Dear Riot

What am I supposed to learn from a game where the ADC walks to lane, waits out the two minutes for a remake, then goes afk? Who's gameplay fantasy is fulfilled by solo soraka vs the logical 4 man rotate for an essentially open bot lane?

And why should this still effect my rank as if I played badly?

You've come up with a system that detects that this Jinx was afk, it puts a lovely X through her name in the endgame lobby, why can't she lose the LP she cost me instead of me being expected to carry a solo lane against a duo lane as Soraka? It doesn't teach me anything about the game other than that it is a frustrating one that could genuinely be made better.

I understand that you've coded a leaver punishment system in, and we appreciate that, but can you code the system so that it doesn't punish everyone else too? Please?

Because if they did that then when someone thought they were going to lose they would either troll or flame someone on their team to try to get them to leave. That and people could queue with people and have the person they queued with leave if they were losing so they would lose less LP.

Right now, assuming you don't leave games, you have a statistical advantage as to whether or not there is an afk on your team as compared to your opponent. Four chances compared to five.
