Can this please not happen? I'm legit demoting because of these things, like I know MAYBE we could've won that 4 vs 5, but if the SUPPORT was there we could've ended within another 5min. (Before he d/ced or afked... idk which) YAY gold 4 elo hell.

Can riot make something like afk / d/c detection and make it like: oh 20minuets (Legit) of afk... We'll make this game invalid.

Punish the frequent d/cers or something.

This is my very own gold 4 elo hell.

It's unfortunate, but fair for on your side. The enemy has a potential of 5 dc/afk players, yours only has 4 (assuming you won't afk yourself). In total this means the enemy has a higher chance of getting an afk than you.

Ending a game in a tie after 20-30 minutes is very frustrating for the winning team, and Riot would get a ton of complaints about wasting people's time.

I'm gold IV myself, haven't tried to climb in ages. I'm a support main, albeit I use solely utility supports and they unfortunately seem less viable at the moment. Gold is a fazinating elo, there's players of varying skill all across the board (the smurf, the half-decent player, the casual who doesn't care and the boosted).

Still, if you're better than your rank you should be able to climb regardless of other factors.
