Riot needs to be harsher on AFK players

imo when 4+ people report someone, Riot needs to have a live person look into this and find stuff like this in chat

This should be a perma ban, no questions asked. This isn't a DC, or an emergency, this guy admits to leaving just to spite our ADC for taking a red buff

Already reported him, bet your ass I'm gonna OP.GG him for a week and find him still playing.

Now that that's all said and done, what's wrong with some of these people?

Riot can't even get make a system that detects inters what makes you think they'll make one for afks. They'll never have a manual review for games, it's costly and it'd cut into their profits too much, they're a business after all.

I agree. but riot should not tell players if they implement this because it will lead to people gang reporting someone for any reason even if it isn't against the rules

LeaveBuster does not required ANY report to work. You get hit with LeaveBuster as soon as you afk for more than 5 minutes before anyone even have a chance to report you post game. Reporting post game then would do nothing because the person already got hit with LeaveBuster.

If 4+ reports would trigger a manual review, you will see a lot more "report xxx ty" being spammed in chat. It would leads to a negative environment and at worst, get other people punished for report calling. If you want someone manually reviewed, you can already send in a support ticket detailing what happened and call attention to the chat where they said they will intentionally afk. Why create a new redundant system that likely ends in negative "report xxx" chat that potentially gets other people punished for something that required 0 report to work? https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us is here if you want someone manually reviewed without needed 4+ reports.

You CANNOT visually see Low Priority Queue from someone's match history. It goes without saying that if you stalk his account for a week, you will be able to detect nothing from it and he would still be playing because LB's highest punishment is 20 minutes LPQ. It does not mean he did not get punished for it though, but you will never know it because LB never send feedback notice and it is not possible to know if someone got LPQ.

so if they have a legitimate issue such as power going out, or internet service they should be permabanned? How about nah.

"chill yi" and "Comon man" (with a face as well, which doesn't help) are not how you make someone turn around and actually play. both these comments have an attitude to them.

If you typed simply "play please" "dont afk please" he probably would have played.

Also, seek 1st to understand than to be understood.

Important quote people should remember always. People are too busy saying their biased opinions instead of thinking about what someone is telling them.

players who AFK should probably be teamed with other players who AFK, to verse people who also AFK.
