let's face it. /remake is punishing people with connection issues more than legitimate ragequitters / afks. and is unfairly harsh for what's essentially a game that never happened.
MY SOLUTION.
treat it the same as a dodge penalty. rather than taking a full loss, and change the reconnect 
hold to 5 minutes instead of 3
Zezockary3 votesThe /remake was never intended for ragequits or afkers. It is intended to let you restart games that started with one team at a disadvantage. It is a full loss because if it weren't then you could abuse it.

no more then you could abuse queuedodging
Horse Grenades1 votesThis is not true. After you get into a loading screen and see a smurf on na.op.gg you could just unplug Ethernet .. boom
Now you waste 9 other people's valuable time because you're scared
420 grams1 votescould do that with your team mates in champ select. And is playing against a smurf really fair and something we're trying to preserve anyway?
420 grams3 votesBefore remake, I never reported someone who never connected because it's usually something that's not their fault. This post isn't saying allow it for rage quitters, they're saying the people who do it to rage quit are worse than the people who flat out can't connect, so the can't connect shouldn't be punished as harshly as the rage quitters.
As far as abuse, if they didn't want to play that game, they know they had the option to que dodge and not waste additional time for the game to load and the team to vote to remake.

exactly. and turning remake into a dodge penalty instead of a leaverbuster is a perfectly fair compromise

i don't see why it's not like this already
CrazyBear19872 votesDon't take this the wrong way, But "Connection issues" is just an excuse.
There is no way for RIOT or any one here to know why you "disconnected" in the first place.
So honestly, why are you having connection issue? Bad internet? shared internet? Bad router or modem? Fix those first
League is an online multiplayer game, pretty sure it's common sense to have a decent connection before starting any game or match.
There are sites online you can go to check your ping/connection strength. Not ideal? don't play. simple.
Want to play even though your likely to DC? Play custom or coop vs ai, where it doesn;t matter if you leave or quit. and if DC while in coop, at least the AI will have on champ afk to compensate.
So again, why are you disconnecting? and please don't blame RIOT or the League client, a lot more people are connecting to the game just fine.

i wasnt blaming anyone. read the whole post before you jump to conclusions. im not asking for it to be removed. im asking it to be treated like a dodge penalty. since the only thing lost was time. not LP
CrazyBear19872 votesBut why are you have "connection issues" ?
scazzman1 votesBut why are you have "connection issues" ?
client bugs. random power outage. comcast reboots
CrazyBear19872 votesWow....
scazzman1 votesWow....
my solution is unabusable, and does not negatively impact the people /remaking
CrazyBear19872 voteswell can't stop you joining games, but your situation really makes it risky each game to not be disconnected.
No other alternatives for you? friends or family place to play?
cause one of the reasons i stop play league awhile ago was cause my internet was shit and i keep lagging and it wasn't fun anymore to play like that.
all you can hope for a is a better connection in the new season.

i believe you are mistaken. i've only been on the recieveing end of a remake TWICE . once in a ranked once in a sub 30 game on a smurf. very rarely do i have connection issues. i'm merely saying that the punishment doesnt fit the crime. andi have a solution. please go away if you are just going to try and discredit me by using strawman arguments
also. if i had my way. anyone who uses the phrase "feelsbadman" would be instantly chat restricted. as it's passive aggressive, and irritating
CrazyBear19873 votesWow, was honestly trying to understand and help. never mind. enjoy your post. im out

RyuujinKaze1 votessomething needs to be modified about the /remake system in terms of detecting a person possibly connecting to a game. it just happened to me when the client bug splatted and i ended up having to restart my PC as a result. i was able to get back on and just as soon as i reconnected to the game the /remake went into affect and i actually got to watch it scroll to the nexus and say defeat and i was actually in game when it happened. (apx 3:30 into game) but at the end of it i was counted as being the AFK / Left game status and i auto lost one game in my promo series.

basically my only quarrel with /remake is for those people in rank who suffer a loss because of their own problem. i think everyone including the person who couldn't connect shouldnt be penalized in rank or for promo win / loss count

they suffered a loss for their problem
their team didn't suffer a loss for their problem
sounds perfect to me, not like i want to play with a teammate who has 3 minute disadvantage in lane even if they reconnect, which usually don't happen
bad arcade kitty1 votesremake is literally the only good feature rito added for the recent years (not even the role queue counts, i would prefer the old queue where i could main mid ("pref mid") and sometimes play support/top/jungle instead of queueing mid/top as a some 12 y.o. because mid/support means support 90% of time)
