AFKs In Ranked

ERROR 4Ø4·Jan 19, 2018·3 votes·1,005 views

Riot. please do more to combat AFK players in ranked games. I've lost 4 games due to afk players. They should automatically be demoted and banned for a week. It kills the game for everyone on the team. Games with a player going AFK should NOT count as a loss. Its stupid that I lose my LP because 1 ahole rage quits or decided he doesn't want to finish the game.

Please fix this problem. It is a major fault in your ranking system. Players that afk should be punished not the people on there team.

Ok even if they get punished. the people on the team also get punished by losing a game and loosing LP. Also if your in your promos you now have a loss. its pretty stupid the hole team suffers because of 1 player and the other team gets a free win.

Riot gives you a free win the next time you enter your promos.

And if you honestly belong in the next tier, it shouldn't be hard to get back into your promos

I didn't get gold last season, not because of AFKs, but because of people inting 3 games in a row in my promos.

Rank afks are severely punished already. There is a close to 1-2% protection though for leaving as Riot assumes that something out of your control will happen every so many games. That being said there is absolutely nothing that stops people from buying fresh new accounts and using those in rank matches once their old accounts are punished.

Sweetheart it's not low priority queue, it's a 14 day suspension. Low priority is what you get whne you're still in the 1% range.

My game sometimes lag or crash for no reason and i cannot reconnect afterwards because it crash in loading screen aswell and message pop up saying "you have been disconnected" and i keep trying and trying but still cannot reconnect. So not everyone plants to afk it might be client problems
