. I came back to a game, my team was still winning.. And I tried my best to win the game, just so I get -19 lp once the game was done...

Like what is stopping me next time from not giving my best once I reconnect?? Of course, I won't int or anything, but I won't feel like I need to play for LP cause I know it's lost anyways for me (or anyone that is in that situation)

This is first time that this happened to me, and if there will be next time, I don't think I'll be trying my best.. Not because I don't want to, but rather because I know what's gonna happen once the game ends (won or lost), and it will give me no motivation or will to play it whatsoever.

I'll put this in a "player behaviour" tag because it actually will heavily impact my behaviour next time something like this happens (I hope it won't happen though)

EDIT: And yes, I was carried this game, but if I didn't play like I wanted to win, game could've gone the other direction..

Your team carried the game while you were away. Your connection problems are not their problem.

Oh, so you're threatening to be a jerk because of your own computer problems? Yikes.

It's unfortunate that it's coded that way, i agree that you shouldn't be punished if the team wins and you come back not trolling. That LP loss should probably start on the second game of the day where you disconnect at the least. With probably some sort of weekly limit check set in as well.

Yeah. Ive been in that situation. That's actually how I learned you dont get LP. I had the same reaction, like what... why??? I did my best and obviously we wouldve lost if I didnt come back. I still helped the team win, I just disconnected for like 10% of the game. I know it sucks to leave the team in a 4v5, but I still came back as fast as I could and tried my best to help the team win. Im not exactly sure why it is set up that way. Meh.
