Checking if Reports are legitimate

The Fury141··3 votes·2,960 views

I have been reported for the past few games for being AFK when I was playing and NOW because people didn't like my play style I get put in the low priority queue. Seriously? Does anyone else have this problem?

I suggest they take some time to review these reports because lets be honest, a hell of a lot of them are done out of anger and spite. I'm livid that I have to wait 20 minutes just to play League. It is a huge turn off.

As far as I know reports get legitimatize by what you report them for. Examples like, if you report someone for trash talking, but they didn't use chat would be thrown out because they can't be trash talking if they didn't use the chat. Or like for your situation, you report someone for all, but they were playing.

Although for your situations I will say as far as I know LPQ isn't linked with reports. The system only punishes you when it detects you were afk. This also goes with people trying to trick the system, like if you were sitting in base, or just dilly dally around/not playing the game. So if you were punished with LPQ it's because the system caught you being afk!

I do play that is the god damn problem. It says that I was afk in multiple games, which recently my computer crashed and I cam back but the teams were already remade. Out of my hands. One mistake and I get low priority que? I would understand if it were multiple occasions but I DO NOT GO AFK.

If that is the case then we need to have them look over their program because it obviously had flaws.

Reports don't have any effect on low priority queue. You get put in that queue because Riot detected you were afk. Stop afking.

If your computer crashed once, you would not have any sort of penalty, and would have to type 'I Agree' to the leaver buster warning.

Then, if you left more games, you would have a 5 minute queue penalty.

If you left more you'd have a 10 minute penalty.

If you left more, you'd have a 20 minute penalty.

You would not arrive at a 20 minute penalty, or any penalty, for a single crash.

I've been Tantram since playing Dark Age of Camelot in 2001. Before that, I had a number of (not as good) IGNs.

Well I got none of that, straight to the 20min no warning.

You dont get low priority queue for anything but afk or leaverbuster.

The Fury1411 votes

Well I got none of that, straight to the 20min no warning. That's why it probably came from reports.

What exactly is your playstyle that the system is viewing as you being afk?

The Fury1411 votes

I am a very aggressive player, which is why I don't understand my ban.

The Fury1411 votes

I take chances and I try to create openings. That is what I do.

Mig891 votes

You dont get low priority queue for anything but afk or leaverbuster. If you got reported for int feeding youd have a different kind of ban.

The Fury1411 votes

They report AFK.

SmokedAlmonds2 votes

If you were here banned for intentional feeding that would make sense.

But what could possibly be both aggressive and make you seem afk? Those two things are kinda on opposite sides of the spectrum.

The Fury1411 votes

Exactly! My computer crashed, I didn't even get 5 minutes to reconnect. No chance to reconnect at all. (this was recently) then I get hit with an afk low priority for "multiple games afk" when a remake was needed for 1.

SmokedAlmonds2 votes

So is that what this is about? A DC leading to a leaverbuster? Because that is working as intended not any kind of mistake.

The Fury1411 votes

That isn't, my computer crashed, once. I should not get a leave buster for that. I play my games and refuse to surrender. I don't like losing like a wuss. I will not leave and if I DC I come back. But I don't even get the chance to anymore after that remake thing. I always got back in the game.

SmokedAlmonds2 votes

It being a crash doesn't change anything about the situation.

Frequent technical issues are just as much a target of leaverbuster as rage quitters, not collateral damage.

You are talking about a 20 min low priority queue, that is chronic leaver status.

The Fury1411 votes

I. DON'T. A. F. K. It was a 1 time crash. If they are including the games that happened YEARS ago that is bull. I don't leave games, period. I don't know how many times I have to say it. It happen ONCE. ONE TIME. The number is ONE. Seriously I don't know how many times I have to say it. That is my problem.

SmokedAlmonds2 votes

It wasn't for one time. You are just drawing your own arbitrary line where you think the past shouldn't count.

I donno how far it goes back but it seems pretty far. A while back I had a string of different things happen in about a 2 week period that caused me to leave 4 games and I expected to get my first low priority queue on both the 3rd and 4th leave but it never happened. I have no doubt I was reported in those games and the only reason I can see for not being punished is my history of thousands of games with very few leaves. I think before those 4 leaves I had about 5 leaves in 5000 games.

You can work off that history but you need to play significant amounts of games without leaving or disconnecting to prove that things have improved. It takes a significant amount of games, though. Think like 100+ games per leaverbuster punishment you have received.

The Fury1411 votes

Thank you, that makes some sense. It has been a very long time since I've afk'd, but I guess I'll have to play more.
