4v5s and loss of LP

It's just awesome, how when you lose a match where your support was afk for the entire freakin game and the idiot enemy team had to get baron 3 times cause we just kept acing their dambasses everytime they came into our base to try and push for the win, you still end up losing the same amount of LP....

No yeah it's cool Riot, we're in a situational where it's just about impossible for us to win, and even though we held out and even had more kills for most the game and were even in towers for a while as well it still didn't matter much cause once again, 4v5, it just makes complete sense to punish us just as much for a loss if we had our entire team for even a moment of the game.....

But no, Riot that was sarcasm, it makes absolutely no sense and I'm at a complete loss as to why there still isn't a system where if you have an afk member for 45 freakin minutes you don't get reduced LP loss like you do when the servers are lagging. I know you have the tech to make it so, you have it set so that happens when the servers lag, so I know you can set it up to work with 4v5 (and worse) games!

Come on guys....

If you kept repeatedly acing them, how were you unable to push out and make a comeback? That seems like the thing you should be focusing on, not the AFK you have no control over.

It happens to everyone. With enough games, it doesn't happen enough to matter. Move on to the next game. Things like this being a loss forgiven can be easily abused.

i know this pain too well, in my last 10 matches in silver 5 i had 6 afks/rage quitters early game which resulted in major losses and a demotion ( 2 losses after a victory too mind you...) riot really needs to fix their mmr/lp system. I got gold last season but they removed my rewards because they believed i was elo boosted due to me moving near the end of the season. WAY TO GO RIOT! Now i'm stuck back in what truly exists, elo hell and this time it's harder to clime out because of the horrible people in placement matches with 80 or less normal wins and the afk's and trolls. riot, you need to fix your system, 90% of the community shouldn't be in silver or below. this is in error on your part not the players. Ranked banning must become more frequent for people. Low priority que isn't a solution just a set back annoyance. And there should be a minimum of wins required to enter ranked, not just level 30. nearly 2k normal wins, i generally carry a well above average kda and i get demoted from having a bunch of fking trolls and afks. it's out of hand. people who CARE about their ranked are getting punished by those who don't. fix the system or change it completely.
