It works in Overwatch, why not in League?

In Overwatch Ranked matches, if a player is AFK at ANY point of the game or DCs, the game is automatically terminated in 20 seconds and the players on both teams don't change in LP, except of course the one who AFKs.

Why wouldn't it work in League? Seems fair tbh.

"Hmm, my duo partner is about to lose their promos in this 40 minute match. I should go afk so they can try again."

That sounds horribly flawed. If a team is losing bad and someone rages, the winning team would be punished by effectively wasting their time since they win nothing for a possibly hard fought game.

You do lose LP I'm pretty sure, just you don't get a leaver penalty for leaving the game after someone has already left. I mean I know in placements if a team member rage quits you still take the loss, just you're allowed to leave the game and not be punished by reward reductions.

League games are longer. I could see it opening doors to hard trolling.

Because no one wants 30 min games to be terminated just because an enemy rage quitted right before the loss.

That sounds god awful. How long is a overwatch game? 10 min? Would not work in these 30 min games. You screw over you opponent by quiting lmao

That actually isn't true last I checked. Once a game goes past 1 and 1/2 minutes in Overwatch you're stuck in the match.
