A couple suggestions for ranked games
Not sure if I am posting this in the right place, but a couple suggestions for ranked games:
1) Loss Prevented ticket - We have all had times where we are climbing, gaining <10 LP per win, losing 30 per loss. Those very frustrating times where we are on a five game winning streak, rack up some good LP, lose one game due to an afk or troll, and lose all of the LP we just gained from aforementioned win streak (and for reasons completely out of our control). Similar to the re-roll counter in ARAM, a loss prevented counter could be implemented into ranked play.
Since we wouldn't want people spamming this feature (it should really only be used in those cases of afk/troll teammate), the counter should build up slowly (maybe every 30 games or 50 games, or even only on winning games). The point isn't for people to stop losing LP, but just to be able to relieve one of those uncontrollable losses every once in a while. Once the counter has built up all the way, there can be a shiny 'loss prevented' button available on the post-game screen. Another way to prevent abuse of this feature would be that people can only store up to one ticket at any time and cannot stack them. (Although, I would imagine the counter would build up slowly enough that people will likely not store their ticket long enough to even try to stack them. You will not even gain tickets fast enough to null all of your afk/troll teammate games, but you will occasionally get a small miracle from the League gods, lol.)
If you wanted to take it even a step further with preventing abuse of the feature, the button can be grayed out and used only when there has been an official 'leave' (with the player's name in red). This would not count for games with troll teammates but would still be better than nothing, right?
2) Preferred role indicators during champ select - This feature might not be as useful as it would just be sort of cool to have. A tiny indicator that players can set up to display their preferred role next to their name from when champion select begins (could be the same as the current tank/jungle/mid/adc/support icons). An icon for "fill" could be added as well. You don't know how many times I have been first/second pick, said I would fill, and get complete silence... at least until it's their pick and then finally say "i can't adc." There could even be two icons displayed, one for preferred role and one for worst role. This of course would not override the pick order rule already in place, but it would be useful in the situation mentioned before, and it could be useful for quick decision making on who goes where.
Just two things I think could overall contribute to making a more positive player experience, even if only a little bit.
