Can you please do something about people going afk after lvl 6 and forcing the team to take a loss

Seriously, I've been in two games today, and multiple other games already this and last season, where players have left the game after hitting level 6 in ranked. This causes the team to have to play until 20 minutes and when we do surrender the loss is not prevented even though the enemy team clearly gains a huge advantage. I'm tired of trying to climb and having to deal with this bullshit. Either make AFK players get banned or give the team a loss prevention. It really is not that hard. If the surrender vote only has 4 people voting it should be easy to program a loss prevention. This is in solo/duo que and i know that if there is a full team of 5 than that should be disabled because it can be abused to help teammates but in solo/duo that should be a feature.

Yes life happens thousands of people and thousands of events occurring your game will never be perfect the afk / leaving system should be either removed or revamped if you have to put in a casual mode or hardcore mode that made players choose beforehand so people choose to not afk would be a better solution It would be better to have the option to not have to play seriously and just for fun let the hardcore play on toilets

Well you can't ban players for it because there are times when their power might go out due to a tree falling on a power line. That wouldn't be fair. Loss prevented wouldn't be fair to the enemy team if they are 15-0 before the AFK even happens.

I think they should at least give you the opportunity to leave without taking a penalty. Like, you still take a loss but you won't get a leaver penalty. That way, at least you still aren't stuck in a game that lasts 20 more minutes that you know you are going to lose. It is annoying to be stuck in those situations and the team won't vote yes to a FF.

It could be abused, but I do agree that leavers should eventually hit a ban way sooner.

this is just something you have to endure in bronze. it will make hitting silver so much more refreshing. something to look forward to

I get more afkers in diamond than I ever did in silver. Maybe that's just me but people love opening up mid after 1 mistake in diamond.

i have hardly seen the boards full with diamond people complaining about it. also my smurf hooks and hands is diamond even tho its dia 5 haven't really found afks to be a problem. plat 2-3 was the worst tho every other game.
