Original Post — Direct link

Had a game today where I had an afk from the beginning of the match and couldn’t remake. Wonder what’s that about. Ended up losing for no reason.

We are actively trying to find out what's going on here. This happened to me the other day. Not sure what's going on, it could be that we're missing the remake notification.

Can you dm me information about your game? Your playername#tag, region, time of game, what champ were you playing, what player/champ was AFK.

I find if someone dies early the remake doesn’t pop up, is it that?

Possibly, but the system should be setup so that only a death very close to when someone starts going AFK prevents a remake. This is so that you can't just AFK after a bad first blood to trigger a remake.

Are you able to provide any info on why the system was set up with as many conditions as it was and why there is a vote required?

Definitely, the system was setup this way to guard against people trying to game the system if they had a bad invade, surprise bad matchup, etc. Similarly at high skill levels we give your premade a loss as well, because coordinated abuse is more likely at that level. The vote requirement is really to give people a choice if they know the person is coming back, especially if you're in a premade and talking to the person who disconnected. I think one area we could improve is to just make the vote come up automatically, right now we think a lot of times people could just be missing the message saying that remake is available. So far all the games people have sent us show that a remake was available, but a vote did not succeed (or was not invoked).

It works even if somebody dies, happened to me planty of times, it was just a bug that we couldn’t remake

Not sure why downvotes, it is supposed to work even if someone dies. The exception is if the death happens before (or very soon after) someone starts to AFK. If a death happens well after someone AFKs it should not prevent a remake.

See i just get the trolls that intentionally die first then go afk so that it voids any chance of remake

If that's the case they should be getting a double loss and your team would get a chunk of ranked fortitude as compensation. I know it's not as good as a remake, but we also penalize the AFK player much harder.
