Loss Prevention with an Unranked teammate.

You should be loss prevented when you have a teammate whose playing one of their first 10 games ever. Seriuously, putting a fresh level 30 in their first ranked game ever in a GOLD game, they always feed.

There is no reason I should lose LP because I have an AP KINDRED JUNGLE playing their 3rd ranked game ever, that proceeds to go 0/9, walking around the jungle ulting themselves at camps to not die to them.

This is far from my only experience with this.

I have had many games where I have a teammate who has never been ranked before and is just plopped at a random MMR, and then proceeds to go 0/20

Riot won't ban them because they don't consider it feeding, BUT THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULD LOSE LP BECAUSE A TEAMMATE WENT 0/20

Sidenote, how broken of a system is it where you get banned for flaming an 0/20 teammate but they can continue going 0/20 for the next 10 games without any punishment.

TLDR: if it is one of a players first games, the game should count as a win or loss for them to establish an MMR. But for the teammates, it is like playing a 4v6 from the get go. It is absolutely unexcusable to force players at a gold Elo to lose LP because they had a teammate who will be placed at bronze 5 after the game.

Here's an idea riot; Start every player in Bronze 5. Let them work their way up. This will not only prevent random first time players in gold and plat games, it will also prevent these new players from being ranked too high and dragging people with them on their way down the ladder.

What if they do a lot of normals but almost never play ranked?
