Lets talk about losing LP for winning

I keep seeing this as a problem that happens to players with connection issues. Although it hasn't happened to me recently, I felt like creating a thread that could help me when I accidentally dc, as well as other players.

Riot should have it so that the the player who does NOT reconnect into the game before it ends should lose LP on a win. I know this might effect some people, but a majority of people reconnect before a game ends and still end up losing LP. Of course, they can be given a leaverbuster or an afk warning for leaving (although I hate both). I feel like this would be a healthy change, as those who even gave their team a chance of winning can feel good about it as well, instead of discouraging players to just give up if they technically lose if they win.

PLEASE make this happen. My drivers crashed midgame, I came back, played for 15 minutes and won. Then still lost LP. This nearly got me demoted to b1 -.-

tbh I don't think you should earn LP if you afk for that long, being that it means you didn't really do anything, your team carried themselves. a much better solution IMO would just be to leave your LP as it is if you reconnect and win, but lose LP if you reconnect and lose or don't reconnect at all.
