Solution to AFK's in Ranked.

coolwert·Aug 7, 2015·3 votes·276 views

Ranked games are important to most people, so that being said shouldn't there be a system for the 4v5 teams? Such as when a player never even connects to a match, so right from the beginning you are fighting an uphill battle. Now a ban is good and all, but does it help ur Lp come back when you've lost because of not having a 5th player? No it doesn't. That's why i suggest that, only if and only, the player doesn't even connect from the beginning of the match. The other 4 players should loose 0 Lp due to the fact of being simply outnumbered. And if the 4v5 team does manage to win they should receive double the normal Lp for their win.

Please take this into consideration Riot, I find it would just make the game more enjoyable for players that are at a disadvantage before the game really event starts.

I frankly think that Lp losses should be prevented, and gains for the winning team reduced. They didn't really win that game after all.

But if the team with the AFK did win then the losing team didn’t really lose?

The suggestions made by OP basically make it an advantage to have an AFK. Nothing to lose and all to gain.

If the team with the AFK won, then I'd say yes the losing team really did lose. In which case all should be normal IMO, none of that double down BS.

I'd even be fine with the team not having the afk getting full lp gains, so long as the team suffering from having an AFK gets at least some reduction in loss, be it a full loss prevented, or just a reduction in LP loss.

It's lose not loose.

or simply make a bot control the missing player, killing that bot won't yield extra gold or xp. will do little, but at least would somewhat help to keep the lane.

point won/loss should be kinda managed, the 4 team shouldn't have to pay for a disconnect and the 5 team shouldn't be rewarded because of it
