Today I was playing ranked in bronze. Our Reyna kept going afk and coming back every round. She just stays in spawn with a pistol and only moves after everyone dies. Even then she doesn't try. Atleast if she went fully afk we could have gotten the extra bit of money per round.

This eventually lead to 2 other team mates going afk half way through the game. In the end we lost the game 13-1. Solo queue is a nightmare. But I have no option since, all my friends are higher ranks.

I reported Reyna for being afk. Does riot even care about these reports? What are the penalties for a person that gets multiple afk reports?

!pin Hello o7

We realize just how disruptive AFKers are being in games and are currently working on a way to better detect AFKers, figure out whether they’re AFK cause of connectivity issues or if it’s intentional, and increasing penalties for those we find to be AFK.

I hope you’ll be able to see some meaningful change in this area before the year is up 🥺

I know it’s next to impossible to determine on your end, but what happens to parents who have a child wake up when they aren’t supposed to? I know this sounds like privilege but I’d rather not be harshly punished for very occasional, uncontrollable AFK that is not connectivity related.

PS - I always try to come back as soon as everything is taken care of.

Iirc there’s already a few round forgiveness in place, so you should have enough time to take care of your child and return :) but I’ll bring this up as we take things into consideration.
