With how MMR works with amount of LP you get for win, you should get a decrease or increase with AFK

Just had the great match where I just kicked ass and built the right items and everything. Game is going so well that we had it. Nope, Braum afk's. Lost one team fight, lost the whole game. Now I lost a good amount of LP. What sucks is no one on my team deserved to lose this game, we were all playing well, then one fight we lose and it costs us 25 LP? Riot, you got the system to give certain levels of restrictions on players for saying "kys", but you can't modify a system where the game even knows there's an AFK? It be so simple it'll just adjust the amount of LP earned for all 10 players automatically when the game KNOWS there's someone actually AFK in the game. Thee reduction of LP should not be 25 all because of a fucking AFK. You give the wrong wins to the wrong players sometimes Riot. Fix this damn LP system, tired of these lame enemies saying "ggez". Those are the people you letting to get promoted into an elo they don't deserve to be in lmao. Or do you guys not see me through your piles of cash?

100% agree that afks should be hit harder than they are, funny how many people no longer have "family dying in the hospital" when there is consequence.

Someone else posted on this earlier today.

The person was akf for 5-10 minutes, but then came back and helped win the game.

he lost 17 LP, rather than gaining any.

so yes, there is a system where they detect AFK and adjust LP accordingly. You want to lose less LP when an ally goes afk? there's a lot of discussion that could be made about that, but one primary argument is potential abuse to save allies LP in losing matches. It's a lot easier to punish offenders for afk than reduce the damage they do.

The LP loss isn't even important. The MMR loss is important. We can't see it so we don't know if the system accounts for AFKs or player performance, etc... But don't get hung up on LP loss. In the long run you gain more LP the higher your MMR is.
