Personally I think that if someone on your team leaves the game, and is detected by leave buster in the post game lobby with a dark red name, that you should get bonus LP for playing at a disadvantage, upon win. I got an Singed rank with almost 10 farm/min while going 7/3/9. Does anyone else share this view?
PunkDisorder1 votesExploitation is why Riot is hesitant to do these systems. About to lose a game? Someone who doesn't care just leaves, now everyone loses less. Right before you win a 5v5? Someone quickly D/C's (which I think will get you a red name) and your friend gets extra LP. Yeah, there could be some systems in place for that too, but then you're making something, that requires you to make something else, which may require you to make even more stuff, and that costs lots of blingage.
I don't agree with the current system either, as we see plenty of perfectly good matches spoiled due to these things. Also, it would be hard for those things like "My house is literally on fire" "My kid is choking on something". Those life emergencies are gonna come up, and even harsher punishments for AFKs would be...odd to deal with
Nanuk Pihoqahiak1 votesThere can easily be a system in place that detects that someone never connected period and compensate that team for the hassle. I don't find as many people going afk anymore as I personally find people just not connecting at all. Riot has had a history of random errors preventing players from connecting, so sometimes it's beyond their control if they can even join a match or not.

In the end game screen, to my understanding, it shows people who have left for quite a while with a red name. If they have left long enough for that to happen, why not give the LP they would have gotten to allies?
