Supposing that you are only paired with level 20 people, which is unlikely given how long it takes, then our current karma system deals with that since they lose karma after the second match in a row they afk and thus given that train of thought then our current system has handled the issue. If so, then your current AFK woes are down to other issues. I would argue that, as a mobile game, there are many legit reasons a player will stop playing and leave. So a better fix needs to happen that...

While I've had that feeling as well, it's true what DoudJr said. So in the case of my last game it was just my two allies going afk on and off.

I've wondered the same myself. Given it will be revealed at PaxSouth and will have some Q&A on Twitter with a contest for ICE it won't be long until some information trickles out.

Boots help a lot in the jungle as you need to run between enemies for leveling. They also help a lot when chasing a fleeing enemy. And a well set up saw can use boots to move quickly from the lane to the jungle, give a good show of force, and then slightly more quickly reposition in the lane. Also, the final level of boots aren't something I'm fond of. But given I generally buy boots anyways so I can pursue enemies, the extra health & armor tend to help a lot.

When playing Petal I find Frostburn very helpful early game, as your damage builds up fast and it continues to help into the mid game. But toward the end of matches the biggest effect is just more crystal power. I haven't used it much with other characters because boots tend to be more helpful at first, and higher burst damage tends to be more helpful later.

Using the IEMI in this way encourages Apple to ban the app from the store, as to my knowledge it isn't considered an accepted use case. So, supposing that's true and can't be implemented, your proposing that people spam new accounts to play. This encourages them to do whatever they want, as there are then no repercussions. Now, supposing what your saying works. A lot of people who currently are very active will tone down their gaming. They won't want to risk playing over 4G or LTE...

SATANisGOD, playing with people who don't know how to build can be harsh. Though Petal in the jungle can work fine, I've won several matches when I had a second person (Adagio) who covered lane against a Saw while I leveled in the jungle.

Reading Smackatudie reminded me of why I came to these forums, because having someone aft for 30 seconds is enough to ruin your chances of winning and make for a dull match. An early concede button, as well as only requiring one player (given the missing player) should be enough to end it. Otherwise it's just encouraging that team to go AFK while waiting for the ability to concede. I am slowly but surely coming to loath not AFK players, but those who refuse to vote to concede when the...

In the higher rankings I'm finding that an AFK is a really harsh loss, one that has made me wish that a solution (other than just punishing the one player) would be found as 2v3 is still fine if the other team isn't too coordinated for a few minutes.

My thoughts are that it should be a two-person agreement. Once two (or if there is an AFK, one) player wishes to concede it should only require two votes of majority to end it. This makes the best of a bad situation, where at least two out of three players are no longer interested in playing for one reason or another, such as when one player must leave (such as battery power). These cases are clearly fairly common, and I would argue even inherent to mobile as a platform. As for spamming...
