The most down to earth board you will ever read: AFK's and How Rito should help us
You've all had it happen, its your promos to finally get to your next tier but you slowly realize one of your players hasn't loaded and the game starts suddenly! Well, you can basically count that up as a loss and your team really didn't have anything to do with it, the odds of you winning a 4 v 5 is super slim, because they have one more character pumping out damage or absorbing more of it, they will have more cc, more team fight ability, and more objective control. We (the 4 who actually connected to the game) then have to deal with the next wasted 20 minutes fighting a losing game from the get go, only to be insulted more and lose LP due to the incompetence of one player. Riot, I would like to propose a new system for ranked which would only take place during the time when a player is AFK or completely disconnected. The new system would monitor player activity from the beginning of the game, If they connected from the beginning, then the system wont need any more use, but, if the monitor only sees 9 players in a given lobby, then the team with the missing player will not lose any of their LP as a result of their incompetent teammate, Instead, all of the lp loss that was going to happen, goes to the lone AFK player as a means of quick and swift punishment for these players who essentially ruin the Ranked experience. I hope you look into this and consider this amazing Idea Riot!
