Implement a Pause Mechanic in Ranked

Ok Lets start off by saying i only played ranked and i stopped playing normals a while ago and i don't know the current state of normal games.

• So We know that it sucks when someone afks because of internet issues or client issues or they have to leave for a about 5 to 10 minutes because of IRL stuff. Tbh it has happened to me sometimes and i sucks that i come back to the game and my team is struggling and it's 100% my fault and i wish i was there from the beginning. And i know this happens to other people as well.

• Now just like in the LCS you guys should try to implement a pause mechanic just like in the LCS. This would increase the chances of AFK's coming back into the game with little to no unfair advantages. There are a number of ways to implement a pause mechanic within the ranked system themselves. But first lets talk about the cons of the pause system, then the pros, and finally what you can do to eliminate the cons.

• Cons: People may troll in the middle of the team fight just by pausing the game. People may repeatably pause the game to be annoying to the other 9 members. People may pause the game to think of the best strategy in a bad situation making their situation adaption better.

• Pros: You can pause the game if a member of your team never connected. You can pause the game if there are server problems like mass lag. Just holding off the game till Riot can hotfix it or do what ever they are going to do, without making a 50 minute game worthless. You can pause the game if a person is having ping issues throughout the game, and give them a chance to fix those problems. Or if someone just DC's in the middle of the game and give them some time to get back into the game.

• How to prevent the Cons: Give each person on each team 1 pause, this way nobody can repeatedly pause the game. Give the option to unpause the game to every player, this will make it so trolls can never pause a game for a long period of time. Give the pause affect a 5 second delay with a notice that will pop on everyone screen, This will make it so someone won't be caught unexpected by a pause or the delay will make it so people will have no reason to pause in a bad situation to think it out.

Honestly i think the pros outweigh the cons. This will help ranked become healthier in the long run. The roads may be bumpy at first where people may just pause and unpause for fun. Or people may unpause when the enemy team has an afk just so they can have an easier win etc. But eventually it will become like Dota 2 where everyone respects the pause and waits for afk's to come back.

What do you guys think about this and how could it be improved. I would love if a red replied to this. Especially on why it already hasn't been implemented.
