Losing a ranked game with an AFK team mate

I feel like there should be some rules to this

If you lose a game with an AFK Team mate at 0 LP, you will not be demoted
If you lose a game with an AFK Team mate, you should have reduced LP loss

These are the only 2 I could think of, please add more.

I always thought you should win/lose your lp based on the rating you get in-game. So if you absolutely fed and lost, you'd lose more lp than the poor soraka support who managed to get an S-.

I agree with this. As a support main, it burns me up when I get high ranks but because of a feeding laner, we lose. Ip loss should be based on overall performance. That would make rank games less stressful and less toxic if your performance alone determined whether or not you advance. It would allow the players to focus on their own skills and play style rather than worrying whether or not someone is feeding because no matter what, if you did good then you are still gaining Ip.

This is something that should only be applied if Riot were also to do something about feeding. Your botlane going 0/20 will lose you a game through no fault of your own just as much as an AFK will.

idk if this is already a thing, im pretty sure it is, but if not, maybe having the afk player lose even more lp if getting a defeat or gaining very little lp when winning?
