Riot Please

Please consider looking into this idea. Everyone plays ranked and I'm sure everyone has felt the pain of a red name(s) at the end of their game (AFKs). Why do we still lose hard earned LP because of a troll, rage quit, toaster (bad internet/computer), etc? It's not fair to us to lose LP and the enemy team get free LP for an unfair match. But, the enemy team did put time into the match so they should still be rewarded. So, why can't Riot just put in a system where if at the end of a game if there is are any red names that team should get loss prevention and the winning team will still earn the LP. They do that for maintenance issues and such. Now, I know people are going to say "Well, what if you duo with someone and they just AFK so you don't lose?" Well, Riot can just investigate the case (if people report) and issue punishments like demotion, certain game suspension, or even perma-ban. I think it's a pretty good idea. Maybe you see issues with it. Feel free to comment what you think or how this plan could be better.

That's one of the reasons I quit playing ranked. Go into pormo and have some leave only to lose LP. Hard enough to advance without that type of loss.

Most likely if it's because both DC & AFKs would get red names and that team would have a loss prevention, then everyone in the world would be afking early game to lose little LPs, even from just dying once. This wouldn't be such a healthy rank gaming phase for al of us.

But still, if Riot knows what kind of threads that doesn't belong to a suitable boards then removes it, why won't they do the same to rank DCs & AFKs? We can have just loss prevention for just the team who's player is DC or AFK, while if they can detect if the guy who left is DC, then the dude would lose little LP, while the AFK would lose more LP then intended. This is justice being served.

This thread needs more attention.

Riot has already stated they're working on a new system regarding things like this.
