Question about AFK'ing

Mikis·Feb 7, 2018·1 votes·380 views

So I played a winnable game and then someone called doorbell, ofc I went to look for a second (I didnt plan to AFK for more than 1min) and when I opened the door there were those people who do surveys, since Im too shy? (or strange LOL) i couldnt send them away....so i chatted through all my game without being able to tell "im not interested sorry"....all because im too strange/shy/whatever is wrong with me. Now the question is how will this 1 game of AFK hurt my ability to get honor? Why Im asking because I never go afk (apart from now....) and Im never toxic, so how will this 1 game of afk affect me? Will it have no impact like a raindrop in sea because I dont plan to go afk in never (last time I went afk was few hundred games back (again with those stupid survey people...they come at the worst time when im playing....)) or will this set back me from getting honor 3 like a week or so?

LeaverBuster has no connection to the honor system. You're good.

So I know about the punishment system and how it punishes on how frequently you afk or do other bad things, but to clarify, this 1 game of AFK wont affect me if I dont leave in lets say next 20 games? (ofc as I said I have no intention to leave or be toxic :) )

I don't know the specifics of exactly how long LeaverBuster looks back, but I know it has some leeway built in. Additionally, the worst punishment it can give is low priority queue, so even if you do get that it's not the biggest deal in the world.

Well thanks for clarifying, but low priority queue wouldnt be as fun, because ARAM queue is already 3min+ for me for whatever reason (sometimes as short as 1min and sometimes as long as 6min....)

Aram queues have a tendency to be more random than the champs you get in it. Especially depending on what time you play them. It's not that big a deal really. I've played the heck outta it. I'm not sure if you reach to the point that you receive a real punishment if it affects your honor or if that only happens when you receive a toxicity punishment. Wish we could be of more help on that.
