Reduce LP loss for AFK

While playing ranked, I find my team losing quite a lot because of other team members going afk, causing an unfair match. This takes away the same amount of LP as losing a fair match. It's very hard to climb up in ranks without a team when this is the norm now. Maybe LP loss can be based on the letter ranking of how well you played your champion. (If you have an A ranking on a losing team, you lose less LP).

What you all think??? Rakan

The argument Riot's made against this kind of thing is that all everyone would have to do is pressure and be toxic to one individual to go AFK, since they believe they're going to lose anyway they might aswell get their own loss deducted, it's too inconsistent of a system to be implicated so I support Riot on not adding it unless they can counter-act that aspect

To abusable in duo que you'd have to remove duo's and only apply it to solo games.

Loosing LP of all players support toxicity in game. LP loss should be reduced to zero in match with leavers. Only AFKers should lose LP. This change would have no negative impact on game. It also would have one great positivity - players with lags and bad internet connection would not be treated as shit by teammates.

I really don't want more stuff teammates can say to flame each other "it's lost / you're bad go afk pls".

Even if that actually doesn't result in the person going afk, it's going to encourage negative conversations that don't help the game at all.

The introduction of ff at 15 had its benefits but it's also a feature for negative people to rage and get angry when one person votes no.

My experience is that many people lose a game from giving up early so I'm not a fan of all these "loss mitigations" that favor doing that.

There can never be a reason in favor of engaging in undesirable behavior like AFKing. We want to see less of that behavior, not more.

That would be nice, but letter grades are terribly flawed. And they get lower when you lose, so they finally should fix them, to begin with.
