Less IP should be lost when a dc occurs

So I was thinking that we should lose less IP if a person dc's, cause this keeps costing me like 21 LP just because we get some ass hat who plays when they know their internet is a piece of shit, however before anyone says "premades could abuse this", then here's the solution, anyone within the premade ALSO faces the regular LP loss while everyone else gets it halved.

I don't agree on the second part either. Crap happens. People's internet company decides to do some maintenance, or a tree hits the power line on your road. Whatever the reason is, I'm tired of being punished for the unavoidable. Furthermore, I feel the remake should wait longer as people generally either had a client crash and are reloading to a forfeited game, or they connect at the last second as the forfeit goes through. Perhaps make it 5 minutes in.

the problem is with allowing premades to do get the halved LP loss, they could abuse it, cause if their friend is trying to climb and someone's like using a smurf to carry them, then the smurf could dc thus letting their buddy lose only half the LP he/she was supposed to lose.

Pretty sure the post addressed that problem...

Ik, I was reiterating it since he seems to think a fluke which is unlikely in good weather could happen

I think a better solution would be that only the player who DC's gets the full LP loss. So what if they are premade? I add people all the time, and then hop into a game with them. If they randomly cut out of the game, I shouldn't pay for their internet shutting off just because I assumed they'd stay due to the last couple of games with them. I have friends that I consistently play with as well. Sometimes crap happens. A perfectly good internet connection doesn't mean anything if your power goes out. Again, it sucks, but if you are going to say not everyone should pay for a DC, then that should mean everyone in the match.

I think if it happens among the pre-made more than 1 time a day you do what you said

strongly disagree.

Likelyhood of a DC on a wired connection is very low. If you play on wireless you are subjecting yourself to an extremely unreliable connection type for a GAME that requires HIGHLY RELIABLE CONNECTIONS. If you dc because of that, you should be penalized.

There are options such as 1.Ethernet cables,2, Ethernet over powerline adaptors, 3, not play if its your only option.

I agree.. I feel as if riot should implement the /remake function if a player dcs and is gone longer than 7 minutes. I actually lost a winnable ranked game because my twitch adc decided to rage quit. I don't care if your teams in the LCS, they can't stand up to a 4v5 with an urgot/soraka, yi, talon, tank combo..

While we're at it. AD champions have easier options for cc and cheaper than any AP.. can this be fixed please?
