Should prompt "Are you still there?" at random intervals during the 20 minutes, and have the equivalent of a declined ready check if someone fails to answer one of the prompts.
Those leavers should have to stare a the LPQ box for the full duration!
I'm broken on this one.
On one hand, yes, it kinda defeats (most of) the purpose of the punishment if the person who intentionally left just alt-tabs and plays a different game while they wait it out with little to no inconvenience.
On the other hand, forcing someone to stare at the LPQ box seems like an unnecessary punishment to those that got slapped with the LPQ because of several recent internet/computer/irl problems.
Maybe make the suggested prompt-version LPQ as a punishment escalation after the current, non-prompt, version.
Edit: As pointed out to me in this thread chain, the 20min LPQ is one of the later punishments that leavebuster hands out after several previous punishments.
excessive
why would we have to watch low priority queue for 20 minutes, what would that accomplish other than just have really tilted people get into game which would lead to more inting flaming and leaving. This is just a terrible idea.
If you can afford waiting for 20 minutes before the game and then play full game, you have to plan your time or not join the game. It's not exactly "LPQ" but it's good as it is.
Yeah uh, that's when you make a new account, cause NOBODY has time to stare at a 20 minute box with random popups FIVE TIMES.
That's 1.5 hours. And an interruption when other windows are open.
So no, even though I FUCKING HATE LEAVERS, that's when you say goodbye to that account.
No one in their right mind would waste their time with that.
I do not understand the LPQ at all. If a player DC'd or AFK that many games then just give them a ban for a few days, or allow them to only play a certain amount of ranked each day. The point of the matter is LPQ just does not make any sense at all either give them a short term ban, followed by a long term ban, followed by a perm ban. There cant be a reason that someone would DC. I would give the benefit of the doubt of 1-2 games a week, with shotty internet, power outages, real life emergencies, and whatever. I have never been in LPQ ever and I do not believe this should be a thing.
I think that an idea similar to your’s is what is needed. Instead of a default of these checkpoints, maybe somebody can click on a button to tell the bot “I will be AFK during the LPQ” and it won’t give the checkpoint. Maybe Riot could add in something that runs some kind of background check to see if the person is actually AFK or they are just using it as an excuse to not get the checkpoints and play another game or do something else on computer. If they click that they will not be AFK, the bot will do a pop up like the accept match one. With more happening closer to the end of the LPQ timer. Something like one at the 15 mark, one at the ten, one at 5, then two or three during the last 5 min of the LPQ.
The only solution is to use vpn
Their is this guy that has turd in his name and he is mean he insulted the players in the game
LPQ is a joke. Seriously, pop queue and browse the internet or play another game for ~20mins. How is this considered punishment? It's a mild annoyance at best. Serve out short bans (hours to days) instead.
(~10mins left on my queue)
