AFK Players in Ranked Games

DonkeySchwonk··4 votes·684 views

I am so tired of losing lp and getting de-ranked, because I can not win a 4v5. Y'all have a system that shows when a player is AFK after a match so I can only assume that it would be easy to have it not effect the losing teams ranked stats. I have had many occasions of people AFK or never connecting and losing important matches. Such as promotional matches, placement matches, and them getting me de-ranked. Please do something.

Are you reporting them for AFKing?

If its a client issue there's nothing to punish.

Since the game is free and the time from 1-30 isn't that long, people not too invested in accounts will misbehave on it. Also smurfs don't care if they are banned on one account when they have several.

Yeah if its due to the client then that would make sense and would really suck. But when they are doing it on purpose though its another thing entirely.

Remember the recent Kog KogMaw bug? And how he was considered op and top pick right around before that bug?

That's a huge amount of people that are disconnected and 4v5. So yeah.

Oh wow! Damn! O_o That had to suck! What was the bug though? I kinda forgot, I saw what it was in the patch notes but I don't remember the specifics.

I don't know but it would pretty much d/c the kog at the start or something.

He had another bug now that I went and checked:

Patch Notes

Kog'Maw WHY AREN'T THEY MELTING Fixed a bug that caused on-hit effects to deal significantly reduced damage while W - Bio-Arcane Barrage was active

That was probably part of it too.

Riot doesn't give a flying fuck about them or intentional feeders in ranked. What good is reporting them when you aren't getting BACK the lost ranking that these afkers and intentional feeders cost you? It's really retarded that they have a system in place at the end of the game, yet have nothing in place that rewards players for reporting these players who have not only cost you the game, but cost you MMR,ETC.
