It's really sad when you play your hardest in a RANKED game and there's 2 people afk from the start

It's my day off work, I want to progress in league but how does this work when iv'e lost COUNTLESS amounts of game in league due to people being AFK from the start, or less than the 20 minute mark making the game drag on so much longer. I'm tired of reporting people when honestly NOTHING is changing, there are still so many games of people going afk, and the funny thing is that you would think that it would make a difference due to it being RANKED. I just played a game winning my lane completely and trying to enjoy the game but it's so hard to when there are people that just leave and make you lose points FOR NO REASON. Come on Riot, please make a kick system or loss prevention system. In game name is Noodlekhoi, please review my previous game and see what happened. I communicate with the team, I try my hardest, and then it all goes to waste and I lose 20 LP because 2 people weren't even in the game. So ridiculous, it's hard to keep playing a progressive system when I lose points because of people just not playing the game.

Maybe you shouldn't go hard in a game that is 3v5 to start. Just have fun, try to not get too behind incase they reconnect, and ff@20 if not.

Life is too short to stress out about LoL.

They started going afk at 5 minutes~, at that time I was snowballing my lane already. Its just sad and demoralizing because I lose so many points and game due to others. The fact that 2 people afk'd and I still lost so many points, you would think there would be a loss prevention in that.

If you are losing 20 LP per loss, that means your MMR is quite below the average for the Rank you are in. The problem here is your overall winrate, not the AFK's or Trolls. If you can get your winrate positive, your MMR will even back out and you will see balanced LP gains and losses.

For example, I am gaining 20 LP per win and only losing 10-15 LP per loss.

? You're saying the 2 afk shouldn't be punished or lost prevented? My mmr has nothing to do with this post lmao, I would've won the game if there wasn't 2 afk so whatever you just said doesn't make sense

No, of course they should be punished.

But you also have to look at why it upset you. Was it because the people were AFK, or is it how them AFKing affected you?

If it's the former, well, it's just something that happens. A shitty thing that happens, but you can't control it. Statistically speaking, the AFK's will balance out to around 50% after you play 200-300 Ranked games, so they have no real impact on your MMR or LP. As long as you focus on improving your gameplay, you will be fine.

If it's the latter, you have to look at what you lost: a few points of MMR and 20LP. Generally people don't care about an LP loss unless it is more than they get from a win. Is that what is happening to you? If so, that is the real problem, and as long as you work hard and improve your play, you can fix it.

For myself, since I get 20+ LP for a win and only lose 10-15L, a loss from an AFK doesn't really mean anything. 1 win and I have more than made up for the loss.

he's kind of right...even Faker probably couldnt play a game against two lanes that snowballed as a result of afks, especially if either of those lanes had scaling champs like swain, vayne or nasus/etc

as an added effect, his MMR drops based upon the loss

What's more sad is knowing Riot doesn't care, and regardless of the fact you had no chance from the start of a game like that, you will lose, and you will still lose LP for an unfair match...because riot refuses (for no good reason) to implement a system to keep games like that from starting, or at least implement a loss prevention system.

I know, Riot hasn't made a loss prevention system due to AFKs. Its sad.
