Instant Feedback or Instant Failure

I just concluded a wonderful game of league of legends in which my jungle quinn died top in a failed gank attempt and proceeded to instantly rage and afk. I know we all get an afk here and there, that's part of something that you have to deal with in this game. However, I had some misguided faith that the "instant feedback" system would help me out when I reported this player. My hopes were shattered as in my very next queue, who do I see but the one and only incredible afk quinn from 30 seconds ago. If this system is not decent enough to properly ban an afk'er, there should at least be a system implemented to where you CANNOT be placed in a queue with the same player you JUST REPORTED for afk.

So, 2 things:

  1. What you're thinking about is actually LeaveBuster, not Instant Feedback. LeaveBuster is what deals with AFKers, whereas Instant Feedback mostly deals with behavioral and other types of reports.
  2. If the Quinn did rage quit and leave the game, there is no way they could have queued up "30 seconds" right after your game ended. Even for a first time leave bust, you have to wait about 5-6 minutes. I've had it happen to me a few times where my internet takes a shit on everything, and I come back with a small queue delay. Nothing bad, but it's impossible for Quinn to rejoin your queue that fast after the game ended.

Which leaves me with two answers:

  1. Quinn didn't actually ragequit, and mostly just "AFK'd" at the fountain, but never disconnected from the game. LeaveBuster can detect this after a certain period of inactivity and slap a delay accordingly, but that's also assuming they remained AFK for at least 3 minutes of no activity (I think that's the quickest it can detect during a match, unsure though).

  2. Quinn did ragequit, but isn't a chronic ragequitter. So they were slapped with a small queue delay, and joined back in after it was finished. Meaning you didn't queue up literally 30 seconds after your game finished. Chances are you both queued up after more time passed, thus her ability to end up in the same game as you.

But don't get me wrong, your report is still needed and does work! But from what you described it seems like Quinn isn't a repeated quitter, so reporting wouldn't result in an instant ban/punishment. The most she would receive is a LeaveBuster delay. However, you can get suspended or banned from AFKing too much, so don't think people can get away with AFKing scott-free. It just takes a bit more to make sure these players are AFKing multiple times, and that it's not a one time happenstance. At this point though, her account is flagged for review, and if she continues to rage quit in multiple games then you bet your tushie she'll get hit with the hammer with either 30 minute queue delays, or suspension/ban.

I hope that helps :)
