So what becomes of my placement match when its a 4v5 cause of an AFK in fountain

Is there no compensation for us who stayed in game like decent people?

No major punishment for the guy?
I wish I could post his summoner name here and to hell with the repercussions but the rules dictate that I can't so you got off free this time asshat.

He took Kassadin mid and than left and guess what happened? There was no miraculous throw on behalf of the other team or comeback of a lifetime. IT WAS SLOW, SUFFERING, AND A WASTE OF GODDAM TIME AND EFFORT AND MY TEAM AND I WILL END UP IN THE BRONZE HELL HOLE BECAUSE OF ONE MAN'S ERROR ON HIS PART OR HIS INTERNET CONNECTION!

Look at my or his match history and you'll find he got starter items then left.

Even if it isn't a deliberate aft I would still like to call out someone. It isn't just, fair or balanced that my other teammates and I should end up lower ranked because of a 4v5 match. The system should have some way of either softening the effect of the loss, not counting it, or majorly punishing the leaver.

Everyone else's thoughts?

i went 8-2 in placements and had one afk in those games. Riot doesnt care that much about 4v5's. They can make the game so it wont count it against you but they wont.

Well thanks for responding even though the knowledge that they could discount the game but chose not to saddens me and my faith in riots dedication to balance.

Yea I was playing this game since pre-season one. Over the years people had some great suggestions on solving the issue. If somebody doesnt connect at all it shouldnt count against you in ranked. The winning team could still get LP but not as much, nothing for the losing team (no loss in LP)

For the people that rage quit 10 minutes in the game should allow the enemy team to "show you mercy" at the end of the game they should be able to vote to let you get a loss forgiven. This feature should only work if someone has left for over 5 minutes or 10 at least to prevent people from leaving last minute to get this opportunity. Also the vote should be that 3/5 or 4/5 summoners on the enemy team give you the "show mercy" feature to prevent abuse of it.
