How lol should handle ranked leaver....

If a player leave/disconect from a game in ranked...whatever the reason is:

  • They are AUTOMATICALY banned from ranked matchmaking
  • They lose bonus LP
  • Can only join matchmaking after a set amound of game in normal mode...like 1-3-5-7-....increasing with every offence withings a set time
  • For those match played in normal more, they CANNOT GAIN IP

Hard but effective.

i think this would unfairly punish those who occasionally lag out for various reasons. i can see why you would want punishments this harsh, but it's too harsh. I think instead of being banned after 1 leave, they should be banned after closer to 3 or 5 games.

So let's say a player calls jungle, and picks Rengar. Then the next player decides no, HE wants Jungle, and picks Urgot jungle.

This player is going to do nothing but be a jerk the entire game and seems bent on ruining your day.

What if someone wants Rengar ADC? Soraka Top? The dozens of other troll picks that you have no way of stopping? Should you be forced to deal with these trolls or be punished? I honestly don't think so.

Leaves are fine as they are, so long as they happen during character selection. The leaver sacrifices points, and the other players don't lose anything from it.

That policy is way too draconian. Many leavers aren't leaving intentionally. There are lots of cases, especially for east coast players, where routers just refuse to connect the player to the game servers in an acceptable amount of latency.

If Riot had the ability to specifically detect ragequits and troll afks, then I could support your proposal.
