AFK's and Loss Prevention

Crow Kill··1 votes·158 views

So Riot put Loss Prevention as a way to not lose games and lose LP if a server issue happenes. AND ITS BULLSHIT. I get a Loss Prevented for a game a lost for a reason and there is no reason I shouldn't lose LP in that game but for example yesterday i was playing my last promotion game (I had 1 win and 1 loss) and our support goes AFK and I lose my promo and lose 19 LP.Then today I get in my promos again and as soon as the game starts our jungler goes AFK (JarvanIV gives no fucks for ranked) and we lose)

Those are the kinds of games that loss prevention should affect. My point is Riot should make it so that if someone goes AFK in ranked games they lose LP (more than they would lose if they lost the game) , or if they are in a promotion series they lose them automaticly , and others on their team get the loss prevented.. I know it's not perfect but it's something and its really unfair that i lose my promos because of some guy that doesn't feeling like playing ranked.

RITO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Once more dear friends... into the breach. (By that I mean that this thread comes up literally every day and a small search would reveal this, but alas I digress)

OP - what's the prevent people on a losing team to shame / grief / harass their 5th into AFK'ing? With this system they would be encouraged to get one of their team mates to DC in order to get loss prevented - toxicity rises.

What's to prevent DUO's from "Taking one for the team" and AFK'ing so his buddy doesn't lose LP in an effort that was still winnable, but they'd given up?

TL;DR Systems recommended as the one in the op statement have been stated before and provide no compelling statements that would free the system abuse.

I know it can be abused really hard but i don't think that many people would AFK if they would lose like 50-60 LP or even get demoted. People are stupid but not that stupid..
