Placement Matches and AFKers

So my last placement match end up going downhill as one of my teammates went AFK just before the mdigame. This has happened to me on two other occasions during my placement matches in S4. Riot said they will punished those who AFKs more heavily but what about the other players who took the lost?

Is there a way where they can have their LP lost reduced or have the game not reflected on their placement?

This is something heavily requested but there is a major problem: potential for abuse.

How quickly would people start getting flamed and goaded to afk in a game to reduce the LP for everyone else? This remains as the biggest hurdle against any form of LP loss reductions.

Right now the only water-tight idea I've seen is to detect disconnects that never once connected back the entire game. But of course that wouldn't help you in this situation.
