low priority queue should not be a thing, or it should not go over a 5 minute wait time, if you have to go leave and do something then you have to go you cant always stay because you are playing some game. and its ridiculous how it goes over 5 min because they you have to wait over an hour total just to get into a game and if something else happens then it restarts, so 1 believe that low priority queue should not be a thing or should not go past 5 minutes.
XanaxTyler1 votesYes and no. I feel like if its norms or anything BUT ranked, then it shouldn't really matter. I do however think its bs that you get low prio queues for dodging a game before it starts
ampheon1 votesLPQ is typically gotten for repeat offenses, and is therefore directed at people who intentionally AFK during a game for malicious reasons. Unfortunately, Riot cannot determine why you left a game, or what circumstances happened to you, so they have to resort to this measure, as regular AFKers cannot go unpunished. So, if you believe that you'll need to do something in the next 20 - 60 mins then don't play the game. If you have regular power outages don't play. If you have a family member in the hospital who you may have to go to at anytime then don't play.
Now, for unforeseeable events (relative fainting, fire starting), the first offense won't usually result in anything. Multiple offenses usually means that you, unfortunately, shouldn't be playing a game that takes 20 - 60 mins per match. Usually this can be avoided by asking your parents if they have anything that they'd like you to do, or if you live alone, ensure that the house is safe so no emergencies happen.
If, for whatever reason, you are always being interrupted, then play a MOBA that has a shorter average game length, such as Heroes of the Storm, Battlerite, Overwatch, or Paladins.
Although you may see this as 'just a game' others may not, and may have a limited amount of time to have fun and you not ensuring that you will be unlikely to have to leave when starting a game, or starting a game when you know you can be called can result in the small amount of time they allotted to go to waste, by playing a losing 4v5 rather than an 'even' 5v5.
itsnotme5671 votesexactly last paragraph, you say people may have limited time to play, so they if you get into a LPQ then you wont be able to lay at all bc you have to wait forever, and you never know is you need to do something or if anything will happen, and that way max time should be no highe than 10 mins.
ampheon1 votes{quoted}you say people may have limited time to play, so they if you get into a LPQ then you wont be able to lay at all bc you have to wait forever,
If some has a limited time to play whether it's usually because of one of two reasons: they have a certain time they have to do something (such as leaving to go school/work or go to bed), in which case the only option they have is to start playing early, and to ensure that most, if not all variables that could take them away from the game are taken care of; or there is something that they'd like to do, such as eating food, doing homework, or studying, which can b started in the 20 mins that the lengthier LPQ lasts.
and you never know is you need to do something or if anything will happen, and that way max time should be no highe than 10 mins.
While it is true that you'll never know what may happen, the system is set up that you usually won't get LPQ on your first offense in a certain time span. If a problem does disconnect you from the game, it is advisable not to play until you can figure out how often the problem will be, or how often something can happen, and if it is random then you choose the option of not playing (so that you don't waste other people's times).
While this isn't currently the best possible way for multiple disconnects to be handled, it is the best way that Riot sees, since they are unable to monitor your every move and determine someone who intentional left a game from one who was simply unlucky. Keep in mind that Riot does this to punish people who intentionally leave games, this is just an unfortunate side effect.
itsnotme5671 votesok but if you intentionally leave a game you would be playing then leave, if you loose internet or go to do something you would go afk for a bit then leave so its kinda easy to know if its intentional or not
ampheon1 votesI don't know if this happens or not, or if there are any other variables, but if this does currently happen, how does Riot distinguish between a person who has lost their connection accidentally due to a blackout from one who simply plugged their router out?
itsnotme5671 voteshahahahahahaha no one is gonna unplug their router just to leave a game, stop trying to make stufff up so you can be right because your wrong
ampheon1 votesAnd what, pray tell, would stop someone from plugging out heir router to leave the game if they know they can prevent an LP loss? Plugging out your router is a fairly simple process, and very little work is required to do so, even less if the person plays it close to the router. An even easier method would be to plug out your ethernet cord (if you use one), but your laptop or computer may automatically try to connect to the internet, so you'd have to set your laptop or computer in advance.
itsnotme5671 voteseven then if you lose internet it would try to reconect you, and you cannot predic what you will do in a 1-60 min time span so you cant ask a parent if there is anything you need to do becuae they wont know
ampheon1 votesIf you lose your internet connection and it doesn't return for a long time, lets says for a day, how would Riot know that you attempted to reconnect since you had no internet connection?
An understanding parent can easily know what they want in an hour, and even more understanding ones will understand a multiplayer game cannot be paused regardless and can make plans around it. Children usually get a set of chores to do a parent can simply remember this list and remind the child to do said chores. If the chores are random, then the parent can either tell the child what chores they need to do now, and what chores can be expected in an hour.
Since this concept may be difficult for you to grasp here are a few things a parent will be able to predict that their child will need to do: wash the plates, sweep an area, tidy their room, make their bed, wash their clothes, clean/tidy the kitchen or any other part of the house and much others. Things a parent will not be able to predict: a sudden call from a teacher to come in, a call from the hospital telling him/her a family member is ill, any other emergency.
Now, the things with emergencies are that, if you have a well maintained home or a relatively stable life and family they should not happen often. If an 'emergency' happens often then you can either try to get your parent to fix the problem, or not play a game of League of Legends with 9 (or 5) other people, since you know that you can be called at anytime.
itsnotme5671 voteskid you just dont understand do you, you cannoty redict the future so you dont know what gonna happen in a time span and no one is gonna have parents that says " feed dogs at 3:00 take out trash and 4:00 clean room at 4:30" they are just gonna tell you to do it
ampheon1 votesLet me correct that: you don't have parents who say "feed dogs at 3:00 take out trash and 4:00 clean room at 4:30". It is fairly simple (and easy) to give a child scheduled chores, as it allows for them to be better organized, and teaches them the importance of organization. And while it is true that no one can predict the future, the fact remains that LPQs are given when someone disconnects multiple times in a length of time determined by Riot. If you are being called randomly for that many reason, it means you have a general emergency in your house, or simply unreasonable, unorganized parents who cannot plan ahead to save their life. In this case the player should play a game with a shorter game length, such as Battlerite, Hereos of the Storm or even Transformice, to offset this.
Also, a bit unfair to call me a 'kid' when you neither know my age, nor have you bothered to properly spell or punctuate the majority of your responses. Perhaps, instead of believing that you're always right, you could read my responses and attempt to understand, but if you refuse to I cannot force you. If you truly want a change that Riot will consider looking at then perhaps you should be willing to debate, rather than looking down on whomever decides to argue against your point. While I have have counter-argued your points, your only responses were to either repeat what you said, or claim that my points are invalid under the assumption I don't understand. I'm not sure what 'kid' would flesh out their thoughts like this, especially not one who is entering college soon.
itsnotme5671 voteswelp sorry teacher that i dont really care about my grammar or punctuation, and maybe you should read my responses and attempt to understand.
ampheon1 votesI understand hat you're trying to say, but you're basing this on one: the assumption that parents lack total foresight/planning or that they are completely irrational, and that, It is completely impossible to predict an emergency. While the latter is true, if your life is in a constant state of emergency (which you would know if you have an emergency everyday, which is what you're suggesting) then the person should play a game that can be left at any time, paused or is short. When you play a game of League of Legends Riot expects you to not only devote your own time, but also to respect the time of everyone else, which includes not playing if you know that you can be called at anytime.
Of course, this will most likely fall on deaf ears, and there is no convincing you to believe otherwise, so I end my responses here.
