what to do with afk or disconnected players

hello lol community iv been thinking about this and i don't know if this problem ever happens to you or not but for example the game just starts and a player already disconnects from the game and is gone until about 15 min into game they decide to come back into the game by this time there level is so low that all they can pretty much do is hangout by the tower for the rest of the game or what happens in the games i play they just think being behind 3 or 4 levels don't mean anything and they try to go full ham on the other player...example 2 they are playing really bad and by this point they have had enough and decide to just go afk and stand at base putting the rest of the team at a large disadvantage because if we were to team fight we would be missing a part of the team and walking into a 4v5...what do you guys the community think we should do about this big problem that seems to be getting worse and worse everyday...in my unprofessional idea of the game i think by the player afking or just rage quitting there should be a bot put into his place put on intermediate and the bot should play the rest of the game for the rage quitting or disconnected player

I've been late loading into games before where I'm level 1 and everyone else are between levels 4 and 6. I was still able to pull weight and was only behind 2 levels the highest level person at the win. But Rage Quitting and going AFK for stupid periods of time angers me to no end at times so I will these need to be dealt with.

i'm not saying it's impossible to play from 3 or 4 levels back i was just pointing out how hard it would be for anybody to do anything productive when there so far behind in levels and items...and your right it is very annoying for those who play the game to learn and get better

I really like your idea but the problem is sometimes it says a person quit when they only disconnected so it might cause some conflict there. My idea was that someone could join the game a replace that player somehow (i doubt that would work anyway) and my idea has the same problem and is most likely to complicated to work.

But i do like your idea!! It is a great problem solver. :)

ty it is a problem because people don't realize how much of a disadvantage there putting the team at when they do that stuff by leaving or rage quitting from the game.

i think so aswell but i think riot really needs to fix this problem because it seems to me it's happening more and more everyday

Then we have something in common! To me it seams like some times they quit when they can't handle their teammates any more or they are just doing bad. But SOMETIMES i have noticed that when they quit it is not purposeful. I had a friend her brother turned off her laptop... so some times it is hard to know when they quit on purpose and they don't which ether way it still makes problems...

hahaha agreed m8...i have been doing a little reading on the subject and i see what you mean by the on purpose or just getting disconnected thing and it is impossible to tell if somebody is doing it on purpose or if it's the connection to the servers game in general but it still put the whole team at risk of losing and also losing lp points because of it...i think riot needs to spend a little more time doing some research on games where people leave on purpose or get disconnected so that the rest of us who are really trying don't lose lp point for the mistake of one player

If there was someway that they could see if a person disconnected or left the game that would be really nice. Because it is the ban that is also a problem. I've seen my friends reported for leaving the game when they didn't. It was just that the other people got mad at them. So i think that the area of bans could use some work also.
