Afkers in Ranked

So I recently had a game where it was balanced. A balanced game in league of legends, really?!? I know! I was enjoying it. I usually main support but I decided to give Vayne a go after I won Programme Vayne from a chest. I'm lucky, I know. So the game was going great. I was 1/0/1, fell off to 2/4/2, then climbed to 4/4/2. Balanced game, was making me really think about farming and positioning.

Our midlaner, vlad, died to lux 6 times in early before the 15 minute mark. Firstly how can a vlad die to lux? No idea. Anyways. Vlad then got super mad about how the jungler wasn't helping him... While at this point, the jungler couldn't have done anything to keep the lane up because lux was doing a big ass amount of damage. #LuxIsMyMain #LuxIsABeast. Anywayyyyyyssssss.

Vlad decided to rage quit after dying because he's a typical arrogant mid player, like yasuo players, with the logic 'I'm not fed. I can't carry. I should be the damage dealer. No one cares about me. People keep taking my kills.' - Don't you just love the league community?

So yeah. We lost.

I spent ages climbing to Gold. I wanted that victorious skin and I finally got to gold. I climbed from Silver 4 to Gold 5 in 2 months because I was only playing my main champion.... Lux/Nami support. After the game it said -20LP. 20 LP.... Interesting. At first I was a bit mad. I won my last game before this so the 40 minutes I spent playing my last game was wasted because we had an AFK. Now I know people are going to be like 'But vlad was feeding so you were going to lose anyway.' And to some extent, yeah that could be true. But we had a Dr. Mundo on top lane that was scaling hard and dealing loads of damage... Right up until the moment vlad rage quit and he was getting ganked 3v1.

The only reason I write this is because I love league of legends. I don't want to look for a different game to play, but recently the community during ranked games has been absolutely awful. About a week ago my teammates were raging me HARD. You know the standard comments like 'I hope you get cancer and die.' This was all after I died twice. I didn't rage. I calmly asked for some help and my voice wasn't heard... not until they started to rage at me. So I was getting mad at them because they had no right to be mad at me... We all have bad games. So after the game, I received 4 reports and a 14 day ban from league. I emailed Riot Support and asked them to reassess my situation and they realised that the ban I received was completely unjustified considering my team mates raging me and instead gave me a 10 game chat restriction which I accepted respectfully as I had been swearing.

With this whole AFK and Raging situation... Mainly the AFK though, I feel like the system is very unjust. If someone has been AFK for more than 5 minutes, I feel like you should only lose 50% of the LP instead of the full amount. I know loads of people will try and tell me 'What about Duos in ranked games' and fear not, I have an idea. With Duos, the system knows the two people are premade. So if one of the duo members goes afk, they will both receive the full amount of LP loss, however if they're as a duo and a teammate outside of that duo goes AFK, then they only lose 50%LP.

The only reason I say 5minutes AFK is because, say if you were about to lose and someone goes AFK in the last minute, it'd be a smart trick to play to help other people climb. Obviously it wouldn't help you because you're the AFKer and so you should lose the full amount, even if it is a connection issue. I have connection issues and as much as it sucks, you just gotta accept the LP loss sometimes. But AFKers and one thing i won't accept full LP loss for. If my connection goes, that's my bad. Punish me, I understand. But if someone elses connection goes or they rage quit, I feel like the punishment is unjust for me to accept when I just came to play a nice 5v5 ranked game on the glorious summoners rift.

Anyway, sorry for this long message. Let me know what you guys think. Also, someone suggest a new champion for me to play. I own all the champs so help me.

I like playing support mainly but I often play AP/Carry support. So my mains are Lux Nami Anivia Karma Rakan Teemo Veigar <3 (P.S Morgana is the worst supporter to go up against in my opinion that op 3 second stun and that annoying spell shield just gets me sooooooo mad! Also, I'm loving how awesome Nami is doing recently. Nerf ALL assassins. Buff supports.)
