Patch 12.21’s most significant change is perhaps the remake time

Riot is lowering the remake threshold from 3:00 to 1:30 – 3:00, If the conditions are met within this 1-and-a-half-minute window, players on the affected team may initiate the vote by typing /remake in chat.

0:00–1:30 Player activity/connection is monitored, but /remake is unavailable.

1:30–3:00 /remake unlocks if a player is determined to be disconnected or inactive for at least 90 seconds. If this occurs close to the 3-minute mark, their team will be given a minimum of 30 seconds to type /remake (e.g. If a player hits 90 seconds of inactivity at 2:45, their team will have until 3:15 to type /remake.)

3:00–End of Game /remake is no longer available, but any /remakes initiated before 3:00 will be given at least 30 seconds to conclude.

Outside of this timeline, but there are a few other rules that may determine the success of a /remake vote, or even its availability:

If a player AFKs/disconnects after their team gives up First Blood, their team will be unable to /remake.

/remake votes can only be initiated once. Make it count!

In a 4v5, at least two players must vote “yes” for the game to end. In a 3v5 or lower, a single player can make the call.

via Riot’s /remake FAQ

More improvements to the remake functionality are planned. Additionally, /remake is now available in ARAM and Rotating Game Modes

Many thanks to Tyler1 who died so we can have better remake.

Patch 12.21’s small size is appropriate before pre-season and season ends.
