Reduce LP loss by half (round it down) for the remaining players if there is an AFK (RIOT PLS LOOK)

But:

  1. Make AFK punishments a bit harsher (so that duo queuers or "sanctimonious" players can't abuse it).
  2. Don't change any LP gains for any winners (can be arguable because the team with less players can theoretically win, and some people think they deserve an extra reward).
  3. Give tilt-proof players (from the honoring) a little extra reward (a little more chests, keys, etc.), if they have been honored as tilt-proof in the game with the AFK, even if they win.

Although people in the boards are mostly complaining about damage creep and stat checking, fixing this "AFK then lose" issue with the above ideas can allow players to feel a bit less stressed about their potential loss, because they will have a little more access to the bright side of their situation. But idk if Riot would approve or even care to look at this post, so what do you guys think?

Sounds exploitable, especially for boosters.

You'd have to also halve LP gains to avoid inflating the average rank. And non-leavers wouldn't benefit from that change in the long term.

the problem is the ends wont justify the means. this would increase toxicity to get someone to AFK once it looks like a loss. this would also increase the amount of people running it down because trolls would run it down to maximize teammates losses. and the duos who would do this would do so on throwaway accounts they dont give 2 shits about.

You make the assumption that RIOT gives a sht about you. They do not...

What about the people with internet that goes out every once in a while? What about the people that have a real life emergency pop up out of nowhere and absolutely have to leave? Should those people get a harsher punishment for no reason?
