I have been convinced

GG Riot. I no longer care about premades. I don't care if my opponents are a 2, 3, 4 or even 5 man premade. I'm practically at the point where I don't even care about the smurfs. Riot, I will accept whatever f'ing BS you want to stack on the other friggin team, you can give me a team of 5 solos against only 5-man premades. I only ask one, ONE thing in return. FIX THE GD AFKs!!!!

I'm sick of losing games from (5 mins in) "gtg, dinner" or (4 mins in) "sry, baby is crying" or (0-5 feed lane, and: afk) or any of the other half dozen reasons, causes or whatever that've cost me games lately from f'ing AFKs. How about this: for every 3 mins a person is afk, they get -2 LP for the game (no matter what) and everyone else gets +2 LP (assuming a loss, no bonus LP if game is won, even though there should be a bonus). That way, if I get some idiot abandoning the game for 15 mins, at least my loss is reduced and I have a reason to keep playing it out. I even had one game that we won which was a 4v4 (afks on both teams) that we ALMOST lost because one of my teammates said "screw it" when he thought we were the only ones with an afk before I made him realize it was 4v4.

Look, I'm not a fan of DQ, I'd prefer a more "reliable" measure of skill. But the AFK problem is getting a LOT worse and it is f'ing BS.
