Why not implement this system to deal with afks?

We all know how infuriating it can be to have an afk on your team (especially during promos) that causes you to lose and waste 20-30 mintues of your time. Yes I realize that teams can win 4 v 5 it is just not very likely. My proposition is this. The person who afk loses twice as much lp as they otherwise would have(harsher punishments if it keeps persisting), the rest of the 4 people get a loss prevented and the winning team still gets their normal lp. Nobody is getting cheated here and everybody gets what they deserve. Please Riot tell me why you can't implement a system like this?

Just have the AFK champs be replaced with an AI script. Easy. The AFK champ cannot come back and loses LP even if the team wins.

a duo queue could have one quit so his friend doesn't take a loss

I think you need to do it like this to help prevent chronic leavers within a time period. I'd recommend the reset time be 60 days. That's more than reasonable. It brings the hammer down on chronic AFKers to prevent the behavior from recurring while softening the blow for the team who gets randomly paired with him

For the AFK/DCer: 1st AFK - Warning 2nd AFK - 2x LP loss & 1 day low priority queue for all game types 3rd AFK - 4x LP loss & 3 day low priority queue for all game types 4th AFK - 8x LP loss & 5 day low priority queue for all game types 5th AFK - Demotion to next lowest rank (gold->silver, silver->bronze) & 14 day low priority queue for all game types 6th AFK - PermaBan

Meanwhile, when his teammates are paired with him, should he AFK/DC they get:
