AFKs AND DESERTERS

I'm trying to climb through the silver ladder. I win 1 match lose another 3 mostly because of the titled issue or a completely bad team or even some bad calls by me filling a role i dont usually play. Since there isn't much to do about someone who doesn't know/cant play their role/champion. Perhaps we could address the issues with AFK/Deserters with something more than just a report after the game and maybe the tribunal does something about this.

I've seen this topic float a number of times about a reduced LP loss for AFKs/Deserters. I know there are concerns about this being abused by players to keep an LP advantage and just leave a game. What if there was a way to redistribute the LP loss?

Lets take a look below for just some thought.

STANDARD/CURRENT LOSS TOP -18LP JUNGLE -18LP MID -18LP SUPPORT -18LP MARKSMEN -18LP

PROPOSED AFK LOSS TOP -14LP JUNGLE(AFK) -34LP MID -14LP SUPPORT -14LP MARKSMEN -14LP

PROPOSED AFK LOSS TOP(AFK) -30LP JUNGLE(AFK) -30LP MID -10LP SUPPORT -10LP MARKSMEN -10LP

Make the AFKs/Deserters take the weight of the lose. Chances are there are so many games where one team could have won if there was a 5th body. Just the moment the enemy team realizes there is an AFK they just start exerting so much pressure there is very little the handicapped team can do to pull back. Literately just lose a game where We managed to ACE their team twice but couldn't push anymore then maybe 1 turret because of how far behind things became.

I've been playing since Season 3 and have been trying to remain positive and push my win ratio higher but this is so frustrating and infuriating. I can't be the only one that feels this way. I get that LIFE happens outside of league and there may be things out of our control sometimes but that means everyone needs to be dragged down too because you decided to play ranked in a thunderstorm?

I'm sure I'll get some negative feedback on this but this is an issue that I feel has been ignored and there is very little being done about it.

most of the AFK's cant do ANYTHING about it, RIOTS SERVERS right now are to blame many many many of the afkers are having this problem in this thread: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support/NZfBhApx-game-crashing-disconnecting-in-champ-select please before you make a thread about afks think about people like me having this issue

I can understand that sometimes its Riots servers as well but there needs some balance to this. Some sort of relief because even if it's Riot's servers it is still one player that is affect by this disconnect for whatever reason and it still is bringing down teams. Either Riot decides to reduce these LP losses during these server issues affecting players or the AFKs all together.

AFKs happen far too often even before server connectivity became an issue this past weekend.

I did glean over your thread as well to get an idea of what you're experiencing and you have my condolences on the Que bans and the lost LP.

I'll admit this proposed idea may be overreaching in some circumstances and it may have some number tweaking in order. Perhaps an algorithm to check for if the player ever connects past champ select and instead of just piling the "extra LP loss" onto the afk justa reduction across the board or even something i've seen in games long past "Loss Prevention".

I imagines these checks and routines are still in place, just trying to see where the conversation or policy is on this front.

Again not saying that "it's the AFKs fault" he can't connect, more so seeing what can be done for those that are/can connect.
