Rage quitters and disconnects

KryptoXD·May 23, 2018·4 votes·3,365 views

I'm tired of people who completely disconnect from the game and never return, because not only does it make me frustrated but they do not get punished differently than I do. Yes, maybe they get put in low priority queue but they still lose the same LP as I do as well as still lose us the game. I think it should be different. I get random people constantly disconnecting early on in the game and it turns it into an auto-loss in ranked. Can Riot please introduce something to fix this. Maybe that everybody else on the team doesn't lose as much lp, or there could be some sort of remake function for when a random person completely disconnects from the game. It deters me from playing as much as I want to, and I'm sure it does to everyone else/

Honestly, it should be a loss prevented for everyone else, while the offending player has to take the LP loss as if they had lost five consecutive games. Seems harsh? Don't do it.

Yes thank you, Im tired of taking the same loss as the person who decides to leave completely. Maybe if players on the losing team don't lose LP and the winning team still earns their LP that way both parties would be happy. The winners don't waste their time, and the losers get to pretend like nothing happened.

This would just inflate LP gains. The only way it would be fair is if no one got LP for the game. Right now you get "free wins" when an enemy disconnects and "free loss" when your teammate disconnects. This evens it out. If you get "free win" for the former and no loss for the latter then your LP will inflate so something has to give. You didn't earn those wins but you don't get a loss either in the opposite scenario? You're just climbing for free.

Also, such a system of no LP loss for a leaver could be gamed. As in multiple people can work together to raise an account that will never lose LP.

I understand the frustration of leavers, but in my experience it happens on my team and on the enemy team equally as much. The only reason people think it only happens on their team is because they only remember those experiences. They never remember when the enemy team rages or just chalk it up to that they were so much better than the enemy that they gave up.

There's a simple solution to LP inflation. Make it so that the dc'er loses almost all of the entire team's worth of LP loss that game, and the rest of the players lose very little LP. Also, maybe slightly curtail the LP gains of the winning team since they had such an easy game.

However, in my opinion, the much bigger issue is players who queue up for ranked without having even a basic level of game knowledge and mechanics, and play so poorly that they pose just as big a problem to our team as if they had DC'ed. I'm not exaggerating.

You referring to the emergency maintenance happening right now?

KryptoXDMay 23, 20181 votes

No not at all, I'm referring to all the games where I get players disconnecting or leaving my game during ranked. Its just a coincidence that there is maintenance happening currently

why are you complaining. you will climb no matter what with those kdas just remember "patience is a virtue".

Because its annoying, and I'm not the only person that has to deal with it. There are people disconnecting all the time and its so annoying, why not have a system in place to fix it from pretty much turning into an auto loss of LP.
