So I have been playing league for many years now on PC and Wildrift. What I have come to find is they try to implement fixes to the problem in the title but never do enough to back it up or put proper detection protocols in. What I see is they allow someone to sit in the fountain/before the inhib towers with just needing to move or preform an action even though the enemy is no where to be found with no penalty. With that even reporting them will not give them a penalty or do anything but mark the account with a useless flag that doesn't do anything.

So my purposed fix is to have riot implement a sort of "what if" type code into both games making both areas an afk detection area. Basically how it would work is keeping the afk detection timer but adding the on you nexus side from the semi circle of the inhib base to fountain if there's no enemy minions or enemy champions in a max auto radius that the system flags you AFK even if you move or cast an ability. To add to that if statement to protect ults like luxs and TF's for example it has to have the detection on the ult that it is not just a random area move but needs to be near enemies or minions to not affect the choice of location of ult so timer resets for that time and is affected by cooldowns.

If you can give me a replay video showing a clear AFK with someone not being detected we can take a look because we are designed to detect the situation you describe where someone is not participating, but not completely idle. However it may be a problem where the person is not AFK for long enough to be penalized (and grant you bonus ranked fortitude in ranked). If there are bugs we will try to fix them.

And this is stated on your own help section that it is only view only

Best way is to use your phone's screen capture function to take a video of a replay. That's what we do internally! You can chat or dm me here on reddit with a video. Also your accountName#tag and when the game happened (date, time, timezone, server) is helpful.

Am I missing something here? Are you saying that the Lux is AFK in this game? At what point?

So we're on the same page, we're talking about ~20:30 game time right? I see them idle there for a bit and then move and cast their ult offensively about a minute later? If that's what we're talking about, I agree they were AFK (and it looks like they disconnected briefly before starting to play again). However, I would not expect the system to mark them as AFK at this time because they weren't idle for long enough. It's a little complicated because we don't want to falsely detect someone who is camping a brush waiting for the lane to push so they can gank (for example). We are looking to reduce the amount of time it takes to be marked AFK when you are truly idle though, which will address more cases like this.
