Why do we get punished for AFKs in ranked

So i had a game where 2 of my teammates AFK'd because they died twice and of course we lost and i went down to 0 LP why is it that when other people AFK the other players also get punished and i don't care if it's connection or ragequit like in this case you should still get a penalty and the other players shouldnt lose any LP or be able to stop the game cause then its a 4v5 or 3v5

How do you prevent people from abusing it by just flaming and flaming the person who they think is losing the game to AFK so you don't lose LP?

How do you prevent duo's from immunizing you from bad promos?

How do you handle people who complain "I afk'd but still lost LP even though we won!?"?

  1. Just make it like the old system that you get a day ban then week ban and then 2 week ban for AFKing

  2. The duo that lose would still lose a lot of LP plus the first answer

  3. 2 bad shouldnt have AFKd then

  1. You want to ban people if their internet cuts out? I've had construction crews a mile away cut my internet out.

  2. You want to punish a duo for 1?

  3. How is 1 my choice and a 'too bad shouldn't have afk'd' like it's a choice?

OK, so you want to ban people for things like a construction crew miles away cutting the internet? Just this week actually, a construction crew cut out a metropolitan suburb of internet from 600 homes over a 5mile by 5mile area in my city.

Cuz Riot belives that as a team game you should be treated one for all, all for one. I understand that someone can have network issues or problems but rage quit? Hell No!!! What's the piont of going rankeds with no tilt-proof and calmness. There always be ppl who are better players or have good day to win against you. I had just one rage quit in my all matches. When I was ganked 4 times a row and lost lane in early when all enemy team roamed and my team mates did nothing:P not even pushed lanes...
