Suggestion for Making ranked a more enjoyable environment

This might be a little "Out Their" but what if you have a feeding or AFK person in your ranked games and you lose the game you lose less LP than if you had everyone in your game trying but still lose.

For Example: I have a 0/8/0 mid and a AFK JG i lose half as much LP than if everyone was actually playing the game

I think this would help everyone who is actually trying to win the game. And you could also punish the people feeding by making them lose more LP

On the other end of the spectrum you could reward other players that carry the game and give them more than an average amount of LP

For Example : I'm 15/2/10 on An ADC, I clearly carried this game so I should get more LP than someone else. I would love to hear some other opinions on this.

There is multiple ways of "carrying" a game. For example, Sion has been "carrying" games by rushing down turrets like a mad man. He could be 0/8 but have the most stuff taken in game and has 3 people coming for him in top so his team can 4v2 bott and take even more including dragon/baron or etc?

The ADC could be 15/2/10, but what if the support is 0/1/40 as they were hooking, shielding, keeping people alive, making the enemy's life hell etc? Whos the real carry there?

The reason that LP is not based on KDA etc is that it is too hard to do fairly. It would be a case by case basis that would need an actual person to be watching the game the entire time to know what is going on.

Also, it would make people play to pad their KDA even more. The possability of if there is an AFK on the team then you lose half LP is possibly there.... possibly a bit extra if you win 4v5... but only if you win 4v5 after not accepting remake. (As in having the offer then not doing it, and only if the person did not come back).

They certainly do need to address the "greaaaat just got a leaver, might as well afk myself or wait for 15 ff" mentality that exist in the game right now. Some sort of lesser LP loss is in order when this occurs, but yes an additional incentive would be good for people trying to preserver through a 4v5.

I LITERALLY just had this exact thing happen in my very last game. Graves connects to game, afks in fountain and we get no remake. WTF!
