Why is there still no functioning loss prevention system

I get it, we can't put in place a system that allows you to not lose rank games when you have some dc or leave because then someone can just take one for the team and leave so you don't all get the loss. But I just had TWO people dc/quit from a ranked game at the five minute mark, causing the game (obviously) to result in a horrific loss. Why do I have to get shafted and lose a promotion game because two of my teammates quit or dc'ed? Can't we have something in place where when people dc and don't come back and it happens in the first minutes of the game that it won't count as a loss for the rest of the team.

Here's a fun suggestion, put it on the other team to give you it (Troll capable I know). Have the other team get a loss prevented vote if the system decides its a loss, and give the other team the ability to reduce penalties with a vote for everyone but the leaver, who gets extra penalized. I still feel like giving a full loss prevented in promos would be too easy to exploit, but reducing the LP loss for those who are stuck and screwed would be great.
