or at least a reset. "due to a teammate leaving the game, this game did not count towards your loses" .

seriously, how am i suppose to win 2/3 games when i get 1 afk? it's like handicap mode. punishment should be doubled when someone is in series.

It will be hard to find solution , because the system can be exploited easy if they make the game don't count if you are in promo and some 1 leaves. Since if you duo with your friend and u see that you gona lose he can leave and save your promo . For instance , you are in promo to plat 5 from Gold 1 and duo que with gold 5 bottom player he can go afk without any hard consequences , and u'll still have a shot if you are 2 and 2 .

yeah but the if the punishment is doubled, then not a lot of people would do it. like a 30 min wait for draft mode, and having to play at least 30 draft mode games before being allowed back in rank.

it's not difficult too see if you're in duo with someone and take decision with this knowledge. Plus a good punishment (2-4 times the ammount of lost lp, a demotion if you have 0 lp o and insufficent number of lp) is a good way to stop this habit.

Here's my take on this problem:

No one should ever benefit, in any way, from someone on their team committing a reportable offense. This includes any variation of 'loss forgiven' or other negative reinforcement (reinforcement by the removal of a negative stimulus). Allowing people to benefit from reportable offenses gives an incentive to those people to promote, encourage, or conspire to commit those offenses. This is directly contrary to the goal of the community to reduce the occurrence of those offenses.

That said, I would have no objection to increasing penalties for AFKers across the board, in ranked specifically, or even just for a teammate's 'promos'.
