Compensation for having an afk in game

I don't know if this is the right place to post this kind of thing but I feel like in game, we should have some sort of compensation for having an afk because its not fair that someone afks to troll or just has bad internet and makes us unlucky or just rage quits. I don't think riots going to give loss forgiven or lessen lp loss for losing because of an afk so maybe if a team has an afk they can get compensation like the whole team getting 2 gold per second rather than 1. Or maybe our turrets can get buffed with the event of an afk since turrets are so easy to take down or just any kind of compensation because this issue has been around since the first season of lol.

This has been discussed over and over before and is unlikely to happen simply because of the abuse potential.

"yo zilean, just afk at base so we get extra gold and turrets get buffed. It's k, your passive and gold generating item will get you free lvl and $"

theres a difference between afking and sitting in base. Its just that i had 4 afks today and i only played around like 6-7 games. Its getting kinda ridiculous and I don't think even 10% of the time people would do something like that

[zombie-brand-facepalm] This pops up like once a week, as if people think they're genius for thinking of the same darn thing like they're all part of a hive mind.

Seeing that so many people are mentioning this every week but nothing is being done about it for however many seasons i guess we really are geniuses

OR A lot of people are incredibly salty over a game they felt they should not have lost because of an AFK/RQ. And trust me, I've been shafted by those f*ckers as well, didn't care much for it.

And assuming Riot actually considers this and gets it implemented, this is an amazing thing to exploit for people in 2-5 people queues. Game looks bad? "Hey James, go afk so we get compensated. I'll leave the next one we start losing." Exploitable. If Riot decides to make it not an automated system and makes Riot staffs go through each game/case one at a time, we'll have even MORE complaints about Riot's work ethics and how slow they are and blah blah blah. We already have a slow and flawed (and heavily complained about) system that A LOT of people still complained about and apparently is flawed according to a lot of "unreasonably" banned people.

So once again, bad idea unless someone can actually come up with a great idea that even THIS community can agree on and actually not be complained about in the future. NEXT! [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Sadly i'm against this, it's easy to abuse this by making a new account and having it afk thus resulting in the bonus. It may seem far fetched but people will do it if it means a win.
