dangers of the new remake feature

Hey guys! This is my first post in forum in 5 years of playing league. I hope I get the attention of Admins and game developers.

The new remake feature allows you to remake the game as long as 1 of the teammates is AFK and no first blood has been given within the first 3 minutes of the game.

There is an exception that** "kills given ONCE the vote starts are not counted"** Apparently, this exception is there because some people might die while pressing yes.

However, I think this exception can be abused in early games.

For example: on champion select, you tell the top player to go AFK, dont buy any items, and stare at the chat screen only until he is informed he can move by the rest of the players. As soon as the game starts, the rest of the 4 players go towards enemy jungle. Once the 4 players are near the river, they start the remake vote. The 4 players will commit all risky plays and dive into the enemy red/blue buff because they are insured by the remake system. If they succeed the early invasion, they will cancel the vote and the top player will be informed "you can go to your lane now". If they fail the invasion horribly, the 4 players will do the remake.

Also for higher elo ppl(Master~challenger), I don't know how bad the penalty is for remaking, but I'm sure it will be less than losing. So if you see opponents like faker,deft,etc on same team and you're a master tier player, you might as well tell one of the players to go afk and do the remake.

Please let me know if there is any flaw in my assumption.

Gracias amigos

afk'ing causes a complete loss as far as I understood. I don't think someone wants to risk that. In a premade team everyone would get a loss if one of them goes afk, at least in Diamond and above

Seems like a lot of coordination for a chance to steal a red/blue or get 1 kill. This also assumes that you will have somebody who is willing to risk the lp hit for that plan, as the remake system punishes the guy who was deemed afk. So the guy is risking a loss for a chance at first blood or a stolen buff, doesn't seem that worth to me. I guess this could be a problem in normals, but it seems pretty cumbersome to do in order to win a normal.

Considering you aren't supposed to be able to start the vote till 3 minutes in and most junglers will have one side of the jungle cleared by that point, this seems like an invade strategy that will fail so often that whoever even considers doing this will stop doing it quite quickly after starting.
