Force periodic captcha just before a game starts

I just got done playing a game where the carry was never any place productive (sitting in a midway bush nowhere near farm while a teamfight was in another lane), she didn't speak at all, went 0/8/2 at the end, and had a farm of 41 at the end of the 35 minute match (acceptable for supports, but an absolute no-no for carries). I dare you to try to convince me that a human was playing, because I am convinced the reverse is true. If league is going to live for years to come, this bot business has to stop. Make players do periodic captcha checks before they enter a game, because I'm fed up with the game even without these fake players. I don't care if it's ranked or not, the rest of us are trashing our precious free time.

Leave buster should be able to handle most afk-ers. Also, report them for AFK because AFK doesn't just mean sitting in the fountain. AFK includes not contributing to the game. So if you're running around base, that's still AFK. If you're running around the jungle and not ganking and not helping with objectives, that's still AFK.

You can farm in a lane and still be considered AFK if you don't contribute to team fights, don't contribute to objectives, or otherwise don't contribute to actually winning the game.

dont think that would fix anything. consider this: if it was a "bot" someone still had to log into a league account, click the queue , roles a champ, etc for the game to even start. all of this tells the game/riot that someone is doing this. if you dont lock in bans it kicks you etc. so someone had to do all this get in game and then let the "bot program" play

Standard captcha can be reliably solved by computers (where you type out what is spelled). And those captchas where you have to click the pictures are a pain in the ass, most of the time they are so ambiguous (do I count the tile with a sliver of a sign in it?) that I have to go through several of them.

I brought up this idea a long time ago and now I see another thread. Let's see if it's a popularity contest.

In before a mod locks this for being "too old"
