STRICT AUTO-BANNING SYSTEM

CryoVesper··4 votes·570 views

Hello RIOT,

Here is a great idea in order to bring justice and help better the community that faces AFK/DC every single day wether is intentionally or not since seems that is not taken seriously.

So yes, I've decided to post this because today I've had 5 consecutive DC and AFK in ranked bringing me down from 1 win away to successfully completing promos to risk of deranking; And you might say its only me, well its teams of five, so that was other 20 people that lost games and LP because of this, not only this but many other games to many other people that come across this issue every single day.

Now, my idea to improve behaviour on this its based on a harsh, strict and merciless auto-ban system. The way it should work, is uppon dc'ing an automated message will be sent to the player indicating that they have 5-10 minute window in order to reconnect by all means necessary, if the summoner fails to do this they will receive a 24hr account ban, yes, automatically and will have to avoid this from happening again in the next 48hrs. If sucessfully avoided the timer resets, however if it where to happen again, within the 48hr period said account will be banned automatically for 7 days and the window to reset this will be of 96hrs after the ban has been lifted.

At this point there should be improved behavior on the account/player.

If the issue were to persist then the ban will be for 2 weeks, and will have to avoid dc'ing for a week and a half; again, if the summoner fails to do this, then the account will be automatically banned for 31 days, time window after the ban is lifted will be 2 weeks and a half that the summoner will have to avoid dc'ing by all means necessary.

I personally think that at this point should be enough for someone to start taking seriously the intentionally dc'ing and afk.

However, to really enforce this rule, if after the 31days happens again; the summoner will be given a last call, the account will be banned for 62 days and after the ban is lifted 30 days window in order to avois dc'ing, last call message will state that if the summoner were to fail to meet the parameters the account will then be permenantly banned.

Yes, i do know that it is harsh and merciless thats why in addition this should be only implemented on ranked ques. Why? Because it had happened to me that, yes i've dc'td because my internet goes down, power goes off, etc. But the constant intentionally dc'ing is not good either for the other thousands of player that are afected by this daily. Therefore just in ranked games so if the player knows that they are likely to encounter this issues that could happen to anyone, then will be like a kind request to stay away from ranked and ruining the game for others. That way, ranked will be taken with more care and summoners will make sure they can play the entire match before joining one.

In the afk aspect, to follow close the same guidelines and time to shortened for those who afk.

Ps: im sorry if there is grammar mistakes, i wrote this as fast as i could and yes, i was tilted but im better now. I just ask something to be done about it. I would like to see who out there has encounter the same issues or if others think this would be an understandable addition.

So if I have a blackout, or my internet decides to not work because reasons I should get a 24h ban? Bullshit.

I do understand your point, however this is not set in stone and is just an idea for a ban system to be implemented. Yes, we all know that stuff happens to anyone at any time, that is why I also stated to be done in just ranked ques. Ban length/time will be up to riot.

Blackouts and other legitimate reasons for DC'ing are usually problems that last long enough or be at risk of recurring in short order. Blocking the player from playing another game right afterwards is beneficial regardless of why they DC'd because

  1. If they DC'd due to power outage or instability, their situation is likely to still be unstable so soon after a 10 minute long DC, and

  2. if they were just rage-quitting and hoping to play the next game then at least they don't get to have what they want after ruining the game for 9 other people and hurting 4 other people's MMR. By removing the reward they expect to get, the system punishes them for selfishly harming other players and eventually they will learn not to do it since they get no benefit anymore.

I really like your point which made me think now that instead of a complete ban could be a suspension, the Ranked Que will be suspended for the account, this being said, 24hr suspension for ranked que, however the player can still play normals/customs.

What do you think?

Maybe, it would solve half of the problem, and certainly might be punishment enough to teach them. However I'm more in favor of a 12hr suspension for all pvp queues.

I understand where you're going, but what are we going to do to make it so the system can distinguish between intentional DCs and issues that are out of their control? (Power outage, ISP service interruption)

Although I rarely get DCed by my ISP or have power outages, it has happened to me in the past. I would be pretty upset if I, a player that has never intentionally left a game and never plans to, were to get punished for something like this.

for a first time offender the punishment isn't bad for all the numerous, countless times that I get ppl d/c'ing compared to the times my isp decides to cut my inet unannounced, I'm all for this.

As i stated on the reply to @HalcyonDweller 's comment above, how about suspension. As of right now LoL only has Bans, which the account will be suspended on its entirety, however what if a Que suspension were to be implemented; for example: Player disconnects for X reason and/or intentionally, the Ranked Que for this account will be disabled for 24hrs, and so on. Much like the Dodging but quite a bit more severe.
