First off I just wanted to say i completely deserved the ban I am a very toxic player. Second off I just wanted to know what if anything Riot is doing about afks in games. I have played about 45 games the past week and ATLEAST 20 of those games has had someone afk for more than 5 minutes. This puts me on tilt and I let it out in chat which is a bad idea but this is ridiculous. No one ever gets banned for afking and there is NEVER loss forgiven for teams that have an afk from minute one which is ridiculous and quite pathetic. Thanks for any information. Sorry for bad English not my native language.

I'd rather a AFK then toxic rage every time...AFK team trys to work together, Raging Jerk people no longer want to play teamwork, spend to much time typing insults or just go on tilt because of what was said to them...

I know most won't agree but that's fine this is how I feel :)

I think banned player nicks should be exposed. It would helps a lot showing that reporting works and Riot does something against all kind of toxic behavior.

yeah afks ruin the game way more than raging or shit talking ever will

Not necessarily. Leaving the game is not always on purpose. I even sometimes have to leave a game and it's not on purpose. The fact that someone is yelling and screaming and just trying to be rude is always on purpose, because it's not like your keyboard typed it for you, correct? Because you can go AFK because you got the BSoD, because you have places to be, etc.

Yes Lyte has mentioned they're finishing up a system that will mean no punshment/loss for every player but the one that AFK'd. I believe it'll be coming out sometime during the preseason(later rather than sooner).

Link?

It was a comment by Lyte a little while back on a post which I don't remember what it was about :/ and even if I did remember, with the way searching for threads on this board is I'd never find it

So it's possible I was mistaken on what he specifically what he was talking about, but that was the gist of it

I thought the system was to handle games where a player fails to connect, not a loss forgiveness system if the player leaves mid-game?

You might be right, I don't remember exactly what Lyte mentioned. But it would make sense if it's a full scale project that they would make it detect for someone that is AFK in game because someone not connecting would be pretty easy to implement
