LeaveBuster

I don't think they should be banned, but I think they should just be kicked. A ban will be a bit of a harsh punishment.

 

A kick for leaving mid-game is redundant since they are already gone from the server.

I agree that there should be some sort of punishment for going AFK or leaving mid-game, a warning system would be good. In LoL they have a system like this, so I think it would be a good idea. +1

 

There could be a leaver percentage and people with a too high leaver percentage can't join upper class games similar to HoN.

 

A kick would be for when someone is AFK. I do strongly agree though with a warning system, and if you get x amount of warning points, then the player would be punished. +1.

 

I don't necessarily think that they should be punished. Back when I played MOBA games the only thing that happened is that they didn't include you from certain games if you were AFK in certain games and your leaver percentage was big. There shouldn't be a punishment. It should only be a heads-up that if you leave too many games you may not be accepted in a few and you won't be able to get your points back up since you keep falling back. This should encourage people not punish them (people will obey more if you warn them and give them good 'stuff' if they do good 'things').

 

Considering that for some of the game modes you can just join in the middle, I don't think LeaverBuster would be appropriate for those.

For things like ranked queues and Summoners Rift 5v5's, I wanted to see if people would like a "replacement"-kinda system. Instead of a team having to deal with an AFK, I conceptualized this: if a player went into queue while a game was unbalanced, they'd be asked to replace the AFK player and take their place.

Possible issues with this:
- Players who joined the game as a replacement would most likely be punished with a loss instead of being rewarded for their services. This would lead to replacements not receiving negative consequences.
- But from not receiving negative consequences, players who joined as replacements could just troll and not help without any real consequence.
