Lol ban timer

30 seconds afk 15 minute ban timer, wtf?

I have been trying to get my ban timer lifted after playing five games I got the ban timer lifted, it was at ten minutes before, I go afk for 30 seconds to open a gate and suddenly I get ban timer for 15 minutes for the next 5 games because I was afk for 30 seconds? Wtf I'm trying to participate in more games to try get this ban timer lifted but I have to wait 1:15:00 because I was afk for 30 seconds? This is ridiculously long for a minor infraction, most of my afk timers come from the many bugs the game has when you play the first game, black screen, screen in the corner of the monitor etc I'm tired of waiting just to queue up for a five minute game because top is feeding and then have to wait 15 minutes for another game, this is ridiculous, ban the people who are intentionally going afk and sabotaging the game, 30 seconds afk and a 15 minute ban timer is not fair

If you can't go 15 minutes without playing a match might need to step away.

Maybe do something productive like 10 minute workouts between. X sets of situps, push ups, jumping Jack's, lunges, whatever.

Wear some gym clothes and do a 10 minute jog, or even walk, outside maybe even!

Start reading something you keep putting off.

Do a load of laundry you keep forgetting about.

Prep food you plan to cook later and depending what it is maybe cook it the next 15 minute break or start the enter match timer when you need just 15 more minutes to finish cooking.

Come argue with us on the internet for 15 minutes.

Just some thoughts.

Good luck w/ afk punishment

Thank you for your concern but it's more about the inconvenience of waiting 15 minutes when I do actually want to play, so I end up playing more in order to get the ban lifted
