Hey guys and League of Legends team,
I just want to propose a solution for afk players in ranked. It could happen in normal for any reason but in ranked ? The punishment must be strict. Not about elo, but about being banned from ranked matches. After time, it would solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for working about it,
I'd personally disagree with anything different for dodging champ select, it's the only time you can dodge from people that you know 100% will be toxic.
I'd agree with a TEMPORARY ban from ranked matches after hitting the loading screen. In addition to what the system already does (longer queue times), Maybe instead of an additional time based ban (multiple account workaround), make a game based 'ban'.
For example, if someone afk's enough often enough in ranked, they'd get a message saying that because they've been afk'ing their ranked games, they're temporarily locked out from ranked and they have the 10 minute queues. Then a quest would appear with something along the lines of this: "play X games on summoner rift. Reward: unlock ranked" I'd set X at 5 or so personally, but that's just a random number.
This way, if something that you can't control comes up (power outage), it's only slightly more 'punishing' than a normal afk game.
Short and simple. I like it OP. people who afk/disc in a game are usually lower elo so the loss to LP does nothing. Also the "low priority que" does absolutely nothing imo. all it does is force ppl. to watch an episode of w/e series before playing.
Ranked should be more competetive.
I mean you already get a loss of LP, and low priority queue. So the problem does kind of take care of itself as those who go AFK too often are pushed to the very bottom. However, I think it is worth pointing out that most of the reasons someone might have to afk in ranked are the same as normal. Some things such as sudden power outages are hard to predict, or things like family emergencies will always come before a video game whether ranked or not. So as frustrating as it is (and believe me, my promos to gold this year had an afk on my team for all three games. When I reached it again an AFK in 2 of my games) a harsher punishment wouldn't really make anything better I don't think, and would feel very unfair if you had to leave due to forces outside your control.
Youre so right they should get punisehd hard for going afk but it looks for me that the tribunal isnt working the right way cause there are too many player which ragequit in Gold elo or below its not normal anymore in S9! Trolls and flamers should get punished too to give the serious player a chance and to get a better community ;)
