AFK/Leavers

This is a partial rant, and a plea or cry for help from Riot. I have lately seen too many games where either my team or the opposing team has an AFker, a leaver in the game or someone who just doesn't load into the match at all. There needs to be a better solution to compensate the rest of the team in the event that stuff like this happens.

I understand life happens to people who are playing the game. Children need attention for those of us with them, phone calls, people coming to your door etc etc. Thus the banning system is working slightly as intended. What needs to change is the fact that the remainder of the team is minus 1 player and gets nothing in return for there troubles. Now I don't think your own team should get a "buff" of some sort as this will create larger snowballs for that one person who is fed. Win with 4 people you say? I try and quite frankly most people do. The fact of the matter is you are still at a disadvantage.

A solution to this that I think would be a good starting point would be an identifiable threshold, perhaps once the client removed said AFKer from the game a new LP system would come into effect. The team which is short handed would, in the event of a loss, lose only half of the LP that they would have. IE if you were to lose 20, you would only lose 10. The person with the AFK infraction would still lose the intended LP. This creates a system that the team isn't punished by one person. But that one person cannot gain anything from AFKing.

But what about teams who know there losing, so one person will sacrifice the LP and AFKer tag on the account. Then person a secondary algorithm which can notice patterns. If one team has 1 AFker per match extending beyond the 15 minute mark (the AFk didn't happen until after that point, thus increasing The likely hood of an intentional AFK). Then the members of the team or group would be hit with a full IP lose and a ban hammer of a set length.

These are idea's I have had and am surprised Riot has yet to be creative in finding a solution for what I think is the most frustrating thing that can happen in a game. Let me know what you guys think.

End rant
