I just lost because of an afk

But ofc it is my fault for not winning a 4v5 game! Riot system is so perfect, that it allows a fair match EVEN when someone dc or NEVER, I SAID NEVER, connect! I mean, as soon you have a 4v5, you have one less person to die! How smart is riot do implement such a good system , no one can possible abuse from it! Would be much worse if the match was canceled if someone doesn't connect for 10 minutes or doesn't even load right?

I agree that Riot needs to implement some sort of system to allow those in a game with an AFK to opt out of the match without being punished, similar to, dare I say it, Dota 2. Having to suffer for 20 minutes, just to surrender and take a loss, especially in ranked, is incredibly infuriating. The leaverbuster system only affects the afk's that are due to poor behavior, not those who simply disconnect due to internet issues or something of a similar nature. By this I mean that a person who is going to leave a game may think twice because of the repercussions of that decision, whereas a person who has no control over the way that they disconnected can't possibly try to stop it despite the fear of the consequences. A more effective way of handling it would be a combination of both. Punish those who abandon the game while providing a way out for those stuck in those games being down a player.

I'm waiting for two different people the responses like this:

1: "But if the team has an unfavorable match up, they could bully someone in champion select so the game wouldn't count!"

2: "DotA does this, why doesn't LoL?"

A variance of these responses will appear in this thread if it stays any kind of popular.

I do agree with ranked games not counting towards LP gains or losses if there is something like a DC/Never connected player within the first 10 minutes.

"Learn to carry harder, every game is winnable no matter what!" This is also a common response
