We should not be punished for trolls and AFKs, devs please read

I just got out of a game where my adc was so angry that our support chose to play Morgana (the champ she wanted to play) instead of Blitzcrank (the champ he wanted her to play) that he told her not to come bot lane under treat of afk. Then proceeded to intentionally feed the enemy adc and kept telling us "why do I always que up with fucking retards in promos". After his continual trolling, our support decided she wanted to troll as well and actively made it difficult for the top and midlaners to play, essentially throwing the game for no other reason then they felt like it.

I reported both of these players as I hope the enemy team and my top and midlaner did, however I expect nothing to occur from this since Riot doesn't care much about their non-pro players. Therefore, I would like to suggest at the very least, that if a ranked game occurs and a player actively tried to lose the game, some sort of appeal or recovery process should occur with LP in that the team who was trolled by someone AFKing or intentionally feeding loses no LP and the troll/afk should be reduced to 0LP.

It's brutally unfair to rank up in an environment where your skill at the game is meaningless in essentially a 4v6 situation (or in my case; 3v7).

**UPDATE: I got an instant feedback report that my adc from this game was suspended. Although I appreciate he has to learn his lesson, 4 people lost LP unfairly as if we are being punished with him.

I got chat restricted for cursing out an ADC who purposely took the jungle creeps I was killing after I had specifically stated I needed farm. Then he flashed mastery I at me. He didn't get anything though of course.

I agree that there should be compensation in some way or it does feel like the game is predecided even more than people are whining. Heck with ADCs being strong, the strongest impact on the game right now is feeders and afkers

I think that one that recovers LP lost will be difficult, but they could improve their ban system and start to be more severe with those who troll. They need to start punish them after the 1st time they run it down instead of let them do that over and over before something happens.

I think if you had an afk and you report them and they are found to have actually afked that you get your LP back.
