Leavers/AFK/Quiters

[quote=MetallicaFreak]Ok, I know this has been talked about and addressed and continues to be revamped and changed, but there has to be something that Riot can do to punish players who go AFK or Quit. When a match becomes 3v2 or 5v4 the other team gets a severe handicap and will almost always lose unless the opposing team is just extremely unquardinated. I just played a match TT and about 3 minutes in one of our teammates said " be back in 2 mins" 13 minutes later still no teammate and we got our butts kicked and surrendered at 16 cause the other team was taking to long to kill us. So the player who went AFK wont even get a leaver status because he never left game he just left the keyboard. Instinces like these make me not want to play this game anymore. I realize people have real life stuff that comes up, however, I have played well over 200 matches and I only left 1 game ONE, because I had something come up, if you have a time constraint plz do not start a new match. Anyway back to my point. There is not sever enough punishments for going AFK or leaving games. If there was a steeper penalty for leaving matches i feel like it would happen much less often. I dont know what else i can do, everytime someone leaves or quits or goes afk I always report them and I still feel the bitter sting almost every 3 or 4 matches where someone leaves. I dont know what else i can do, but Riot you NEED to fix this its broken and people who leave continue to do it day in and day out.[/quote]

[quote=Read]I agree stuff does come up. But most of the time it is stuff they already knew about. Like for instance "Hurry up I have to meet people in 5 minutes." Or "I have dinner soon. I'm like Wtf can you not tell if dinner is on its way. "But my favorite is "I have to go at xyz time because I have raid." Screw WoW[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]I can understand your frustrations, but this isnt the place for this topic. The official forums would be better for this. But since you asked for for some feedback, here is my view. If you dont like leavers, AFKers, and quiters, than dont solo que. Get some friends you know well and go in. If you have any issues with pugs and premades that you arens a part of, than get premades yourself. That will solve your issues[/quote]

[quote=Read]Wow. You have to remeber that this is a place of discussion as well. Sometimes people feel more comfortable making comments here. Sometimes they have insight as well. Besides, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on the sight to bounce ideas off of. I use it as a sounding board often before I go to the official forums. Sometimes its better to vent to your brother than to yell at your parents. Ya know[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]I get what you saying, I really do, but thats just my view of it. I solo que a lot, and when I get teamed with leavers, quiters, and AFKers, I start premades. Its easier to deal with, and there is not frustrations. Im sorry if I sounded like an ass, or if I sounded condisending. Not my intention I assure you.[/quote]

[quote=Read]Lolz. I know what you mean. But you kinda sort of said he sucked, was in the wrong place, and had no friends. I kinda ROFLed but I know what your saying.[/quote]

[quote=MetallicaFreak]Its not that I don't have any friends its just most of them aren't on when I am I mean I have a ton of people on my friends list but none that I really know or play with on a regular basis. Also I posted here first to not only get some ideas from people, but the LOL site wont let me post because for some reason I can't agree to the summoners code when I click to post and when I go into account management the page wont load. So I posted here first. That and the whole quitting thing just happened and I really needed to vent somewhere lol.[/quote]

[quote=Read]No need to defend yourself. You should check out some of the other threads for people to play with. A lot of the time you can friend some people that play regularly.[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]Im one of them regular players. I do spend a lot of time tinkering though so if we play, bare with lol[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Yeah I understand bro, there is a huge problem with people who AFK and leave, and well Riot cant really do anything about it, shit happens in real =/... Joining a premade is the best solution, and this is where I would like to remind people that we do have a Mobafire group in LoL... Simply join the group chat "Mobafire" (with the capital M).. I myself being a part of the EU mobafire chat, with bross, scrax, freezero, shadowfiji and so many other players! We play premades, and general have fun (I have been having huge win streaks with epic scores because of these mobafire premades) Not too sure about the US one, but im sure we got some great players like Jebus, wrath and hypershatter there (just to name a few) who create premades[/quote]
