AFK's in Ranked

Riot can you please make it to where if someone leaves or doesn't connect its a loss prevented to the remaining teammates. Also only a loss for their duo partner as well if they leave to try to save them. Its really unfair to have to keep playing at huge disadvantages and then losing points for something you can't control. Its like being in champ select and one person dodging but everyone on the team getting penalized for it.

AFK person or a feeder, what's the difference really? It's annoying but I don't think it needs to change since the other team can also have afk people.

Even though this question is asked time and time again, I still see no reason there hasn't been at least SOMETHING done about it.

I personally think if someone doesn't reconnect, or disconnects and doesn't reconnect within the first few minutes of the game, It should be automatically abandoned and the person who left gets punished... Dota does this, I don't know why we don't. Not to many people leave dota games at higher levels because of the penalties.

There needs to be some sort of either a pause function or restart function if somebody does not connect within the first ten minutes of the game. Dota has this, 5v5 customs have it, why can we not get it in ranked games. When I get a kill on the enemy jungler for first blood, I should be able to actually do something with the lead I just got, instead of running around dodging the enemy top laner because we dont have a top laner. 4v5s from the start are not fun, and I just feel like I am being cheated out of LP.

It would have be be larger lp loss for a dc because then everyone would just beg someone on the team to dc and there would be no reason not to. The bad thing that would happen is if your internet actually dropped or your power goes out bc you are in a storm (an actual excuse) then you would lose more lp??

There is no real way to fix this. just something that happens and im sure if you did the math and had the games you have gained just as much lp from afk'ers on the other team as you have lost from them being on your team
