If a player is detected AFK more than 3 minutes at any point the surrender option is up.
also around the time of the HUGE mage update (April/May'ish), I noticed AFK takes a MUCH longer time to detect so a player can be idle in lane for almost 5 minutes.
asamu1 votesI'd like them to make it so a game isn't counted for the losing team if a player was disconnected/AFK for at least half the duration of the game, with an automatic surrender vote started if they are gone for at least ~3 minutes for a remake (unless the game has been going for 20+ minutes before the disconnect)... Ofc, the AFK/DC, and people who were queued with them would have to suffer penalties to avoid abuse.
I don't mind people getting points for winning a 5v4, but losing points and being demoted because of it feels awful.
Jetjoe1 votesI agree with you, and facing penalty for an AFK is certainly not fair. I do stick with, if someone is AFK more than 3 minutes, no matter when during the game, the surrender option should be available.
The player who AFK'ed should take the loss and be punished, and not just in ranked in normals as well. No one's time should be wasted in any scenario because of some asshole with a shitty computer. My girlfriend has absolute shit wifi and a shitty computer and AFKS in ranked for periods of 5+ minutes atleast 5-6 times a week. 6 months in and nothing has happened to her account.
