There is no reason why Riot should not increase punishment for AFK/DC

Riot should increase punishment from a small time penalty to a full day, if not longer. It aims to reduce the sheer amount of people who are afk/dcing from games and it is a harsh lesson that should be learned after one or two instances. At this point, it is too easy to get away with leaving a game. If a player has a computer that cannot handle the current state of the game, then that is their own fault. This should not be at the expense of other players in the game.

Curious to hear the input of others. What are the cons to increasing these penalties to day(s), instead of minutes.

Side note: Would love for Reds to address top posts on the boards as quickly as they address posts that are apparently posted on incorrect boards. Currently, we have some pretty big problems with the game and the player-base that need addressing by a Red.

I agree with you but it will fall on deaf ears because eliminating these assholes who play on shit systems or just leave to leave will eliminate income for RIOT. The state of the game is obviously not a concern of theirs. RIOT has smart people working for them who are the dumbest people in the world because they don't have the common sense to clean up this garbage and by doing so will make the game more inviting to others.
