LP lost after reconnecting

Recently I have discovered that if you disconnect and then reconnect shortly, you still lose LP in a ranked game even if your team has won. I've read on multiple posts where riot employees say this is because it still caused a bad experience for the team, therefore you are not eligible for the win but even worse, penalized for reconnecting and helping your team to victory. In my opinion as a player this system is incredibly unbalanced. It basically suggests the disconnected player to AFK, I mean what's the point in reconnecting right? Riot has done an incredible job at reforming toxic players and making the community overall a much more friendly place, however this system is a step backwards and not forward towards a better League of Legends.

A bad experience is a missing teammate, not a returning one that contributes to the teams victory.

I agree, this system causes more harm than good. Even if you disconnect for a minute at the very end of the game you still lose all the lp making the whole game pointless. Personally this bugs me more than toxic players since most of the times I disconnect is cause of some client error but who cares right? A disconect is a disconect so guess I will just enjoy my leavebuster and lp loss.
