Getting 5 LP when someone leaves and there's a remake

I was playing with a friend in ranked and a person dodged. Yay. Best part of the game. After that, I thought about a system where the person that left, and they remake, they lose some LP (5-10 based on frequency) with a few warnings the first few times so people that have a tornado blowing through don't get demoted. On the other side, the people that stayed in the game get around 5 LP for having to deal with that. But that would be super abuse able, so why not a 3-5 times per month cap? Just a random thought that I wanted to put out there. Thanks and have a good time raging at this game.

People who leave or fail to connect to the game are treated as having lost the match and lose LP and MMR accordingly.

Additionally, players who frequently leave games or fail to connect are placed in Low Priority Queue or LPQ, in which they are placed on a timer before they can even enter a match and must see a number of matches to completion before leaving LPQ. The duration of the timer lengthens for each subsequent LPQ placement.

There are already systems in place to handle leavers and frequent disconnected players.
