Dc'ed / Afk players, How to stop everyone one else from being punished by them.

I recently played a ranked game where our mid laner was present at the start fed 4 times in under 6 mins and then went afk / dc'ed.

My gripe is why is there no safety net for my LP when they afk / dc because its almost an automatic win for the opposing team. This post also references another post I made about smurf accounts and how they skew lower elo ranked play because they aren't of the same skill level as everyone else.

The Azir mid lane champ was playing against an Akali player who ended up going 19-1 with no clear signs of weakness. Nice clean macro play very skilled group mechanical play she was way above all of our pay grades.

They ruin the enjoyment of a well balanced game and cause the game to be less fun for those that are not at their skill level.

Anyhow I digress, I feel that there should be some form of lesser LP loss or a way for you to FF a game beyond the 3 min mark if a player on your team disconnects within say 8 mins of the start of the game. I think that's enough time to get in get your hands dirty and figure out how the game is progressing.

I wouldn't be suggesting such things if the game wasn't so balanced that its almost impossible to come back from a loss of a team member and a fed enemy player, but that is not how the world works.

Please help give this post traction, so that riot will see it and hopefully fix it. I think the true issue here is Smurf accounts and how it punishes everyone that isn't the smuf. It even punishes the players that are on their side because they get falsely moved up when their skill level isn't good enough to go up so then they get put into games where they shouldn't be and cause their teams to loose games.

PLEASE RIOT! hear my plea find a way to reduce smurf accounts its not all about money! Its about the quality of the game that we enjoy a fair and balanced system.
