4v5s are the best!

I really don't get why we still don't have a system that when we have a 4v5 we lose less LP. It's complete bullroar. It's not fair when you lose when you are already at a disadvantage and you lose full LP.

It could be abused
If things were in place to prevent 1, it would still lead to artificial lp inflation as you're still making gains winning 5v4.
You can't reduce awards for winning to fix 2, as making an opponent rage quit is part of winning.
In order to fix the above, you'd have to seriously increase LP losses to the person (or in duo queue the pair) that DC'd to the point that a dc probably would result in immediate demotion if below 50LP and drop 70-80LP if above that, meaning it's overly harsh on someone that DC'd due to something like a tree falling on a Hydro line causing a power outage (Yes it sucks that it happened to them but it's not their fault and they don't deserve demotion for something so random when they normally finish every game).

Abuse.

Badgering an ally to leave in what looks like a loosing game so you suffer less LP loss would quickly become a thing. Leaving to "take one for the team" on what appears to be a loosing game could also become a thing.
