How come I can lose lp even if THREE people on my team disconnect?

I just played a game as jungle Fiddlesticks where our ADC disconnected early game and mid game our Nasus and Leona quit. We obviously lost but I was still punished 15 lp. I don't see how it's fair that three people disconnected but I still lose lp. It's just not fair for the game to amuse that the two people on our team can carry against the entire enemy team.

Problem is that to balance it properly. See, people will start leaving or if they are dynamic they will tell friends to leave in order to prevent a loss of LP. They will take turns trading losses and skewing actual game results.

There simply is just no winning this afk battle vs. loss.

because being a dick until 3 people disconnect shouldn't reward you

Lesson here? Always surrender 4v5s. The 'never surrender' mentality of NA is toxic and leads to players simply not even trying or disconnecting. 4v5s may be 'winnable' but they're stressful as hell to play, and not in a good way.

If the timer hit 20 minutes, Nasus and Leona tried to surrender, and you and the other guy didn't let them, that's on you.

~16% winrate on 4v5's Its worth it if you ask me. Its all about getting a level advantage and pressing your advantages.

CHOOO CHOOO!!!!!!!! ELO TRAIN COMING THROUGH!!!!!!!!! been on a roll lately, plat 4 to plat 2. Abusing Sona's mini rework, still have to go a lot of damage though... I think Sona was changed to appease the support mains who are suffering from PTSD from shitty teammates. I sure appreciate it lol.

Its not fair, Riot is stupid, atleast their Early game surrender helps somewhat, but hasnt remidiated the problem completely. People have complained about this for years nothing has happened.

Leaves you with 2 options Quit League, and get laid Suck it up knowing riot sucks ass at responding.

"Early game surrender helps somewhat" - "nothing has happened." "hasnt resurrected the problem completely" - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/resurrect

Riot is great at responding :) I mean, they could also charge everyone $10 a month so they could hire 20,000 more people. But if you think Riot sucks at responding, you should compare it to the other online games with 30 million daily active users. (Or you should try once there is another game this big.)

When I said nothing has happened, I am referring to the LP loss for players who have left mid or late game as OP is discussing.

Are you reading correctly? Resurrect? Reread my sentence buddy.

I am totally fine with Riot charging 5-10 bucks a month. 10 bucks is worth like nearly 12% of an hours salary. Thats better than wasting my 30-40 minutes for a game where someone AFKS. It may be winnable in lower elo, but in higher elo they should have the common sense to utilize the player imbalance, to win.
