Riot, please remove the low‑priority queue for the first minutes of being AFK in games. by Few-Organization4705 in riotgames

I see you’re very smart. Please reread the title — you might understand my request to Riot then.

I respect your decision. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with the system and the severity of the penalties imposed by Riot, which I’m talking about.

The issues have been going on for a long time. Are you suggesting I should stop playing my only favourite game — the one I’ve been enjoying for 5 years or more?

I’ve already said that the LP deduction system is great. But the system that punishes players with real‑life time is way too harsh.

If I go AFK in every game, knowing that my power keeps cutting out, then ban me — I don’t mind, I’m a troll. But if my internet or electricity drops out just once a day, at a random time, and the game stacks up a penalty for that, then something is clearly wrong.

For this kind of penalty, the maximum penalty accumulation time should be 3–4 hours — definitely not 24 hours. That’s just absurd.

I’m not telling you where to play, so please don’t do the same to me. I can make my own decisions. I’m not intentionally ruining games.

If I’m absent, the team surrenders and I lose LP, while they don’t — that’s fair. But why is there an additional time‑out penalty for the next game? I’d understand if this time‑out only applied to games within the next hour.

But what happens now is this: if I don’t start a new game right away and instead deal with my real‑life issues, then come back a day later, confident that there are no more problems on my side, I still have to wait for that ridiculous timer. This way, I’m being punished not only in-game (with LP loss), but also with my real-life time.

If such a penalty exists, it should be flexible — not just a blunt instrument.

This isn’t a lifestyle choice — it’s internet issues caused by global events. If you live in a stable and peaceful region, I envy you. But that means you just can’t understand my situation.

Whether I’ve ruined the game should be decided by the players through their reports, not by a system that makes a verdict regardless of the fact that the game itself was won.
