Well, a perfect solution for ranked is this:

If you really go AFK, and you get reported then convicted. All the ELO loss is poured onto you and restored to teammates.


I recall a developer saying they wouldn't go for a system similar to the above, because it gives teams a reason to berate teammates into leaving a losing game (if say you were afk during champ select, but return at the start of the game).


Yes well, thats rubbish. Teams already deteriorate badly when they are losing.


what? It's bad now, but there's no way that implementing that system wouldn't make it worse. I'm absolutely certain that if they did that then it would go from annoying to unbearable. I mean there's a reason /ignore exists, but that just seems silly.

This point boggles my mind. If the majority of champion select AFKs have historically occurred after picks/bans have already started I have very little to say beyond "wtf are people doing?".

They get d/ced, lose power, PCs crash, bugsplat, client bugs out (e.g. refuses to accept a champion pick, doesn't load champions), etc.


Those things happen, but not with sufficient frequency to account for a majority of champion select AFKs, even taken in aggregate. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if they occurred with the frequency necessary to support your position I highly doubt that there would be very many players like myself who only encounter these problems once every 100-300 games.

To be clear, I'm not saying the current matchmaking system is flawless, only that it boggles my mind how many people must be going AFK after they accept.

It's also against the whole principle of "elo should be a measure of skill. Not a way to punish dodgers"

I might just be bad, but do you just auto attack to do damage is nunu? His kit feels incredibly weird for me. I normally jungle him, I can do ganks and stuff alright, but doing actual damage myself doesn't feel like I'm doing anything. just E a random guy, w ADC and auto attack them or am I doing something wrong? ult hardly ever gets to be fully charged if the enemy team is competent.

Would it be a reasonable solution to simply remove someone from queue and count it as a dodge for them if they didn't select any champion before the game started? Instead of getting a random champion, they get dodge penalty and everyone else goes back in queue? That way we avoid the annoying new system (which from what i'm reading here doesn't fix the whole problem) and still have a something in place to make sure people don't go completely afk.

If you encounter it every 100 games, and it is the same for everyone else, than you would on average get one dc every 10 games. Which sounds reasonable, i doubt it is much more then that.

Note ~1300 elo.
Snowball is a big aspd reduction. In lane i mostly snowball people. trading autos if its safe to do so. Consume lets you just heal back up again. Lategame your snowball should be doing 4-500 dmg pre resists with 3 seconds cd because of max cdr.
Make sure you slow there ad while boosting your own with blood boil. And try to find an opening in cc usage to get an ult off.
Yes you can run/dash out but any second they spend avoiding your ult is a second there not killing your teammates.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Is it possible to get out of 1200 elo by being the good guy (picking whatever the team needs, which is usually support or jungler)

It's one of the only two viable strategies for climbing Elo really, the other being so proficient at your best role that you can hard-carry a dysfunctional team regardless.

It doesn't have to be your best role. If you're good at something (that is, you're much better than what you're going against) then you'll climb pretty much regardless of what you do. I don't recommend supporting at low Elo if you actually belong much higher, but odds are you probably aren't much better than where you're at if you're asking.

If you're just looking to get a smurf account closer to your actual Elo, then you just want to pick a laner and go to town. I don't recommend supporting or jungling in that scenario as it's much easier to win when one lane (your lane) goes really lopsided in your team's favor, while a jungler can only try to triage the hemorrhaging.

If you're just trying to slowly improve then it doesn't really matter what you do: pick whatever and try to do better with it. There are a LOT of little things that go into improving as a player. Your Elo will naturally follow.

Pretty sure you just see this through biased lenses.

Maybe Moonbear can bring out the real statistics. I'd love to see the number of people who went AFK between queuing and first getting a game (idle before entering their first game) versus people who accepted a game and then went unresponsive after accepting. Need to not double count people who go AFK after accepting (being active) a champ select who then go unresponsive and get shunted to a second game when someone dodges.

I'd wager that most people fall AFK after accepting a queue and that most of the number who end up joining a game while idle were already idle inside a CS and didn't get ejected from queue at that point (because someone dodged to avoid playing with the AFK).

Note that the current system "solves" this in a roundabout way that still forces someone to take a dodge penalty, rather than automatically ejecting someone who fails to pick (and thus doesn't actually solve it at all).

I think another important thing is to not talk at all, unless its something like Gj or ward here timers etc etc.

and when your teammates do something stupid and someone else is like, real? be like we have a better late game guys we can win ^_^(include that face to make sure they know you arent lying)

I play with some friends who are around 17-19xx ELO. Most praise my support play + anivia mid.

I really don't know where I'm supposed to be. Maybe 1200 is where I belong, maybe not. Feels like I have bad luck with matchmaking, dunno

I mean, it should not punish dodgers who leave before champ select or the game starts. If someone is AFK in game, or intentionally feeding, then the system I mentioned should be implemented.

The fear of "pressuring to afk" is misplaced, because it would only apply to a case where a player is AFK from the start (or nearly the start) or is intentionally feeding from the start.

I actually think it might be a good idea to try to play with some of the TLers in, say, 1500 Elo, and see if you can compare yourself to them. If not, perhaps you need to improve your game.

If you wanna get out of 1200s, play ad, win your lane and free farm -----> can carry 80% of games, chances are if any of your other lanes/ jungle is competent and you free farm as ad and position reasonably, you will carry. I was stuck 1100-1200 for my first 150 games doing random stuff, usually being the good guy letting the team have their way. Decided fk it baylife only ad or pretend to be afk so people dodge and went on a 30-2 streak (to be fair an insane amount of luck with teams)
