Why do we lose LP when we have afks?

This is honestly retarded... Losing LP with an afk. Its not right riot because they have an extra man to win teamfights, its a 4v5, its almost impossible to win with an afk. Especially if its a troll when they just move a little bit to not get the ban timer. Riot you gotta do something about the AFK's because im honestly sick and tired of it. Atleast have us lose half of the LP we lose instead of 25.

Because the game cannot tell if you are missing a player. They are working on a new feature though that allows us to leave the game and go to a new one if there is an afk, hopefully it will be finished soon.

The game can definitely tell if you dc (they show as red in the post-game list) and IF it can't already, it's easy to tell an afk (no game input over X amount of time). If you simply run to fountain and run in circles, you're not afk, you're a troll.

Well that's a bit different though. That's for it to flag people when they are away for a certain amount of time and punish the,, however it cannot calculate that into the win/lose of the game for everyone else though.

LP is a representation of your win/loss history.
