Two AFKs in a ranked game. Demoted. Can you please fix this broken system?

I just finished a game where both our mid laner Akali went AFK a few minutes in to the game and then our jungler Sylas intentionally fed after afking by turret for a good portion of the game. Reported, but that doesn't bring back the LP lost when forced to play in a 3v5.

Since starting to play this morning, I've been in not just one, not two, not three, but FIVE AFK GAMES. I lost LP to the point of being demoted.

Please tell me when you're going to fix this problem or I will happily uninstall as this isn't a game it's BS.

Ranked means nothing if noone takes it seriously because there's no punishment whatsoever. Riot encourage players to use alts, so if 1 get suspended or banned for a day, you pick another. Then even other.

Back in "old days" with old rune system smurf were an issue, but somewhat contained, as getting full runeset was a pain in ass, so noone wanted really waste their time on an account they don't care about.

Now? "meh don't wanna climb, gonna stay in silver/bronze and troll people, so gotta drop my mmr a bit. So time to afk for 6-10 games"

From the looks of it, Riot finds this mess perfectably acceptable.
