Some sort of relief from afks

One of the most detrimental things that happens to me in solo queue are afks. Especially in bronze. I know I'm better then most of the people i get matched with and usually i can carry but as soon as I get an afk my team gives up and feeds. and you still lose a bunch of lp for it. I feel like there should be some sort of small buff or loss forgiveness or something. like increased gold per 10 or higher exp gain or something just to be able to keep up. even if you get hella fed and are smashing everyone on the opposing team there are still 5 people to your 4 ( which usually ends up being 2 because most of your team will just quit trying). the longer queue times are a decent punishment i guess but It's really not fair that you lose just as much LP for fighting an uphill battle. Just seems really unbalanced and stupid.

While I agree with your point, I do see a lot of people say "especially in Bronze".

Honestly, the issues that are in Bronze are tenfold in other tiers. There are more AFKs in Plat/Diamond than in Bronze, there's more people who will give up and intentionally feed, there's more people who will be like "oh you lost lane last game? I'm gonna troll you this game".

I have played through all the divisions, and Bronze is the one with the least problems. In fact the only thing I ever see in Bronze which is silly, is the champion picks that are common there. It's pretty funny, but they aren't trolling, they are just bad.

Trust me. If you think these issues are bad right now, you haven't seen anything.

But yeah, that is just more reason for your post, since its even WORSE than most people think it is. But there isn't much Riot can do about it, since any system like this will just be abused by people to drop LP gains on games where they were gonna lose anyway. Even if it's only for the rest of their team, people will find a way.
