I don't care if you have a baby

You don't get freebies to afk and ruin games. If you KNOW you have something which could pull you away from the game at literally any second, don't queue up. Play something single player until you are totally free.

If you have to afk until everyone else is level 11 while you are level 1 you deserve afk consequences.

There are totally random things that happen and people can't prevent that so ya sometimes someone goes afk and that's just life. However when you KNOW you are responsible for stuff (on call for work, pizza coming, need to leave for class, cooking stuff, TAKING CARE OF A BABY) it's very obvious the chance of you needing to afk is super high and just play something else where you can get up and go

Where did you get the impression that they get freebies?

The leaver buster system is completely impartial, you leave, you get punished. End of story.

They were asking not to be reported by our team because they felt like it was a legitimate excuse to be afk for 10 minutes at a time. I realize the auotmated system can still penalize them. Whether or not they get penalized, them leaving the game still hurts the experience for our team since we get shit on all game until we forfeit. Thats just not fun when it was entirely due to an afk

This thread was more about my opinion that you should not queue up at all if you have something which is extremely likely to pull you away from the computer constantly. For example you are taking care of a baby, like this guy said he was. It is very likely he can't commit to the game.

Someone says to you

"I have a responsibility which has a 75% chance to pull me away from the computer every 5 minutes, for 10 minutes at a time. Should i queue up to play league?"

My point is just that the answer to that is no, regardless of what that responsibility is

I agree with the op. If you have a child, you just have to accept that you can't play as much as you'd like- if at all.

I have a three year old. I've never left a game because of her (missed a queue here and there but that's it). I make sure I have enough time. You being completely insensitive isn't ok. People who leave, regardless of excuse have to deal with leaver buster. Simple as that.
