Add a feature in Ranked to help with trolls/afk

As a deterrent to trolls/afk, add a feature in ranked similar to the voting "surrender" option, that if the remainder of the team votes "yes" it will stop the game (as soon as vote passes, not after a certain time) and no points awarded to either side. So, in solo/duo que, if 2 players are a duo trolling team (yea that's what were dealing with in the lower ranks) then the remaining 3 players can vote & report the trolls in-game effectively ending the game with no penalty to anyone. It will deflate the reasons for trolling, which are based on "i troll, and cause my team to lose points, its funny".

I get the downside could be people losing a game and try avoid the point loss by doing this. So, make it once it passes the affected teams side, have the enemy team confirm with at least 2 more votes that a troll/afk is in the game, plus game can be saved and sent for review as proof. Then make it so any abuses of this system (i.e. were losing lets vote the troll button and not lose LP) if a report is seen as a false flag, then double the points are subtracted.

So you are saying that I spent 40 minutes busting my ass to win a game only for the game to be ended a minute before my team wins?

The only way to climb would be to get lucky enough that your opponents are honourable. The only way to drop is to play fairly.

You say that false reporting will result in double loss. But then its still punishing the other team for playing so well that someone ragequits or ints. Not to mention the fact it completely messes up the system if the report is considered invalid and a player has moved alot of leagues.

I could see this being abused quite easily imo it would be best to have an increasing time of a player ban based on repeat reports through multiple games
