Loss prevention for DC games

I cant count how many times I have lost a ranked game because people decide to quit. It is so frickin annoying that the opposing team gets LP for a free win. maybe give them LP but dont make us the people that had to deal with going in a 3v5 or a 4v5 get demoted because some jackass decides to quit or lags out.

This. Just had a 4v5 where Cait never connected. No ADC whatsoever. We still managed to keep it even and would have had it, as decided by both sides, if we had an ADC. Loss prevented? No. I have to lose league points because Cait has a shitty ISP, bad router, or just decided they have something better to do.

"Players will not receive loss forgiven for personal connection problems, such as issues with your router or ISP, nor will losses be forgiven for freak incidents with the client (such as bug splats)."

This needs to be fixed. There is no need for anyone to lose IP because one of their teammates is unable or unwilling to play the game. It is absolutely one of the most frustrating aspects of ranked play and plagues everybody.

"We're losing because of X player. X has to leave so that none of us lose LP" "No way man it was your fault, you leave" "!@#$ you man you're the one that 1v5s in their jungle and blames us for not following you" "Whatever you never gave me blue or ganked my lane !@#!@#"

Yeah. I can't wait them to implement this. It's gonna be wonderful....

I never gave a blueprint for implementation or prescribed anything. I just identified a problem that causes frustration to 4 out of 5 members of a team. How they choose to address it is Riot's choice.
