People Leaving Ranked Games

It's bound to happen one time or another. Someone could lose track of time before work or their internet could die, but someone will eventually afk on you in a ranked game. I don't know if this is a bronze only problem or it happens in higher elos but normally, if your not already stupidly ahead, its hard to win a 4v5. I would even go as far to say most of the time its impossible to win a game where someone leaves early. It really puts your team at a disadvantage.

Personally i think there should be a system where if someone leaves a ranked game you do not lose LP for that game, or lose a smaller amount than a normal, 5v5 game. Ranked is in place so that players of the same elo can meet on an equal playing field and see whos better while climbing the ranks, but its hard to play on even ground when your down a man. Some might argue that winning a 4v5 truely proves that you should be higher in the ranks but i do not agree. If everyone in the game is at the same level of play, but the other team has an extra man, the team with the extra man will win every time. They just have more flexibility.

Idk this is just an idea i had while climbing my way out of bronze. I'll get out eventually as I've made my way from bronze 5 to bronze 2 over the course of a few weeks. People afking all the time just really slows people down.
