The Solution for AFKs in ranked play
This is pretty simple.
-
If a player AFKs in ranked play, his or her team has their loss prevented, and if they win, their team still earns LP. The player that went AFK suffers a loss of LP regardless of outcome. This would stop players from bailing on a losing game in order to prevent the loss, and the remaining players would still be encouraged to play their ass off, as they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
-
If someone who is duo+ queued afks, the AFK suffers the loss of LP, and their queue-mates will also suffer an LP loss if they lose. This prevents teams of people from abusing the loss prevented system. They can prevent the loss of LP though by continuing to play to win the game. This encourages to keep playing hard after their q-mate bails so they don't suffer the loss.
What am I missing here? Why is AFKs in ranked play still an issue?
