AFK voting

I think Riot needs to implement an option for a team who has an AFK to initiate an action that would end the game immediately with no loss (or win) for either team, just a flat-out reset. I would suggest that in order to stop teams that are getting crushed from abusing this tool that the player being flagged for AFK be temporarily unable to play for a duration of maybe 30 mins to an hour and put in a lower priority queue for 3-5 games. The tool would be available to teams with an AFK and must be used within the first 5-10 minutes of a game. Maybe implement the tool by opening up the scoreboard and having an icon on the players box that would be selected if that player is AFK. then an object similar to the 'Surrender' box for other players on the team to agree (or disagree) that the player is indeed AFK. If it passes, the game immediately ends and all players are put back into queue with no gain or loss of MMR, or LP. This would stop a lot of the problems being faced by players that are loding LP because of constant AFK's (I watched someone do thier provisional matches and literally had 6 games with an AFK in them. 6 out of 10 games is a rediculous number and this needs to stop.

Er A loss prevented for a team would be nice but denying the other team a reward is just kinda silly. =.=

don't penalize a team for playing with a full team, but with that said, shouldn't penalize a team for an AFK'er

Stuff like this is why Riot hasn't implemented a system like this. They are also concerned that the system would encourage bulling, as getting someone to AFK as a result of a toxic environment, would get the losing team off easy. Which is something they could never support.

I correct myself, if the person has legitimately afked and even the system recognizes it OR they have d/c then yea they should get a chance to jus quit the game with no penalty. RIOT will NEVER do this. It makes way too much sense.

its not enemy team fault you have afk in team why would they not is it to take a free win i won games 4 v 5 many times had afk all game but punishing enemy team is not fair. The way i see it that if afk player wont come back till 10th min game should end with a win for enemy team and no loss for team with 4 players but that only could once while .
