Why should I lose LP for an AFK on my team

Ok, i just lost a game because i had an afk and a panth supp (dont really care about trolls) but i lost 20lp because of it its not fair. there should be something to help the victims of afk after 3:00 mins. sometimes not even remakes help.

I think anytime there is an AFK and it goes past 3 minutes that you only lose maybe 7 LP while the afker loses more. It sucks to lose but at least it's not losing an entire games worth of LP.

I agree with something similar.

BUT at the same time, why should I lose 7? Games are 5v5 with matched MMR. One person being AFK means the game is no longer balanced. It isn't fair at all so why should I receive any punishment. i have thought about what/how much to balance this for awhile.

Obvious it can be complex. But factors like how long they played/were afk. Maybe it should be a daily reducing protection. So first afk is 0LP loss, but next one is like 5, then 10, then 15 in the day. In the end it sucks for grinders, but it is still better than the current system where you are always punished. It can help curb mass grinding/abuse.

the entire point of putting a time limit for remakes is so that no one can just afk and abuse the system if something terrible goes wrong early. If they increased the time limit, I'd be much more pissed about my early triple kill from a failed invade becoming useless than if someone afk'd after the 3mins

So it shouldn't be a remake. Give the winning team their LP. Punish the person who goes afk. And forgive his teammates to some extent.

You shouldn't. But Riot needs to implement a better system.

When the enemy team has an afk which results in you winning a game for free, do you think you should get no or less LP for that win?

That is still a terrible argument, because regardless of what you say AFK/team is not perfect 50/50, it is not in your "statistical" favor, it does not takee into account many factors.

But read peoples solutions instead of throwing out such wisdom. Just give the other side their LP then. Do t punish either side then. Reduced Lp for them is something i have considered. And i am definitely back and forth. It depends how the system is fixed. BUT in the cyrrent system ABSOLUTELY give them less LP. If the MMR 5v5 is balanced then why dhould they get free prize for winning an easy 4v5. But again i am fine with no punish for the winning side too. Because it doesnt matter to anyone so just give them the LP and let us all be HAPPY.
