When will the madness stop?

I really hope the reds are looking at this.

I worked my butt off to get from Bronze 3 to Silver 3 (at Silver 2 promos) over the off-season. Once i escaped Bronze, I noticed the jump up in average player skill. It was more fun and easier for me to carry because I was able to trust my team more often.

Then, the new season starts and I play my placement matches. Here's what happened:

3 4v5s - losses 1 3v5 - loss 3 Wins 1 0 - 10 jungler ( I should have carried harder to make up for it) - loss 1 support that took all the last hits from me as ADC because he did get to adc. -loss 1 game I should have played better in. - loss

BRONZE 2 !! Seriously Riot? Where is the justice here? A full tier down because of 10 games is ridiculous. It really makes me not want to play this game anymore. I just don't feel like you are following your philosophy of destroying ladder anxiety.

So I guess my real question is: When will you have a mechanism against LP loss for AFKs? . It's really unfair to those of us in the community who care about the game and having fun and treating our teammates' time with respect. I'm fine with playing with bad (in my eyes) teammates, as long as they are present and making an effort.

I think its pretty clear if someone is gone for 21 minutes in a 43 minute game that you don't really deserve the loss. In fact, you shouldnt have to "carry harder" in a 4v5 against a jinx / Tryndamere split push team. Its just not very possible, you cant be in two places at once. Unless you are LB.

Please let me know what your stance is on this because I really think this may discourage me from playing, Bronze is real ugly and I'm not sure I can handle going through that again.

Riot needs to implement loss forgiven in a 4v5 and I don't care about their excuses anymore.

Lol I was plat 5 and knew I was going to be gold with soft reset but last season it took me 7 promos to get out of g2 and now I'm placed in G4:/ the torture again.

This is a team game, not an individual game, there is no single carry against 5 other enemies as it is impossible so why riot feels the need to pressure people by forcing them to lose LP because of afks or even feeders is beyond me. You cannot possibly expect people to get better when you force them to lower ranks and expect them to claw their way back up. The elo hell is real, people, its in the form of trolls, afks, and feeders and it needs to stop, something needs to be done about this as I can go with a 7 game win streak then get kicked down 3 fucking ranks because a massive influx of stupidity and unfair losses that could have been avoided. This is insane and quite frankly enough to make quite a few people quit. Riot favors those of higher rankings, they kiss their asses and in turn their asses are kissed by the posterchildren that effectively own this fucking game. You shit on your cash cow and eventually everyone is going to get sick of being ignored and move on. You can't have a business if you don't take care of your customers.
